Nara Beer Naramachi Brewery to Offer Limited-Time Revival of MOMO IPA
On a March 7 post, Nara City's "Nara Beer Naramachi Brewery" shared its latest tap information and announced a limited-time revival of "MOMO IPA," which had been tapped in the summer of 2025. It also posted its operating schedule from the weekend into the following week, along with guidance on the busiest hours.
Hop BroNara's "Nara Beer Naramachi Brewery" brought back "MOMO IPA" in a March 7 post! It's a limited-time comeback for the one that was tapped in the summer of 2025, and that's hot.
MugiWait, a revival means it comes back like a popular menu item?! Even the name MOMO IPA already feels spring-like and intriguing!
Hop BroThat's the idea. It's an IPA, and it's a beer you can enjoy for its bright aroma that evokes peaches. The seasonal window to drink it has come around again.
MugiHuh! But when I hear IPA, my brain starts yelling, 'Bitter! Strong! Hard to understand!'
Hop BroThat's the fun of hop aroma, right? Roughly speaking, it's a style you enjoy for layers of aroma, not just bitterness. MOMO IPA should be especially fruity and easy to get into.
MugiWhat is that! Suddenly it's a gentle world! So even a beginner like me can drink it while saying, 'So peachy!'
Hop BroAnd the lineup is broad. Today's taps are Naramachi Ale (Pale Ale), Kuro (Stout), Ao (IPA), and Koharu Blanche (Saison). The limited-time beers also include New Zealand-W (W-IPA), a pilsner, and spice ale.
MugiToo many choices, happily overwhelming! But if it's so crowded I can't get in, I'll cry!
Hop BroAccording to the shop's notice, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. tends to be busy, so right after opening or later in the evening is the best bet. From 3/7 to 3/9 they're open, Tuesday 3/10 is closed, and last order is 30 minutes before closing each day.
MugiPerfect strategy meeting! Let's toast in Naramachi in Nara with MOMO IPA first! My mouth is already on standby for craft beer!
Nara Beer Naramachi Brewery, based in Naramachi, Nara, updated its operating information and tap list in an Instagram post at 11:48 a.m. on March 7, 2026. The highlight this time is the limited-time revival of "MOMO IPA." The post explicitly says that it is reviving MOMO IPA, which was tapped in the summer of 2025, bringing back a seasonally fitting brew that evokes peaches.
The day-of notice also addresses in-house congestion in specific terms. It says 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. tends to be busy, while right after opening and after the evening rush are easier times to visit. If you're coming for the beer, simply shifting your visit a bit could make the stay more comfortable.
