Narabeer highlights summer-ready Naramachi Lager and seasonal taps
Narabeer Naramachi Brewery in Nara shared its summer tap lineup on Instagram, featuring the crisp Naramachi Lager alongside six core beers and three limited releases. The post shows a brewery that keeps a broad range of house-brewed styles available on site.
Hop BroPerfect news for a Naramachi stroll: Nara Bakushu is highlighting Naramachi Lager for summer, and the whole tap list sounds tempting.
MugiWait, six core, three limited? I'd be stuck in front of the taps forever going, "Which one do I pick?!"
Hop BroThe range is the fun part. Their regular lineup runs from Pale Ale to Saison: Naramachi Ale, Haku, Kuro, Ao, Akane, and Midori, all with distinct personalities.
MugiEven the names sound cool! But on a blazing day, is lager over Haku the better first-glass chugger?
Hop BroFor that job, Naramachi Lager is the obvious pick. It's a Pilsner, built for summer refreshment, with that clean lager character from bottom fermentation.
MugiHold on, bottom fermentation? What is that? Is the beer sitting quietly at the bottom of the tank like it's in timeout?
Hop BroCute image, wrong science. It means fermenting slowly at low temperature, which keeps the profile tidy and gives you a crisp finish.
MugiOooh! Then summer starts with lager, and for a twist I'd want Spice Rich Ale too. That kind of limited release sounds dangerously fun.
Hop BroExactly, and the limited side has three seasonal pours: N3 as an IPA, Naramachi Lager as a Pilsner, and Spice Rich Ale as a Spice Ale, so the spread is legit.
MugiAnd they brew it right in Naramachi? A beer stop during sightseeing is way too strong an argument. That's not a detour, that's the main event!
Hop BroPlus it's within walking distance of Kintetsu Nara Station, so after the old-town stroll I'd want a regular-vs-limited tasting and then circle back to the lager.
MugiI'm starting with a toast of Naramachi Lager, then chasing it with N3 and Spice Rich Ale. This article makes me want a glass right now!
