Bar Fiddich in Nara taps Nara Brewing's DOUBLE SWISHER and Isekadoya's Meyer Lemon Radler
At Bar Fiddich in Minami-Ichicho, Nara, two guest beers are on tap: Nara Brewing and ANY B&B + COFFEE's collaboration DOUBLE SWISHER, and Isekadoya Beer’s Meyer Lemon Radler. Both are limited to 10-liter kegs each, making for a summer-friendly lineup.
Hop BroBar Fiddich in Nara just tapped two summer guest beers: Nara Brewing’s DOUBLE SWISHER and Isekadoya Beer’s Meyer Lemon Radler. That is a very solid lineup.
MugiWhat! Those names hit hard. DOUBLE SWISHER sounds like a special move, and Radler sounds like I need a spell book.
Hop BroDOUBLE SWISHER is an ANY B&B + COFFEE collab, and it turns the light snap of an espresso tonic into beer. It is only 4.5% ABV, so it stays really breezy.
MugiWait, espresso tonic as beer? Is it coffee, is it beer, or did breakfast and happy hour crash into each other?
Hop BroThat is the fun part: it uses two roast layers of Ugandan natural-process beans, plus a yeast that gives an orange-like note, so it creates fruitiness without actual fruit.
MugiHold on, orange-like note? That sounds suspiciously like wizard language. No oranges, but orange vibes?
Hop BroExactly, that is yeast doing the work. Simple version: coffee character, but not heavy, and it drinks with that tonic-like lift.
MugiOkay, then what about Meyer Lemon Radler? The name alone makes me want to stand in front of an open fridge.
Hop BroThat one is a grown-up bitter lemonade kind of beer, with soft Meyer lemon sweetness and acidity, then Tettnanger hops adding a clean herbal aroma.
MugiWait, who is Tettnanger? Why did a German detective just walk into my beer?
Hop BroNot a person, just a hop variety, and its job is fresh herbal aroma. The finish stays gently bitter, so it goes down dangerously easy in hot weather.
MugiAnd both are limited to 10 liters each, right? A side-by-side at that second-floor Bar Fiddich near Naramachi sounds way too correct.
Hop BroAt Bar Fiddich, the comparison flight basically builds your whole summer, from coffee-driven refreshment to lemony coolness.
MugiMy thirst is fully activated now. Starting with DOUBLE SWISHER or the Meyer Lemon Radler is the kind of problem I respect.
Bar Fiddich, a beer pub in Minami-Ichicho, Nara, has tapped two guest beers. The lineup features DOUBLE SWISHER, a collaboration between Nara Brewing and the Nara specialty coffee roaster ANY B&B + COFFEE, alongside Meyer Lemon Radler from Isekadoya Beer. Each beer is available in a limited 10-liter keg, tailored for the hot season.
DOUBLE SWISHER is built around the light, refreshing character of espresso tonic. Ugandan natural-process beans are split into two roast levels, light and dark, then blended with a yeast that adds orange-like nuance. The result is a vivid fruity impression without using any fruit. It comes in at 4.5% ABV and drinks with tonic-like ease.
Meyer Lemon Radler takes a different route: sweet, rounded citrus aroma from Meyer lemon, followed by the herbal lift of German Tettnanger hops. The finish is crisp, with gentle bitterness and a clean, easygoing aftertaste. At Bar Fiddich, tucked on the second floor near Naramachi, drinkers can compare a coffee-driven summer beer with a lemon-forward radler in one stop.
