GREAT LAGER Tapped at NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro, BrewBeast Collab Also Announced
At NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro, Miyagi's GREAT DANE BREWING flagship beer, "GREAT LAGER," has been tapped. Also announced is the collaboration beer "Michinoku Silky Monster" with Iwate's BrewBeast, giving visitors the chance to enjoy it fresh from the tap at a venue attached to a brewery.
Hop BroI heard that GREAT LAGER is being tapped at NAMACHA'n Stand in Kita-Ikebukuro. It's the flagship from GREAT DANE BREWING in Miyagi, and it's definitely the kind of beer that really hits the spot for lager fans.
MugiWait, a lager and it still gets that much spotlight!? So a flagship beer really is the face of the brewery?
Hop BroExactly. And it's ABV 5.0%, so it's easy to drink, but it still has that citrusy finish. The blend of Wisconsin malt with Citra, Eldorado, and Tettnang is what makes it work.
MugiHold on, what is Tettnang? That suddenly sounds like a spell!
Hop BroGood question. Tettnang is a hop variety, basically one of the ingredients used for aroma. Citra brings citrus, Eldorado leans tropical, and they each play their part like a three-part hop harmony.
MugiOhhh! So the first sip gives you that crisp yet bright feeling, huh. I always thought lagers were more understated!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they're also announcing a collaboration with Iwate's BrewBeast, Michinoku Silky Monster, which is pretty exciting. The lineup shows a Tohoku-to-Tohoku connection, and it really feels like a true guest beer.
MugiWhat a name, that's already intense! Silky Monster doesn't make it clear whether it's gentle or wild!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro is a brewpub attached to the third brewery. You can drink beer that's just been made right there, and with the bottle shop and smoked snacks too, it's like all the fun is packed into one place.
MugiWait, they even have smoked snacks!? That sounds like a win before you even start drinking. A place like that is the best.
Hop BroAnd since it's open 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM on weekdays and 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on weekends and holidays, it's easy to stop by thanks to the convenience of being near the station. In the residential area of Kita-Ikebukuro, being able to relax with a fresh pint is a major plus.
MugiWow, just hearing about it makes me want a drink! If I pair a freshly poured pint with smoked snacks, it feels like all today's fatigue would just disappear!
Hop BroThen tonight's settled. Let's toast with GREAT LAGER, and if you're still in the mood, we can go for Michinoku Silky Monster too.
MugiI'm in! Now I want to do a Tohoku collaboration beer tour, and having a drink in Kita-Ikebukuro sounds like a really solid plan!
