Hop BroAt NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro in Kita-Ikebukuro, a collaboration celebrating the 8th anniversary of NAMACHA'n Brewing is on tap. The two kegs made with BrewBeast are the ones I'm really excited about right now.
MugiWhoa! Two kegs? And it's an 8th-anniversary collab on tap? The celebration vibe is absolutely in full swing!
Hop BroThe highlight is the Herb & Spice Hazy IPA Michinoku Silky Monster. It's 7.0% ABV and uses sake lees from Sekinoichi Shuzo in Iwate and fresh rosemary from Zao Herb in Miyagi.
MugiSake lees and rosemary!? That sounds more like a recipe than beer, and it's got way too much information going on!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. A Hazy IPA is a hazy-style IPA, and this one is all about aroma and mouthfeel with a clear herbal edge. It gives off a soft aroma and has a gentle texture on the palate.
MugiI get it, so it sounds like it smells light and fresh but still goes down easy. Now I really want to try it!
Hop BroThe other one, ESPRESSO STOUT, is not to be missed either. It was the beer that led to BrewBeast and the brewery first connecting, and it's back on tap for the first time in about a year and a half.
MugiA year and a half!? That's the kind of long-awaited comeback regulars have been waiting for. Coffee beer always makes me think of something dark and bitter, but what's it like?
Hop BroIts appeal is the lingering depth of dark roast and the roasty aroma from the coffee. It's not just bitter; it leaves a toasty finish that slowly lingers. It works well after a meal, and it pairs nicely with smoked snacks too.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If it pairs well with smoked snacks, then I feel like I could spend the whole night there!
Hop BroThat's what makes NAMACHA'n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro strong: you can pair craft beer brewed in Kita-Ikebukuro with smoked dishes. These two kegs are a lineup that lets you enjoy both a freshly made pint and a drink with food.
MugiPerfect! First I want to taste both kegs side by side, and then take it slow with some smoked snacks!
