Vector Beer Omori Opens TYPHINA Tasting Pours from Nara Brewing and VERTERE
Vector Beer Omori has unveiled a tap list centered on "TYPHINA," the pilsner of the same name from Nara Brewing and VERTERE. The lineup also includes Suntory draft beer, Minoh Beer, Pilsner Urquell, and the brewery's own beers, offering a broad range for side-by-side tasting.
Hop BroVector Beer Omori is really bringing the heat today. The star is the TYPHINA tasting comparison, and lining up the same-named pilsners from Nara Brewing and VERTERE is such a choice for real beer nerds.
MugiWait! Same name, but different beers? Same name, different expression is a lot to wrap my head around!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Nara Brewing’s is a Modern Pilsner, while VERTERE’s is a Keller Pils. If you compare the differences in pilsner styles, even beers in the same family can show really different aromas and structure.
MugiHuh! But pilsners are basically just "light and easy to drink," right? Keller Pils sounds kind of scary, like some basement beer or something!
Hop BroNo need to be scared. Keller basically means something like a "cellar," and it usually leads to a slightly hazy, softer mouthfeel. Because of that soft mouthfeel, it can feel a little rounder even within a crisp pilsner.
MugiI see! And this one is pilsner-heavy, right? With Suntory Triple Nama and even Pilsner Urquell on the list, it’s like a traffic jam of tasting opportunities!
Hop BroExactly. They’ve also got their own Vector Brewing beers in the mix, including BiriBiri Neko Chop, White Cat Punch, and Black Cat Punch. Their house brewing is well represented, which really shows the character of the place.
MugiWait, aren’t there way too many cats!? And now Osaru IPA is in there too, so the hops are about to go wild!
Hop BroExactly. If you move from pilsners into an IPA, the hop character really jumps out. And with their rotisserie chicken finished with 20 kinds of spices, you can have a lot of fun with beer and food pairings too.
MugiIt’s easy to get to from Omori Station, and if there’s room at the bar, that’s ideal! It feels like the perfect day for a tasting comparison, so should we just grab some chicken and have a drink already?
From a Rainy-Day Full House to a Pilsner-Heavy Tap List
Vector Beer Omori has announced its latest tap list. In the post, the shop notes that while it was full despite the rain the day before, there is room to spare today, making it a good chance to relax and enjoy a tasting comparison.
The main attraction this time is the two bottles of Nara Brewing "TYPHINA" and VERTERE "TYPHINA". Both are pilsner-style beers: the former is introduced as a Modern Pilsner, while the latter is presented as a Keller Pils. Even with the same name, this is a lineup made for craft beer fans who want to compare differences in brewing and expression.
The lineup for the day included the following beers:
- Suntory "Triple Nama"
- Nara Brewing "TYPHINA"
- Vector Brewing "BiriBiri Neko Chop"
- Vector Brewing "Orange Field Hop Alien"
- Vector Brewing "White Cat Punch"
- Minoh Beer "Osaru IPA"
- Pilsner Urquell "Pilsner Urquell"
- Vector Brewing "Black Cat Punch"
- Vector Brewing "Spring Cat Punch"
- VERTERE "TYPHINA"
With pilsners as the core, but also IPA and house-brewed beers mixed in, the lineup lets you move from a light pint to a hop-forward beer in sequence. The shop itself describes it as "pilsner-heavy," making it an easy-drinking selection for the transition from spring into early summer.
