Nara Brewing Announces First Shipment Stores for Collaboration Beer "TYPHINA" with VERTERE
Nara Brewing, a craft beer brewery in Nara City, has announced the first shipment stores for its collaboration beer "TYPHINA" with VERTERE of Okutama, Tokyo. As of April 18, sales are centered mainly at liquor shops, and it is also available through Nara Brewing's online store.
Hop BroToday it's about Nara Brewing's TYPHINA. The collaboration with VERTERE is interesting because it gives the pilsner style a little twist.
MugiWait, pilsner is that easy-drinking one, right? If they're tweaking that, what did they change?
Hop BroThe key point is that they lowered the carbonation. When you ease off the foam's bite, the malt sweetness and hop aroma come forward.
MugiI see... but if the carbonation is weaker, won't it get kind of slick or flat? That actually makes me nervous!
Hop BroThat's the real finesse of the design. It lets you clearly taste the malt sweetness without making the mouthfeel heavy, so it turns into a type of beer that's slowly and satisfyingly tasty.
MugiOh wow! And the partner is VERTERE, that popular brewery in Okutama. It really feels like a collaboration!
Hop BroExactly. And since VERTERE also has a separate beer with the same name, you even get the fun of comparing their interpretations. This is the kind of beer where you taste the differences in brewery philosophy.
MugiInterpretation differences, and now a beer rabbit hole...! So where can you buy it? These things usually run into the it's too far away to buy problem!
Hop BroThis time the first shipment stores are spread widely, from Aomori in the north to Kagoshima in the south. In Kansai, it's also available in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, and in Nara Prefecture itself it's easy to pick up locally.
MugiNara folks are lucky! And if it's also in the online store, then grab it the moment you find it.
Hop BroYeah, it's a beer that rewards you for appreciating the craft behind the design more than flashy impact, so tonight I want to take my time with it. A glass of delicate aroma like this is hard to pass up.
MugiI want one too! Savoring TYPHINA calmly sounds like the kind of beer that makes me want to get serious about choosing snacks too!
Nara Brewing, a craft beer brewery in Nara City, has announced the first shipment stores for its collaboration beer "TYPHINA (Tifina)" with VERTERE of Okutama, Tokyo. As of April 18, sales are centered mainly at liquor shops, and it is also available through Nara Brewing's online store.
"TYPHINA" is characterized by lower carbonation than a standard pilsner. By softening the prickle of the foam, it is designed so that the malt-derived sweetness and the delicate aroma of hops come through more clearly. Built on the approachable style of pilsner, it slightly changes the impression on the palate, bringing the contours of its aroma and flavor into sharper focus.
VERTERE also sells a separate beer of the same name in a different style, so there is enjoyment in tasting the interpretations of both breweries side by side. Viewed in the context of a collaboration, it is interesting that the different styles allow drinkers to experience each brewery's brewing philosophy.
The first shipment stores are spread widely, from Aomori in the north to Kagoshima in the south. In the Tokyo metropolitan area, the beer is available at liquor stores, department stores, and food-and-beverage sections in Tokyo and Kanagawa. In the Kansai region, it is also being carried in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. Within Nara Prefecture, names such as "Momotaro," "Noto to Hakko Zen," and "Kintetsu Department Store Nara Store Yamatoji" are listed, making it relatively easy to pick up locally.
As a brewery based in Kitanosho Nishimachi, Nara City, Nara Brewing has continued to release distinctive limited-edition beers and collaborations. This "TYPHINA" is also a beer that invites appreciation of its careful design rather than flashy impact. While retaining the drinkability typical of a pilsner, it is a beer that encourages a slow, thoughtful encounter, with its aroma and sweetness carefully adjusted in how they present themselves.
