Nara Brewing Co. Announces Initial Shipping Locations for DOUBLE SWISHER
Nara Brewing Co. has announced the initial shipping locations for DOUBLE SWISHER, a collaboration with Nara specialty coffee roaster ANY B&B + COFFEE. The beer aims to translate the light, refreshing character of an espresso tonic into beer.
Hop BroI can’t stop thinking about DOUBLE SWISHER today. Nara Brewing teamed up with ANY B&B + COFFEE to turn the light, refreshing feel of an espresso tonic into a beer.
MugiWhat! Espresso tonic like that fizzy, refreshing coffee drink? Turning that into beer feels like a wild plot twist!
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it’s interesting. It’s an inspired beer, with 4.5% ABV and just 8 IBU, so it’s built to stay light and easy rather than bitter.
MugiHold on, IBU 8 sounds like a test score! Does that basically mean even beginners can jump right in?
Hop BroThat’s pretty much it. And the recipe is seriously detailed: East Kent Golding, Merkur, Pale Ale Malt, Lactose, Coffee, and Roasted Barley. That precise build feels very Nara Brewing.
MugiWait, what? Lactose just showed up like this is suddenly chemistry class! What does that do to the beer?
Hop BroIt softens the edges with a gentle sweetness and helps support the coffee aroma. They also steeped coffee beans, so when you pour it, that pale amber glow and coffee nose really come alive.
MugiNo way! And with Ugandan natural-process beans plus a two-layer light-and-dark roast blend, the coffee commitment is so intense the beer probably had to stand up straighter!
Hop BroThen you get apricot-like acidity, an orange-like yeast nuance, and a finish that snaps away with a tonic-like finish. That’s a very elegant design.
MugiAnd it’s coming in both cans and draft, with the online store sale starting at noon on August 21? I’m putting that on my calendar in giant letters.
Hop BroThey also announced the first shipment lineup, with shops and venues across places like Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka, and Nara. That makes the hunt way easier.
MugiThat settles it, then. I want to drink this now, and before we do, I’m absolutely studying espresso tonics so my first sip can be fully dramatic!
Nara Brewing Co., a craft brewery based in Nara City, has introduced `DOUBLE SWISHER`, a collaboration with specialty coffee roaster ANY B&B + COFFEE. The concept is straightforward: recreate the lightness and refreshing finish of an espresso tonic in beer form. The beer is being released in both cans and draft, and Nara Brewing Co.'s online store will begin sales at noon on August 21.
`DOUBLE SWISHER` is an espresso-tonic-inspired beer with 4.5% ABV and 8 IBU. The recipe uses East Kent Golding and Merkur hops, Pale Ale Malt, plus lactose, coffee, and roasted barley. It is built around coffee-soaked character and pours a pale amber color with a clean, bright appearance.
The flavor design is layered. Coffee beans roasted by ANY B&B + COFFEE's barista and roaster Yutaro were selected to suit the beer's profile. Notes from Uganda natural beans add a subtle fruit character, while a two-layer blend of light and dark roast brings together apricot-like acidity and coffee-like toastiness. Yeast-driven orange nuances lift the aroma, and the finish stays crisp and tonic-like.
For beer drinkers, the appeal is that this is not simply a coffee beer with heavy roast character. It is built for easy drinking, with coffee and beer working together without losing freshness. That balance is what makes DOUBLE SWISHER a release worth watching for fans of both craft beer and specialty coffee.
