Hop BroExactly, it means easy to keep drinking. Altbier lets you feel the richness of malt, but it's not too heavy and has great balance, so even though it's not flashy, the good part sneaks up on you as you keep drinking.

Tap Information
On April 23, in line with "Craft Beer Day," LANA Beer (Rana Beer) completely refreshed its guest beer lineup. On tap this time are two beers from KUNITACHI BREWERY in Kunitachi City, Tokyo: `903 Altbier` and `2026 Japanese Rice Lager`.
`903 Altbier` is one of KUNITACHI BREWERY's flagship beers. It has the solid malt character typical of the alt style, yet the finish is highly drinkable. Since the owner is also an altbier fan, this is especially appealing for anyone who likes malt-forward beers with a strong personality. Rather than flashy, it is the kind of beer whose excellent balance comes through the more you keep drinking.
Meanwhile, `2026 Japanese Rice Lager` is a beer making its debut release. Named to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of the JR Kunitachi Station building, it takes the year 2026, the centennial year, as its title and is brewed with domestic malt, domestic hops, and rice grown in Kunitachi City. This beer looks at how to express the increasingly noticed rice lager style using domestic ingredients, and its carefully designed concept comes through in its crisp drinking character.
LANA Beer is a craft beer bar in the Mizonokuchi area that operates as both a beer hall and a beer stand. It is within walking distance of Mizonokuchi Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and Oimachi Line, as well as JR Musashi-Mizonokuchi Station, and its easy-to-visit location is part of its appeal. For Craft Beer Day, it is offering two beers of different styles side by side. Whether you want to enjoy malt depth or are interested in rice-based lagers, this is a tap lineup that makes you want to compare them and see what kind of character the bar has.
