Two new releases at the Tachikawa taproom


Sakamichi Brewing is a brewery based in Tachikawa, Tokyo. On its official website, it emphasizes a commitment to delivering beers across a wide range of styles in a modern, homey space while placing importance on the brewing process, techniques, and attention to detail.

This post appears to introduce two new releases from Nara Brewing, which was selected as this year's JBC Champion Brewery. According to Nara Brewing's official information, the American IPA "LOCOMOTION" and the American-Belgo-Style Ale "SPIRAL" are being introduced. LOCOMOTION is a juicy IPA made with Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra, characterized by aromas reminiscent of grapefruit and pineapple, along with restrained bitterness. SPIRAL combines Azacca, Hüll Melon, and Hallertau Blanc, layering impressions of melon, papaya, and citrus with spicy notes derived from saison yeast.

Nara Brewing is a brewery that champions "the joy of choosing beer, the joy of new discoveries," and in recent years has continued to steadily release a wide variety of new beers. If you can encounter its latest lineup in Tachikawa, the pleasure of comparing styles becomes even greater. An IPA with a clear hop profile and a Belgo-style ale that lets you enjoy changes in aroma. The appeal of being able to choose according to your mood is very much like Nara Brewing.
