LANA Beer taps Shirosuzume Schwarzbier and Miroku Beer IPL, also serving beef tendon stew in a dote-ni style
The beer pub LANA Beer in Mizonokuchi, Kawasaki, is preparing beef tendon stew in a red-miso-based dote-ni style and will offer it in limited quantities for the weekend. It is also tapping Shirosuzume Schwarzbier and Miroku Beer IPL, creating a lineup designed with food pairings in mind.
Hop BroToday, LANA Beer in Kawasaki’s Mizonokuchi is bringing the heat. They’re preparing beef tendon stew in a dote-ni style and opening a Shirosuzume Schwarzbier too, so this is a lineup that’s clearly here to make you drink.
MugiWhoa! Dote-ni style sounds like something that would go great with rice already, and now they’re pairing it with beer too!? And Schwarzbier sounds like a seriously strong name!
Hop BroSchwarzbier is a German-style dark beer, but even though it looks heavy, it drinks pretty clean. LANA Beer matched that richness by making the beef tendon a little sweeter with a red-miso base, which is the smart part.
MugiHuh~! But why does a red-miso base go so well with beer? I always thought miso was more of a rice sidekick, so this feels like it suddenly got sent to work in the beer world!
Hop BroThat’s what’s interesting about it: the umami from fermentation in the miso and the gelatin-like richness of the beef tendon pick up the malt sweetness in the beer. On top of that, LANA Beer has always emphasized a food-forward lineup, so the dishes and drinks really feel like they’re talking to each other.
MugiWhat is this, the whole place is built around the idea of drinking! I love that they go all the way from edamame to a sausage platter, and even call it beer-pub edamame!
Hop BroAnd this time it’s a limited weekend batch, so if you find it, you’ve basically won. The previous red-miso version was well received, and keeping that direction while tuning it a little sweeter to suit Shirosuzume is a nice touch.
MugiWait, it’s a little sweeter!? Then if the slight bitterness of the dark beer and the stew’s richness are side by side, isn’t your mouth already winning?
Hop BroAnd starting tomorrow, they’re planning to tap Miroku Beer IPL as well. IPL stands for India Pale Lager, and it has the hop aroma of an IPA but the crisp finish of a lager, so it helps cut through the fat in the stew nicely.
MugiGot it, so you reset your palate with the crisp IPL and then loop right back to the beef tendon! This is the kind of place where you think you’ll stay for one or two drinks and end up lingering forever.
Hop BroExactly. LANA Beer is great whether you’re just popping in for a quick drink or settling in for a proper meal. Tonight it’s stew and dark beer, and tomorrow it might be IPL too. Either way, it’s the kind of place that makes you want both.
MugiDecided! It starts with a drink in Mizonokuchi, and before you know it you’re on your second or third. I want to go check out the beef tendon and beer pairing as soon as possible!
LANA Beer is a beer pub and beer stand in Mizonokuchi, Kanagawa. On its official website, it offers pours such as "Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label Once-Pour," "The Perfect Black Label," "Asahi Draft Beer Maruef," "SORACHI1984," and "BREWDOG PUNK IPA," all served through swing faucets, while the food menu is also built around beer. The food lineup centers on dishes meant to be enjoyed with drinks, including beer-pub edamame, house-made sauerkraut, currywurst, a sausage platter, and beef skirt steak.
In this Instagram post, the shop announced that it will prepare beef tendon stew in a "dote-ni style" and serve it in limited quantities for the weekend. Since the previous red-miso-based version was well received, this one follows that approach while leaning slightly sweeter and richer to pair with the stocked Shirosuzume Schwarzbier. In addition, Miroku Beer IPL is scheduled to be tapped starting tomorrow, making for a lineup that is easy to enjoy alongside the stew.
LANA Beer is the kind of place that works both for a casual stop for one or two drinks and for a meal you want to sit down and enjoy properly at a table. It is an easy choice when you want to enjoy the character of beer and the compatibility between drinks and food at the same time.
