Beer Bar Marble taps its 8th-anniversary "Eight Star Apple"
Beer Bar Marble in Tempaku Ward, Nagoya, has tapped an "extra star anise" version of its original beer "Eight Star Apple," brewed to mark its 8th anniversary. The current draft lineup features house brews alongside beers from domestic breweries with distinct personalities.
Hop BroNagoya's Beer Bar Marble has tapped Eight Star Apple, the beer it brewed for its 8th anniversary. It's a playful glass layered with apple and star anise.
MugiWait, what is "extra star anise"? Apple plus spice is making my brain unable to keep up with whether this is sweet or spicy!
Hop BroThe base is Graf w/ star anise, a drink that combines beer and apple juice. The bitterness is restrained, so the fruit character becomes the star.
MugiGraf? Like a graph? The number kind? And IBU 3 is so low it's basically a blob of kindness, right?
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a measure of bitterness, and 3 is very light. Plus it's 4.0% alcohol, so it's designed to go down easily with food.
MugiWhoa! And Nagano's apples grown with the leaves left on are the kind that really keep their aroma, right? It should bring out not just the sweetness but the fruit's outline too!
Hop BroThat's right. Then they layer in star anise's anise-like aroma, so it's not just a fruit beer. The layered aroma is the interesting part. It's also really good as a food-pairing beer.
MugiAnd the taps right now are way too strong. Gose, hazy IPA, Brett IPA, Graf, pale ale - it's basically a tasting showdown!
Hop BroBeer Bar Marble is a beer pub in Uedaminami, Tempaku Ward, Nagoya. It opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends, so it's a super easy place to stop by whether after work or for a daytime drink.

Beer Bar Marble (Uedaminami, Tempaku Ward, Nagoya) announced on Instagram that it has tapped "Eight Star Apple," brewed for its 8th anniversary. The post describes it as a glass where the freshness of apple is layered with a subtle spice note; the style is Graf w/ star anise. At 4.0% ABV and IBU 3, its lightness on the palate is also notable.
The key point this time is the playful layering of star anise = 8, which also connects to the shop's name. The post says it uses apples from Tenryukyo, Nagano, grown with the leaves left on, preserving their sweetness and aroma and giving the beer a strong fruit character.
