Hop BroI’ve got a new release worth talking about today. Nara Brewing just revealed the first PHILHARMONY rollout.
MugiWait, that sounds like an orchestra! This beer has a concert-style name or what?
Hop BroIt’s a Belgian Wit from Nara Brewing, made with local Yamato tachibana citrus and lemongrass from Shimoichi for a bright Japanese-citrus punch.
MugiBelgian Wit suddenly sounds like a quiz. So what does that taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a light wheat-based beer with a soft, easy-drinking feel. Then the fruit and peel of Yamato tachibana add layered fresh aroma.
MugiWhoa, both the fruit and the peel? That citrus really said put me in, coach!
Hop BroAnd the launch is wide. Kegs are going to places like Berg and Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar, while cans are headed to Isetan Shinjuku and Nara Mahorobakan. Total keg-and-can combo.
MugiNo way! Tokyo, Kansai, and even Fukuoka? That’s basically a national tour schedule!
Hop BroExactly. It’s reaching Tokyo, Kanagawa, Kyoto, Nara, Aichi, and Fukuoka, and online sales start at noon on August 28. Checking each shop first is the smart move.
MugiGot it, I’m setting an alarm. A Belgian Wit with Japanese citrus and lemongrass sounds like peak summer reward!
Hop BroIf you find it, enjoy the aroma before the first sip. It feels like Nara Brewing packed local character into a tiny beer trip.
MugiI’m fully ready to drink this now. PHILHARMONY already gave me thirst with feelings!
