At the brewpub Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, several NAMACHAん Brewing beers have been tapped. In this post, 'Namachan's Gold Rush Lager' is introduced as a classic pint with the feel of old-school America.

Current tap list


- Namachan's Rauch (Rauch)
- Namachan's Mango Weizen (Fruit Beer)
- Namachan's Gold Rush Lager (California Common)
- Namachan's Hazy IPA (Nectaron Ver.) (Hazy IPA)
- Namachan's Addictive Ale Mabo (Herb & Spice Beer)

Among them, Gold Rush Lager is designed with woody, lightly herbal hop nuances layered over malt character that suggests light caramel and toast. Rather than flashy impact, it is the kind of beer whose umami gradually opens up, making it well suited to people who want to drink at a relaxed pace.

The breadth of the lineup is another highlight. From the smoky Rauch, the fruity Mango Weizen, the hop-forward Hazy IPA, to the spice-driven Addictive Ale Mabo, the shop offers a lineup that makes it easy to compare different tastes in one place.

On the food side, smoked beef tongue sausage is also listed, another dish chosen with beer pairing in mind. True to the brewpub style, one of Shiinamachi's charms is that you can enjoy everything from beer to food centered around beer. It is the kind of place to stop by when you want to check out the personality of house-brewed beer or spend a night tasting different styles side by side.
