Beer shop Llama Newly Taps Nara Brewing's "LIGHTHOUSE," Served on NITRO
At Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, on March 24, 2026, Nara Brewing's Micro Porter "LIGHTHOUSE" was introduced as a new tap. The low-alcohol porter is served with NITRO gas, and a diverse TAP list is also being shared.
Hop BroAt Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, Nara Brewing's LIGHTHOUSE has been newly tapped. It's a Micro Porter with ABV 3.0%, a strong choice for a night when you want to stop in casually.
MugiWhat! A porter with low alcohol at 3.0%? Then even if you mean to have just one drink tonight, you might end up wanting another!
Hop BroExactly, and it's served on NITRO. Using nitrogen creates finer bubbles and gives it a creamier mouthfeel.
MugiWhat? When you put nitrogen in beer, does it make the foam soft and fluffy? That suddenly feels like a fancy cafe!
Hop BroThat's right. It has roasty notes reminiscent of cocoa and coffee, and the softness from oat malt really comes through. It's also interesting how nutty notes emerge as the beer warms up.
MugiWow! Changing with temperature sounds like a beer personality test! Is it basically a totally different person when it's cold versus when it gets a little warmer?
Hop BroMore like its true face gradually comes out. It's not too heavy, so it works for a night when you want to savor a few glasses slowly, and the fact that it doesn't tire you out is great.
MugiAnd the fact that the same place has such a super varied TAP list is amazing! It feels like you can take a little trip through all kinds of styles in one shop, and it's fun even before you choose!
Hop BroRight. From Jofuku's "Medieval Scents" to WCB's "Full Hop Alchemist r7," the lineup spans a wide range from classic styles to DIPA. Llama is a place that knows how to show you the "now" of draft beer.
MugiIf it's a place you can use for both your first and second stop in Mitaka, that's perfect! Tonight I want to start by toasting with LIGHTHOUSE and then hop around the TAP list according to my mood!
