Sakamichi Brewing Adds Three Nara Brewing Beers, Including Study in Rouge
Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa highlighted a new Nara Brewing lineup on Instagram, featuring Study in Rouge, Typhina, and Camouflage. The three beers span a fruit sour ale, a Keller Pils collaboration with VERTERE, and a hazy IPA.
Hop BroTachikawa's taps are looking serious today. Three new Nara Brewing beers just showed up at Sakamichi Brewing.
MugiWait, what! Sakamichi Brewing pours guest beer too? That tap-list storytelling is kind of amazing.
Hop BroFirst is STUDY IN ROUGE. It's a fruit sour ale with raspberry tang, a little vanilla on the finish, and this pale rose look.
MugiNo way! That's giving dessert-in-a-glass energy, but with a sour kick? That color sounds unfair.
Hop BroThen there's TYPHINA, a collab with VERTERE, and the style is Keller Pils. Lower carbonation, softer malt sweetness, really steady and clean.
MugiWhat is that! Doesn't keller mean cellar? Why does this beer suddenly sound like real estate?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah, that's the root of the word. In beer terms it suggests a more natural, less polished feel. Basically it's a gentle easy-drinker of a pils.
MugiOkay, got it! So it's the quiet overachiever beer. Looks calm, then suddenly I'm ordering a second one.
Hop BroAnd then CAMOUFLAGE, made for Nara Brewing's 8th anniversary. It's a Hazy IPA loaded with Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra, and Galaxy, super juicy but still light on the finish.
MugiThat hop lineup is ridiculous! If it's a summer-friendly finish, I want the full route: sour first, pils next, hazy last.
Hop BroThat's the Sakamichi Brewing move, really. They connect different brewery personalities so well, and drinking flights in Tachikawa sounds like a great plan.
MugiThen that's settled. Straight to the taproom. I'm starting with STUDY IN ROUGE, you're taking CAMOUFLAGE, and we toast with TYPHINA.
Three Nara Brewing beers on tap
Sakamichi Brewing is a craft brewery and taproom in Tachikawa, Tokyo. On its website, the brewery emphasizes a wide range of beer styles, from familiar lagers and ales to more modern interpretations, alongside a focus on responsible brewing and local connections.
The Instagram post points to three beers from Nara Brewing. The first is STUDY IN ROUGE, a fruit sour ale with vanilla. According to Nara Brewing’s official beer page, it is built around raspberry-like tartness with a vanilla finish, giving it a soft pink appearance and a sweet-sour profile.
The second is TYPHINA, a Keller Pils. Nara Brewing describes it as a collaboration beer with VERTERE in Okutama. It is positioned as a softer, lower-carbonation pilsner with gentle malt sweetness, making it an easy-drinking but characterful option.
The third beer, CAMOUFLAGE, is an anniversary Hazy IPA released for Nara Brewing’s 8th year. Built with Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra, and Galaxy, it aims for a juicy hop-forward character while keeping the finish light and clean.
For beer drinkers, this kind of taproom update is exactly the sort of post worth watching: three different styles, one brewery’s point of view, and a clear sense of how Sakamichi Brewing curates its lineup. Instead of relying only on its own beers, the Tachikawa taproom uses guest selections to show how different breweries and brewing philosophies can sit side by side on draft.
