Nara Brewing, based in Nara City, has announced the first shipment shops for TIMMUR, an amber lager brewed with timur, a Nepali pepper. The collaboration with modern Nepali restaurant OLD NEPAL TOKYO brings citrus-like aroma and a gentle tingling note to the beer.
Hop BroToday’s topic is TIMMUR’s first release. Nara Brewing has launched an amber lager brewed with timmur, a Nepalese pepper.
MugiWhat! Nepalese pepper in beer? My tongue is getting nervous just from the name!
Hop BroAnd this one is a collab with OLD NEPAL TOKYO, a modern Nepalese restaurant, so the food pairing idea is built right in.
MugiWait, what even is an amber lager? It sounds like a final boss made of bronze!
Hop BroAn amber lager is a clean lager with malty richness on top, so it has a fuller color and a rounder taste.
MugiOkay, then what kind of aroma does timmur add? Did a spice rack just apply for a bar shift?
Hop BroTIMMUR gives off a citrus-like aroma, then leaves a gentle tingling finish. It’s elegant, not full attack mode.
MugiNo way! Gentle tingling sounds impossible. So it has spice, but it still behaves?
Hop BroExactly. They keep the spice balanced, which makes it great with food, not just a novelty beer.
MugiAnd the first shipment is retail shops only, right? Hokkaido to Kanto to Kansai sounds like a nationwide treasure hunt.
Hop BroYep. Online sales start at noon on June 26, and each shop has its own release date, but now I really want it with Nepalese food.
MugiThat’s it, my brain is already at cheers with TIMMUR. Hop bro, we’re going on a tasting run, right?

The first shipment is going to bottle shops and liquor stores across Japan, from Hokkaido and the Tokyo area to Kansai and even Shimane. Because store arrival dates and sales timing may differ by retailer, customers are advised to check directly with each shop before heading out.
Online sales at Nara Brewing's own store begin at noon on June 26. As a brewery in Nara City, Nara Brewing has continued to build beers that connect local brewing with food culture, and TIMMUR fits that approach by exploring how spice and beer can work together at the table.
