At the brewpub Namacha Stand Shiinamachi in Nagasaki, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, the tap lineup was updated. The spotlight this time is the new release Namachan's Kir Royale, a collaboration between NAMACHA Brewing and Yuya Boys. The post describes it as a beer combining champagne yeast and cassis puree, with the style listed as Brut Sparkling Ale and the ABV at 7.0%.

Designed to be crisp and dry, while layering in a bright aroma and fruit-derived acidity, it looks like a beer that works well both as a toast and with food. The tap list clearly reflects the Shiinamachi shop's style of centering its own brews while lining up beers with distinct personalities.

Taps announced for the day


- Namachan's Spice Cookie (Herb & Spice Beer)
- Namachan's Kir Royale (Brut Sparkling Ale)
- Namachan's IPA (Moza-Citra-Simcoe ver.) (IPA)
- Namachan and Ina-chan's Goku Goku Smoke (Smoked Helles Lager)
- Namachan's Lager (Dortmunder)
- FANTASISTA - Grapes Are Our Friends - (Sour IPA with Grape / guest)

With five house beers at the core, this lineup makes it easy to compare across hop, malt, and yeast character. Adding the guest NEKOBEER beer expands the range all the way to a grape-inflected sour IPA. For anyone in the Shiinamachi area looking for a broad craft beer experience in one stop, this is one worth noting.
