Nara Beer posts its tap lineup with four limited beers
In a June 23 Instagram post, Nara Beer Naramachi Brewery listed its current taps, including six regular beers and four limited offerings. The post also pointed visitors toward its Naramachi taproom for a stop during a walk through the neighborhood.
Hop BroPerfect topic for a Nara stroll detour: Naramugishu's latest taps look seriously strong. In the June 23 update, they lined up six core beers plus four limited ones.
MugiFour limited beers too!? If you show me that lineup right after I see baby deer in Nara Park, my "casual walk" is turning into a full-on beer crawl!
Hop BroAnd the six core styles are solid too. Naramachi Ale is a Pale Ale, Shiro-haku- is a Weizen, Kuro-gen- is a Stout, Ao-heki- is an IPA, Akane is a Scotch Ale, and Midori is a Saison, so the range is properly broad.
MugiWhat even is Saison? That sounds like a special attack move and I am absolutely losing the plot here!
Hop BroThink of Saison as a breezy farmhouse beer. It often has spicy notes from Belgian-style yeast and a dry finish, so it goes down really smoothly after walking around on a hot day.
MugiAn ultra-bitter Pilsner also caught my eye! Naramachi Lager
Hop BroThat is exactly the fun part: it's a bitterness-forward Pilsner. It should keep that crisp lager snap while pushing the hops, so it's refreshing but sharply bitter, basically more eye-opening than the deer.
MugiStrawberry and mango Weizens too? That feels unfair! If Shiro-haku- is already wheat-based, fruit versions are basically entering dessert territory!
Hop BroWeizen has that soft wheat texture, so it pairs really well with fruit. Then they add a Spice Rich Ale on top, which means the tasting range goes from refreshing to full-on quirky.
MugiAnd if they're open from 11 to 5, that's super easy to fit into a walk! No food, sure, but with a one-drink minimum, that "just one" plan sounds dangerously fake!
Hop BroWeekday seat reservations are quietly helpful too. It's a 20-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara or JR Nara Station, or just 3 minutes from the Tanaka-cho or Kidera-cho bus stops, so it really suits a Naramachi wander.
MugiIf there are ten choices total from core to limited, there is no way I'm keeping this at "just a stop along the way." After seeing the baby deer, I want a serious side-by-side of the strawberry Weizen and the ultra-bitter lager!
Hop BroA beer in Nara today sounds like the only correct answer. I'm already thirsty just imagining starting with Naramachi Ale and finishing with the Spice Rich Ale.
