At Namacha-n Stand Shiinamachi in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, the new "Oolong Beer" has been tapped. The shop has prepared six draft beers from NAMACHA'n Brewing, offering a wide range of choices from a new Tea Beer to Hazy IPA, Kölsch, and California Common.
Hop BroA new beer has been tapped at Namacha-n Stand in Shiinamachi. Today there are six draft beers from NAMACHA'n Brewing on the lineup, and the one drawing the most attention is "Oolong Beer."
MugiWait, what even is Oolong Beer? My brain can't keep up with tea and beer coexisting like that!
Hop BroIt's a Tea Beer with an ABV of 5.5%. It was brewed by Ota-chan, a brewer who likes malty, sweeter beers.
MugiBut when you say it uses only first wort, it suddenly sounds way too artisanal and I'm being left behind!
Hop BroFirst wort means the very first, most flavor-rich runnings drawn from the malt. By adding oolong tea leaves to that, the malt's sweetness and the tea's aroma overlap beautifully.
MugiWow! And an aroma like black tea sounds so refined. This is the kind of beer you'd want to sip slowly, even without snacks!
Hop BroExactly. And the tap list that day was great too, with all six draft beers lined up. It's a lineup where you can choose based on your mood, from hard seltzer to IPA to lager.
MugiWhat a lineup! But Hazy IPA's hop cocktail sounds like it could get me tipsy just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. It's an IPA that really puts hop aroma front and center, and with beers like the DDH IPL Hyakukokonotsu DDH Lager and the Kölsch Lemon Kölsch on tap, tasting side by side is a lot of fun. There's plenty of light, easy-drinking character too.
MugiGot it, today is a tasting comparison in Shiinamachi. Ending with Oolong Beer for a quiet, reflective finish sounds too good, and now I really want to go!
