Enjoying Guest Cans at the Standing Bar

`Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi`, located in Nagasaki, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, is a beer bar with `NAMACHA'n Brewing`'s second brewery attached. It combines a bottle shop, smoked snacks, and a small standing beer bar, making it convenient whether you want to stop in for a quick drink or take home an interesting can. Its location, about a five-minute walk from the north exit of Shiinamachi Station, also makes it easy to use as part of everyday life.

The post introduced in this update was about new can beer stock. Added to the lineup is `Frustum // Frustum`, a collaboration beer from `VERTERE` in Okutama and `Ise Kadoya Beer` in Mie. The style is Hazy IPA. The post noted that it was brewed with a different yeast than usual and a different lot of Strata hops, and described impressions of mango, pineapple, ripe berries, and a subtle creamy character.

NAMACHA'n-affiliated shops have the appeal of seeing house-brewed beers and guest beers lined up on the same shelf. At the Shiinamachi location, it seems like a great place to slowly enjoy a fruit-forward Hazy IPA alongside smoked snacks. It's a beer that suits both casually trying it standing at the bar and taking a can home to enjoy more deliberately, and it's one to keep in mind when looking for craft beer nearby.
