Susukino Yell STAND, a beer pub located in the basement of COCONO SUSUKINO in central Sapporo, is offering Polaris from NAKAFURANO BREWERY.

Polaris is a stout brewed with spring water from the Tokachi-dake mountain range. Roasted malt brings a fragrant, robust malt profile typical of a dark beer, while its relatively low alcohol level keeps the palate from becoming overly heavy. The finish is clean and refreshing, making it an approachable choice for drinkers who are curious about dark beer but may be hesitant about intense bitterness or fullness.

Based in Nakafurano, NAKAFURANO BREWERY focuses on brewing with the region’s natural resources, including water from the Tokachi-dake range and locally connected ingredients. Polaris balances roasted depth and malt richness with a drinkable character that encourages another sip.

Susukino Yell STAND is a standing beer pub where draft craft beers from around Hokkaido can be enjoyed. Directly connected to Susukino Station inside COCONO SUSUKINO, it is convenient for a daytime drink, a stop during shopping, or a pre-dinner beer. The casual counter-style setting is complemented by snacks using Hokkaido ingredients and a rotating selection of beers.

Polaris can be enjoyed on its own to focus on its roasted malt finish, or paired with savory foods such as meat dishes and smoked snacks. It offers an easy way to experience a dark beer shaped by the water and brewing culture of Nakafurano in the heart of Sapporo. Availability should be confirmed with the venue.
