Hop BroShiinamachi's latest taps are out, and Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi Branch really delivered. The biggest highlight is the newly tapped "Yamitsuki Ale Mapo."
MugiWait, mapo that you drink!? The name Yamitsuki Ale Mapo already has way too much information in it!
Hop BroIt's a Herb & Spice Beer at ABV 5.5%. The design leans into the aroma of sansho pepper and the heat of chili peppers, a real "shibi-kara" style.
MugiWhat is "shibi-kara"!? A beer that makes your mouth tingle? Just hearing the aroma of sansho pepper is making my tongue buzz!
Hop BroExactly. It's about playing with the numbing sensation of sansho and the heat of chili. And the tap lineup for the day is interesting too, so the comparison tasting should be fun.
MugiOhhh! What else is on? If the comparison tasting is fun, then my stomach is getting serious too!
Hop BroFrom NAMACHA'n Brewing, there's Tsuyoki no, Nama. as a Double IPA, then "Nama-chan's Kir Royal" as a Brut Sparkling Ale, and even "Nama-chan's Lager" as a Dortmunder.
MugiWait, Kir Royal like that fancy drink!? Brut Sparkling Ale alone is enough to straighten my posture!
Hop BroYep, it's a light style that makes you think of grape-like character and effervescence, and here the Yuya Boys collaboration is also a key point. Plus, the guest cask includes Isekadoya Brewery's "Wild Party."
MugiWow, with that much going on in a station-close local atmosphere, that's amazing. Mapo ale in one hand and a spicy snack in the other, I want to toast right now!
