Guest Beers from Two Kagawa Breweries Tapped at LANA Beer
At LANA Beer in Mizonokuchi, Kawasaki, guest beers from two breweries in Kagawa Prefecture have arrived. Shirosuzume's "Chousei" Schwarzbier and Miroku Beer's "Ajikan IPL" are being served, and beef tendon stew has also started appearing on the menu.
Hop BroAt LANA Beer in Mizonokuchi, two guest beers from Kagawa have arrived. The lineup of Shirosuzume's "Chousei" Schwarzbier and Miroku Beer's "Ajikan IPL" is really good, isn't it?
MugiWhoa! Breweries from Kagawa in Kawasaki!? It suddenly feels like traveling, and the sound of "two locally connected breweries" feels really warm!
Hop BroExactly. They're connected to the owner's home prefecture of Kagawa. And the contrast between a Schwarzbier with rich dark malt character and an IPL with a strong hop presence is what makes it interesting.
MugiWhat's a Schwarzbier!? I get that it's dark, but the word "Schwarzbier" alone already sounds kind of strong!
Hop BroIt's a German-style dark beer. It has roasted aroma, but the bitterness doesn't come across sharply. So I'd picture "Chousei" as something you can enjoy for its calm, dark character.
MugiOhhh! Then "Ajikan IPL" sounds crisp just from the name! When you say "hop presence," does that mean the aroma comes through in a fluffy way?
Hop BroExactly. IPL stands for India Pale Lager, and it's like combining the clean finish of a lager with the bright character of hops. In other words, it has a light feel on the palate, but the aroma still makes its presence known.
MugiAnd they even started serving Gyusuji Nikomi, dote-ni style at the same time. That's cheating! Aren't they piling up too many reasons to drink beer already?
Hop BroI know. That sweet-and-savory stew goes well with both the Schwarzbier's toastiness and the IPL's crispness. Being easy to pair with food is actually a pretty strong asset.
MugiMizonokuchi is easy to stop by after work too, and being within walking distance of the station is great. If they're open long from Thursday through Monday, I might be able to go today!
Hop BroThen tonight, let's go to LANA Beer, compare Chousei and Ajikan, and finish with the beef tendon stew. On a day like this, one drink just isn't enough.
MugiYeah, my throat is already in beer mode! I can't hold back the feeling that I want to drink right now!
Two Kagawa Labels Arrive at LANA Beer
At the beer hall and beer stand "LANA Beer" in Takatsu Ward, Kawasaki City, the guest beer lineup has changed. The two breweries now connected are Shirosuzume in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, and Miroku Beer in Marugame, Kagawa Prefecture. Both are breweries linked to the owner's home prefecture of Kagawa.
The two beers being served are Shirosuzume's "Chousei" Schwarzbier and Miroku Beer's "Ajikan IPL." The pairing of a Schwarzbier that lets you enjoy dark malt character and an IPL that draws attention with its hop presence makes the contrast in flavor especially clear.
A Dish to Enjoy Alongside the Beer
At LANA Beer, the previously announced "Gyusuji Nikomi, dote-ni style" also began being served on the same day. The lineup makes it easy to use whether you want a solid drinking session or want to pair a drink with a meal.
The shop is within walking distance of Mizonokuchi Station and is open Thursday through Monday from 11:30 to 23:00, and on Wednesdays from 17:00 to 23:00. It works well for an after-work drink or for lingering over a meal. Another hallmark of LANA Beer is the chance to enjoy carefully poured beers centered on products from major domestic makers and domestic craft breweries.
This guest beer selection lets you feel close to Kagawa's breweries. First, compare the calm dark character of "Chousei" with the drinkability of "Ajikan IPL," and enjoy them together with the beef tendon stew.
