NOMCRAFT Brewing 15-Tap Takeover Announced at Citraba Nakano, Featuring Collab Beer Emulator
Citraba Nakano in Tokyo has announced a two-day, 15-tap takeover by NOMCRAFT Brewing on June 20 and 21. The featured beer is Emulator, a collaboration brewed with Citraba, making this a notable stop for craft beer fans in Nakano.
Hop BroNakano has a 15-tap takeover coming up. On June 20 and 21, Citraba Nakano is pouring a full NOMCRAFT BREWING lineup for side-by-side drinking.
MugiWait, wall-to-wall NOMCRAFT? That sounds like the taps stopped being taps and became a beer theme park!
Hop BroThe headliner is the collab beer Emulator, brewed together by Citraba and NOMCRAFT, so the whole event has a real centerpiece.
MugiOkay, but IPL style? What is that? It sounds like IPA tried to enter witness protection.
Hop BroIt means India Pale Lager. You get IPA-like hop aroma, but it ferments with lager yeast, so the finish is cleaner and crisper.
MugiOhhh, so it's bright but clean. That is way easier than the secret-agent acronym version!
Hop BroAnd Emulator reportedly uses Kiyomi orange peel, so you get a soft citrus lift on top of that crisp, easy-drinking body.
MugiThat sounds dangerous in the best way. Perfect with Citraba chicken in a calm little beer pub? I would accidentally stay for hours.
Hop BroExactly, and there's also people behind the beer. NOMCRAFT's Gareth and Chanrisa from BEER BOMB are expected to be there, so it feels more personal than a standard tap list.
MugiThen it's settled: first pour, Emulator. After that I want the full 15-tap journey, and I am very ready to make Nakano my weekend plan.
Hop BroSame here. Drinking through Nakano with Emulator as the opener sounds like the kind of plan where the second round orders itself.
Citraba Nakano, a craft beer pub in Tokyo's Nakano district, has announced a 15-tap takeover by NOMCRAFT Brewing on June 20 and 21. The centerpiece is Emulator, the collaboration beer brewed by Citraba and NOMCRAFT. The post also mentions Gareth from NOMCRAFT and Chanrisa from BEER BOMB, giving the event a clearly collaborative feel.
The venue itself is set a little away from the station bustle and is described by the operator as a compact, relaxed space that works well for dinners with friends or dates. Alongside craft beer, Citraba Nakano also offers craft lemon sour and its signature chicken, so it is an easy place to visit whether the focus is drinking or eating.
What makes this takeover attractive is the chance to start with Emulator and then work through a broad NOMCRAFT lineup across 15 taps. Tap takeovers bring a brewery's character directly into the bar, and Citraba Nakano adds the bonus of food pairing and a comfortable setting. For anyone looking for a weekend beer stop in Nakano, this is a clear one to note.
