Totopia’s “Flamephobia” tapped at NAMACHA’n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro, final day of 4th anniversary
In a March 22, 2026 post from NAMACHA’n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro, a new tap from Aichi’s Totopia Brewery was announced. The beer introduced was the DDH Hazy DIPA “Flamephobia.” The same day also included notice of the final day of the 4th anniversary event, and the combination with a giveaway for limited-edition merchandise drew attention.
Hop BroToday at NAMACHA’n Stand in Kita-Ikebukuro, Totopia Brewery’s Flamephobia tap arrived. And it’s landing on the final day of the 4th anniversary event, so it’s a pretty festive topic.
MugiWhoa, Flamephobia already sounds intense! Just the name “fire fear” is enough to raise my heart rate before I even drink it!?
Hop BroWhat’s inside is even stronger: a DDH Hazy DIPA. It’s 8.5% ABV, with a solid, rich body but also a hop aroma that really comes through.
MugiDDH, what is that, a spell? And Hazy DIPA too, it feels like I’m being lured into the hazy abyss!
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hopping, a method where hops are added generously even after fermentation to bring out more aroma. That makes the layers of aroma thicker, so it’s fun even before you drink it.
MugiI see, that’s why the article called it deep haze! It already looks like juice, which is almost unfairly delicious-looking!
Hop BroExactly. And this beer’s selling point is its dense body, with the freshness of white grape layered over the soft sweet aroma of white peach. Then there’s a dank side to it too, so it doesn’t end with just sweetness.
MugiWhite grape, white peach, and dank? That’s a lot of information! Not being juicy and nothing else makes it sound so sophisticated and cool!
Hop BroThat’s one of Totopia Brewery’s strengths: they’re good at building dimensional beers. In a place like NAMACHA’n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro, where people follow guest keg changes, it’s fun to come across a beer like this.
MugiAnd there’s even a speed-lottery event on the final day of the 4th anniversary, so the reasons to drink are piling up! If they open at 4 p.m., I’m basically already planning to go today!
