Nara Brewing’s “SPIRAL” Arrives at Taru Taru, Along with Three Cans and a Draft Micro Porter
Guest beers from Nara Brewing are being featured at the beer pub Taru Taru in Takamatsu’s Kawaramachi district. Alongside the American Belgo-style “SPIRAL,” three canned beers are on sale, and a gold-medal-winning micro porter is planned to be served on draft at a later date.
Hop BroGuest beers from Nara Brewing have arrived at Taru Taru in Takamatsu’s Kawaramachi. First up, SPIRAL takes center stage as an American Belgo-style ale.
MugiWait, what is American Belgo? Is it American or Belgian? The name alone is already confusing me!
Hop BroBasically, it’s got the hop character of an American beer layered with a Belgian-style vibe. What’s interesting about SPIRAL is the ripe melon aroma topped with tropical fruit and citrus.
MugiWow! Melon and citrus sounds like the aroma would spread like a produce section every time you take a sip!
Hop BroWhat’s more, it’s fun because the aroma changes as the temperature rises. When it’s cold, it’s crisp; as it warms a bit, you can feel the moment the aroma opens up, so it’s the kind of beer that rewards you the slower you drink it.
MugiWhat, a beer that transforms with temperature!? So I have to adjust my drinking speed too?
Hop BroWhat’s nice this time is that there are three canned beers too. Besides SPIRAL, there’s the fruit sour ale and the sake yeast ale, so it feels like a three-beer lineup of unique personalities.
MugiWait, sake yeast ale!? You mean sake-like yeast? That’s way too much information already, my brain is foaming!
Hop BroExactly, that playful spirit is very Nara Brewing. They also won two gold medals at the recent World Beer Cup 2026, and it’s exciting that the gold-medal micro porter is planned to be served on draft later.
MugiWow, then I have to go! I want to compare the cans first, and if the timing works out, chase down a draft pour too!
Hop BroA relaxed place like Taru Taru is exactly where you want to take your time and enjoy guest beers like this. I’m already in the mood to start with SPIRAL.
MugiYeah, me too! It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to follow Nara Brewing one beer at a time, and now I just want to toast right away!
At the beer pub Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, Nara Brewing beers are now on the lineup.
