Namacha Stand Shiinamachi Branch taps new "Nama-chan's Lager," with a Dortmunder debut
The Brewpub "Namacha Stand Shiinamachi Branch" in Tokyo's Shiinamachi announced a new tap on its March 15 post. The lineup features the flagship brewery's new "Nama-chan's Lager (Dortmunder)" at the center, alongside a wide range of taps from herb-and-spice styles to fruit saison and a guest sour IPA.
Hop BroAt Namacha Stand in Shiinamachi, Nama-chan's Lager is on tap! A new Dortmunder has arrived.
MugiWhat! Just hearing new lager is enough to get me excited! What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt's a classic Dortmunder at 5.0% ABV. You get barley crispness, noble-hop herbal notes, and a restrained bitterness.
MugiWhat! Are noble hops hops from nobility? Do they wear capes?
Hop BroIf you picture that, it's pretty funny. Basically, it's a group of hops known for elegant aromas, with clean grassy and herbal character.
MugiWow! And I heard the tap lineup has six wide-ranging lines. Spice Cookie, Le Lectier Saison, all of that sounds so luxurious!
Hop BroExactly. NAMACHAん Brewing is the core, and the guest is one bottle of NEKOBEER's grape Sour IPA. It really has that brewpub feel.
MugiThe balance between house beers and guests makes me want to compare them one by one...! But what food should I pair with them?
Hop BroThe post recommended pairing with smoked dishes. If you use the lager's crisp finish to cut through the savory smoke, you won't be able to stop at just one bite.
MugiJust imagining it makes me happy... I can see why they described it as a glass you'd want to drink every day!
MugiI've decided, let's toast in Shiinamachi tonight!
Hop BroAgreed. Let's start with the lager and work through the whole tap list. Finishing it off with snacks included would be ideal!
According to the latest tap info released by Namacha Stand Shiinamachi Branch, NAMACHAん Brewing's new "Nama-chan's Lager" is now on tap. The style is listed as Dortmunder, with an ABV of 5.0%.
The post describes this lager as "a classic glass you'll want to drink every day." Its character is said to come from barley-driven crispness, an herbal impression from German noble hops, and a balanced, restrained bitterness. It is designed to be neither too heavy nor too light, making it a versatile choice for pairing with food.
True to its brewpub identity, the shop clearly centers its own brewing while also slotting in one guest beer. This tap lineup shows that personality very clearly.
