Hop BroAt the brewpub in Shiinamachi, Namacha Stand Shiinamachi Branch has an interesting tap list going on. Five house brews plus one guest beer make it a pretty fun setup for tasting side by side.
MugiWhoa, five house brews? That is a lot! Just choosing one sounds like it would take forever!
Hop BroThat is the good part. There is the citrusy Namachan's Grapefruit Sour IPA, the soft-wheat Weizen Gokugoku Ver., and even the tea-aroma-forward Hojicha Ale.
MugiWait, what! So a Sour IPA is like, sour and bitter? Won't that clash in your mouth?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it is a style where you can enjoy both acidity and hop aroma. The overlap of citrus character and tartness tends to make it feel really refreshing.
MugiHuh! Then the name Gokugoku Ver. sounds interesting too, and it sounds super drinkable!
Hop BroExactly. Weizen tends to bring out the softness from wheat, and the Rauchbier's smoky aroma is its signature. Pair that with smoked snacks, and it is like the whole place gets wrapped in smoke.
MugiWait, beer can have smoky aroma? That is the kind of thing where you cannot tell whether it is a drink or food anymore!
Hop BroAnd that is where NEKOBEER's CLEARNEKOLIQUID Hyper comes in, which is another nice touch. As a TDH West Coast IPA, it has a solid backbone of bitterness and hop aroma, and it contrasts beautifully with the house-brewed lineup.
MugiTDH was, like, extra-hop-loaded or something, right? The name alone makes it sound intense!
Hop BroThat is basically the right idea. The appeal of this place is its straightforward, no-frills honesty, and it is great whether you just want one beer or want to compare a bunch.
MugiThen we really have to chase the character of each keg in Shiinamachi! Add some smoked snacks, and now I really want to drink properly tonight!
Hop BroExactly. While exploring the kegs in Shiinamachi, I want to find the beer that fits today’s mood. Now, do I start with the Sour IPA, or go in hard with the Rauchbier?
MugiIf you are torn, then just do both, with a side-by-side tasting! This is what being a beer fan is for on days like this!

This tap list featured a strong lineup from NAMACHA Brewing. It included "Namachan's Grapefruit Sour IPA," which evokes a citrusy character; "Namachan's Weizen Gokugoku Ver.," which brings out the soft texture of wheat; "Namachan's Hojicha Ale," with its intriguing Japanese tea aroma; "Hobo Haji Beer," which lets you enjoy a sharp hop finish; and "Namachan's Rauch," whose signature is its smoky aroma.
The guest keg was NEKOBEER's "CLEARNEKOLIQUID Hyper." It promises the solid bitterness and hop aroma typical of a TDH West Coast IPA, offering a beer that you can enjoy in a direction distinct from the five house-brewed specialties.
