A special lager for Slider House’s sixth anniversary

Repubrew Mishima Slider House 24taps, a beer pub in Mishima, Shizuoka, is featuring NO LEMON LAGER, a commemorative beer for the venue’s sixth anniversary. The source description also refers to the beer as a “lemongrass lager,” presenting it as a beer designed to evoke the complexity of spiced tea.

The base is a Vienna lager brewed to emphasize malt flavor. A generous amount of lemongrass is then used to add a bright, citrus-like aroma while preserving the malt’s rounded sweetness and depth. Rather than relying on lemon juice and acidity, the recipe focuses on the clean fragrance of lemongrass. Its intended appearance is a deep gold created by the interaction of the lemongrass and malt.

From lemon tea to spice

The beer pours a deep gold and offers a refreshing lemon-like aroma with a subtle floral character. It has a medium body, with malt richness and lemon aromatics combining to suggest lemon tea from the first sip. As the beer develops, spicy nuances emerge, giving it an oriental and exotic character before a fresh, dry finish.

NO LEMON LAGER is described as especially crisp when served very cold. As it warms slightly, the malt richness, spice and lemon-tea impression become more pronounced, offering a changing profile throughout the glass.

Pairing with an ethnic-style burger

The recommended pairing is the Slider House anniversary Ethnic BBQ Cheeseburger, made with jalapeño, cilantro, pineapple and lime mayonnaise. Thai dishes with cilantro, tacos, and fruits with sweet or citrus notes are also suggested matches.

With 24 taps and a food menu suited to adventurous pairings, Repubrew Mishima Slider House offers a natural setting for exploring the layered character of NO LEMON LAGER alongside the anniversary menu.
