Grandline Brewing begins serving the nacol collaboration beer 'nacol Beer'
Grandline Brewing, based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, began serving 'nacol Beer,' a limited collaboration with the reservation-only restaurant nacol, on July 17. The beer was developed as a food-pairing beer designed to match cured ham and seasonal Italian dishes.
Hop BroI’ve got a fun one today. Grandline Brewing in Yokosuka started serving a limited collaboration beer with the restaurant nacol on July 17.
MugiWhat?! With nacol, the place people wait years to book? That’s an instant hype combo if I’ve ever heard one!
Hop BroIt’s called nacol Beer. The style is Cold Session IPA, and at 5.0% ABV it’s built to sit nicely alongside food.
MugiHold on, Cold Session IPA already sounds like three lessons in one. Is it cold? Is it light? Am I being quizzed?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it keeps that IPA-like hop character without getting too heavy, so it drinks easily. Plus it’s made with a lager yeast finish, which gives it a dry, crisp feel.
MugiAn IPA with lager yeast? That’s a traffic jam of titles! So what does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIt’s designed as a food pairing beer that lifts the saltiness and rich fat of prosciutto, then leaves a soft hop finish in the background.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not trying to steal the spotlight, it’s more like a scene-stealing support act. That’s a smart kind of tasty!
Hop BroExactly. Grandline Brewing talks about ‘SUPERMERGE - amazing fusion,’ and this collab really turns that into a meaningful pairing idea with a restaurant.
MugiAnd if you can order it with seasonal Italian dishes at nacol in Asakusa, that’s basically a dream team pairing. I can already hear the prosciutto bragging!
Hop BroIt’s a limited release too, so if you want to really enjoy how beer and food play together, this is the moment to drink it.
MugiThen it’s settled! I want to chase that next perfect bite, and you, Hop Bro, should start drinking before the lecture gets longer!
Grandline Brewing, based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, has begun serving nacol Beer, a limited collaboration with the reservation-only restaurant nacol, on July 17. nacol is an Italian restaurant in Asakusa, Tokyo, and this release was designed specifically to pair with its cured ham and seasonal dishes.
Grandline Brewing describes its approach as SUPERMERGE, a concept centered on combining different worlds and ideas. The brewery positions itself as a communication-driven brewery that connects local and global perspectives, and this project fits that direction well. Developed and brewed in collaboration with nacol, the beer was released as a Cold Session IPA with 5.0% ABV.
The beer is brewed with lager yeast for a dry, light finish. According to the brewery, it lifts the sweetness and richness of the ham while leaving a clean hoppy aftertaste. Rather than standing out on its own, the beer is meant to support the flow of the meal and create a smooth pairing experience. At nacol, customers can order the beer as part of the pairing lineup, making it a limited release that highlights beer as a true food companion.
