Beers similar to Suntory Nama Beer

Pale Lager·Japan·5% ABV·One of 341 Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Suntory Nama Beer's malty and toasty character. Suntory Nama Beer came out in 2023 as the brand's everyday lager and has since added bottles and kegs for bars. Besides malt and hops it contains corn and sugar, and the launch recipe used a triple decoction mash. With the December 2025 renewal Suntory reworked the grain bill and mash conditions to bring out more toasted character. Toasty, cereal-sweet malt with a faint note of corn leads to a brisk, refreshing swallow and a clean, quick finish.
