Okei Brewery Nippori Updates 12 Taps, Featuring Shima Brewing, Noroshi, and Baird
The brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori in Nippori released its tap list for May 28, 2026. Alongside its house staples, beers from Shima Brewing, Noroshi Brewing, and Baird Brewing are also on the board, making for a lineup with a wide range of flavors.
Hop BroOkei Brewery Nippori's 12-tap update is pretty aggressive. With house beers and guests mixed in, today's lineup makes for a fun tasting session.
MugiWait, they have 12 beers at once? That's the kind of place where choosing is fun, but you end up happily lost.
Hop BroEven just the house beers are interesting, with everything from Helles to IPA. They have lager, Kölsch, and gose too, so the lineup really lets you go with whatever you feel like that day.
MugiOhh, but what is gose? The name itself feels salty, or kind of ocean-like, which is a little mysterious!
Hop BroNice catch. It's known for a salty sourness, and Okei's "Shio no Kaze Gose" is the kind of beer that's easy to pair with food. The tartness and saltiness make the finish feel crisp.
MugiI get it! Then something light like Nippori Kölsch sounds perfect as a first beer. I like easy-drinking ones.
Hop BroThe guests are solid too, and it's cool that a tea-leaf saison is coming from Shima Brewery. Noroshi Brewing's California Common and Baird's Imperial IPA each go in a different direction, which makes it interesting.
MugiThat's luxurious! Does Karigane Tea Saison actually smell like tea? It's sneaky, how beer can suddenly have a Japanese vibe.
Hop BroExactly, it has that feeling of saison's lightness with tea-leaf nuances on top. And the shop notice says Noroshi California Common may be ending soon, so if you want it, sooner is better.
MugiWhoa, then I need to hurry! I want to do a tasting at Okei Brewery Nippori while toasting by public transit.
Hop BroToday is definitely a day where you can go with lager or IPA depending on your mood. If we have a drink in Nippori, both of us will probably want to see the next tap too.
