Hop BroKokubunji's Beer Cafe Gambrinus updated its 12 domestic and imported draft beers on April 3, 2026. With IPAs and Czech classics on the board, the tap list alone feels like enough to start drinking.
MugiWait, so it's a 12-tap lineup!? That's the kind of thing that's exciting and hard to choose from at the same time.
Hop BroExactly. There are distinctive beers like Rockin' Osaru IPA and Brewer's Nightmare Rye IPA, plus Yokohama Bay Brewing's Flatland and Nomcraft's Mighty Dragon.
MugiRye IPA, huh! Does that mean beer with the aroma of rye? Now I'm suddenly getting bread vibes!
Hop BroPretty much. Rye tends to bring out a spicy finish, so compared with a regular IPA, it has a little more character while still finishing crisp.
MugiOhhh! Then if you compare it with a fruit beer like Heisei Banana, the differences would be super obvious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. With fruit beers and IPAs, plus Coffee Stout and Bernard Dark 12°, you can compare aroma intensity and mouthfeel all at once.
MugiWhoa, there's even a dark lager!? From light to black, the fridge sounds like a beer expo!
Hop BroAnd the post also mentions Czech-imported beer, with Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus "12° [Pilsner]" scheduled for delivery on April 7 also getting attention.
MugiHearing that, I'm done for - now I want the sweet-and-savory new onion yukhoe too, so today is clearly a beer-tasting course straight through.
Hop BroThat's settled then. If you can enjoy the pairing of food and draft beer, you'll want to spend a slow afternoon bar-hopping in Kokubunji.
MugiYeah, just one drink first - or maybe two? I can't wait to compare beers in Kokubunji!
