Kokubunji's Beer Cafe Gambrinus Updates 13 Draft Beers from Japan and Abroad on May 16
Beer pub Beer Cafe Gambrinus, near the south exit of Kokubunji Station, has released its tap list for May 16, 2026. The lineup includes 13 beers from Japan and overseas, from Minoh Beer's Session IPA to IPA, Weizen, Porter, and Pilsner Urquell.
Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus near the south exit of Kokubunji Station is seriously hot on draft beers on May 16, 2026. It opens at 15:00, and the lineup makes it perfect for a laid-back Saturday drink.
MugiWait! 13 draft beers? You can choose from that many!? And in Kokubunji, too, it's like a beer theme park!
Hop BroThe big draw this time is the strong IPA lineup. Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA is a session IPA, so it goes down easy. There’s also Outsider’s Lagoon Juicy IPA, so the selection lets you play around with hop aromas.
MugiSession IPA, what's that!? So when you say goes down easy, you mean it's a beer that keeps on flowing?
Hop BroExactly. It keeps the alcohol a bit lower, so it's easier to enjoy several glasses. And Hop Kotan Brewing’s Seiran is a cold IPA, a style with crisp, sharp hop expression.
MugiCold IPA sounds cold just from the name! When you say crisp, is it the kind that makes you go, "Oh" when you take a gulp?
Hop BroThat's the idea. And U.B.P Brewery’s Hazy Celebration is a hazy double IPA, where turbidity and juiciness take center stage. It tends to give off an impression of hop-filled fruitiness.
MugiWow, the name alone sounds rich! But hazy isn't just about looking cloudy, huh? It's fun before you even drink it!
Hop BroThe non-IPA options are strong too. There’s Umekin Beer’s Weizen, Craft Beer Base’s Robust Porter, Great Dane’s Scotch Ale, Iwate Kura Beer’s Raspberry Pink, and even Pilsner Urquell from the Czech Republic, so you can take a detour based on your mood.
MugiWhat, Pilsner Urquell too!? So today is basically "world travel in Kokubunji"!
Hop BroAnd because Ushitora Man Dyna and Keyaki Forward are coming soon, they’ve even set up a reason to keep coming back. As a place to follow the daily rotation of draft beers, it’s seriously strong.
MugiAt this point, just choosing today's beer is exciting. I want to start with Kozaru IPA, and hop brother will go for the hazy one, right?
Hop BroSounds good. Then next time, let’s do a draft-beer crawl in Kokubunji. With a lineup like this, there’s no reason not to go drink.
MugiIt’s decided! I completely feel the same way about wanting a drink right now.
