Hop BroOkei Brewery Nippori in Nippori posted its tap list for May 10, 2026. Ten house brews plus two guest beers, that's quite an interesting lineup.
MugiWhoa, 12 taps is a lot! And 10 house brews means it's basically already time for the 'what are we drinking today?' meeting!
Hop BroExactly. I like that the lager side is solid, from TAP1's Helles all the way to TAP6's Nippori Kölsch. They're light and easy to drink, but you can still taste the malt properly.
MugiHelles and Kölsch sound kind of like spells! So what's the difference with lagers, anyway?
Hop BroIn broad terms, they're the classic crisp style. Lagers are fermented at lower temperatures and their signature is a clean, sharp flavor.
MugiGot it! Then TAP5's Shio no Kaze Gose sounds like it's going in a totally different direction? The name makes it sound salty, which is intriguing!
Hop BroExactly. With gose, the key points are acidity and saltiness. On a hot day, it's the kind of beer that really wakes you up, and it also pairs nicely with the playful spirit of something like TAP3's "Pineapo!"
MugiTAP9's Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge also sounds interesting! Hazy is that cloudy, juicy kind, right?
Hop BroRight. Hazy beers are appealing for their haze and juicy character. And since there's also TAP10's amber-style "AmberBalance," this lineup is built so you can move from a brisk beer to something with more body.
MugiAnd they even say there are seats available today, so dropping in sounds amazing! But there's also the warning that bicycles aren't allowed, so I'd want to go on foot and take my time comparing beers!
Hop BroYeah, having a brewpub rooted in Nippori's streets and guest beers from Ushi Tora Brewery and Ise Kadoya Brewery too is strong. On a day like this, I'd want to start with Helles and finish with Neko Nihiki.
MugiI already want to drink! Beer tasting in Nippori, I want to make plans right now!
