Gambrinus in Kokubunji posts July 3 tap list with Wandering Boy
Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji published its July 3 tap list. The lineup centers on Japanese craft beer, from West Coast's Wandering Boy and Kyoto Brewing's Shigoku Tōzen to Baird, Minoh, Repubrew, and more.
Hop BroJust a minute from Kokubunji Station's south exit, Beer Cafe Gambrinus is rolling with a seriously packed 13-tap lineup on July 3.
MugiWhat! Thirteen taps at once? Are the faucets working harder than I am?
Hop BroThe fresh openings are the stars here. West Coast's Wandering Boy is a Double IPA, and Kyoto Brewing's Shigoku Tozen is a saison made with osmanthus.
MugiWait, what is a Double IPA exactly? Two beer mugs fused together like a robot?
Hop BroNot that. It means the beer is bigger in hops and body, so you get more aroma, more bitterness, and more punch.
MugiOooh! Then that osmanthus saison sounds like a beer that suddenly put on fancy perfume.
Hop BroPretty much. Saison is usually dry and lively, so the aroma lifts cleanly and it pairs really well with Japanese-style food.
MugiAnd that Kozaru IPA with summer dishes combo from the article? Hamo tempura fish and chips plus chilled tomato tofu is outrageous.
Hop BroExactly, and the tap list also has Public House Bitter, Ogna Hazy, Campai Hazy, and Pilsner Urquell, so the handmade food-friendly lineup has real range.
MugiAnd there was even a fillute interview from Seibu Railway? That's station-close beer plus bonus gossip.
Hop BroWith upcoming taps like Amakusa Shiranui Weizen, Hojicha Ale, Pineapple IPA, and Star Mine, I already want to pick my first pint.
MugiMy stomach and my throat both lost this battle. I need a full tasting mission in Kokubunji, and now I can't choose between Wandering Boy and Shigoku Tozen!
