Okei Brewery Nippori Adds a White Grape Saison to Its 12-Tap Lineup Updated on April 3
The brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori in Higashi-Nippori, Tokyo, updated its tap list on April 3. In addition to house-brewed kölsch, IPA, and gose, guest beers from ISEKADOYA BREWERY, Ushitora Brewery, and CHORYO Craft Beer are also on tap.
Hop BroTokyo's Okei Brewery Nippori updated its tap list on April 3. With nine house brews and three guest beers, today's lineup is especially fun to compare.
MugiWhat, 12 taps!? That many on tap would already have me lost just looking at the menu!
Hop BroAnd the house brews are strong too. Nippori Kölsch, Chiikara, Pineapo!, Sweet and Sour Bitter, Salt-Wind Gose, Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, Don★Star, OKEI IPA, and AmberBalance are all there.
MugiWait, those names are way too free-form! I can't even tell whether Pineapo! is a beer or just an onomatopoeia!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. For example, Salt-Wind Gose is all about the balance of tartness and saltiness, and Nippori Kölsch is crisp and easy to drink. It spans lager, sour styles, hazy beers, and IPA, so you can really see the shop's character.
MugiHmm, so what exactly is a gose? It suddenly sounds like something out of chemistry...
Hop BroGose is a style defined by salt and lactic-acid-derived tartness. Add the fun of comparing beers, and the flavor landscape keeps changing even within the same bar. The fact that it pairs well with food is another strength.
MugiThe guest beers are luxurious too! If there's flesh pressed beyond the pacific from ISEKADOYA and even CHORYO's WEST COAST IPA, what was supposed to be a quick stop could turn into a serious drinking session!
Hop BroThe one to watch in particular is the white grape saison. It's Ushitora Brewery's "Kusaka-san's White Grape Saison," and it touts the rich aroma of Koshu white grapes. It should appeal not just to beer fans, but also to people who like wine-like aromas.
MugiWow, just hearing that makes me hungry! If there's even a course that lets you linger in Nippori, then tonight is definitely more than just one drink.
Hop BroExactly. They also offer a no-time-limit course on weekdays after 6 p.m., and the nice thing is that you can follow both house brews and guest beers at a station-close spot. This is definitely a head to Nippori tonight kind of night.
MugiIt's settled! Just the phrase a beer-comparison night is exciting, and with a lineup like this, it's guaranteed to be a great time.
