BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji updates its tap list and Okinawa fair
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji, Tokyo, posted its August 6 update with an Okinawa fair running through the 15th. The pub is serving Orion draft beer and a lineup that includes fresh taps from Flora Fermentation and T.Y. Harbor.
Hop BroToday's Beer Cafe Gambrinus update for August 6 is stacked. They're open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., and the Okinawa Fair runs through the 15th.
MugiWhat! Nine Okinawan dishes too? So it's not just beer, it's a full tropical ambush. Sea grapes with draft beer sounds unfair!
Hop BroAnd today's fresh tappings are serious: Flora Fermentation's Loki [Session IPA] and T.Y. Harbor's Imperial Stout.
MugiHold on, Session IPA? What is that, a beer for marathon meetings?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. A Session IPA keeps the hop aroma but lowers the alcohol, so it's easier to enjoy over a few rounds.
MugiOhh! So Loki is big aroma, light body. That sounds perfect before or after Okinawa soba!
Hop BroExactly. Meanwhile the Imperial Stout from T.Y. Harbor is rich with roasted malt and almost dessert-like. That's the dark beer partner for sata andagi.
MugiA beer that's basically dessert? My stomach just started applying for a second shift!
Hop BroThe continuing taps are loaded too: Mata Ashita Hazy IPA, 808ESB, Paradox as a West Coast IPA, and Fonio Beer as a Dortmunder. The range is absurd.
MugiDortmunder too!? This is a technical term storm and my brain is turning into foam!
Hop BroBasically, a Dortmunder is a best-of-both-worlds lager with malt flavor and a clean finish. And with Nomcraft's Wonder: Mosaic and Kunitachi Brewery's 1926 coming soon, I already want my first pint.
MugiThat's it, I'm done. Let's start with Orion on draft, attack the goya champuru, and work our way all the way to stout!
