Okei Brewery Nippori Unveils Latest 12-Tap List: 10 House Brews Plus 2 Guests
Okei Brewery Nippori released its tap list for April 27, 2026. Along with 10 house-brewed beers, the 12-tap lineup includes guest pours of Kaigan Brewery's "kintama IPL" and Kumazawa Shuzo's "Shonan American Style IPA," giving it the broad range you'd expect from a Nippori brewpub.
Hop BroNippori's Okei Brewery Nippori has put out its latest 12-tap lineup. With 10 house brews and 2 guests, it's a pretty playful selection.
MugiWhoa, 12 beers? At that point I'd turn into a delightfully lost wanderer just from looking at the menu!
Hop BroThe core is 10 house brews, and I like that it starts with mellow lager styles like Helles and Nippori Kölsch. They're a perfect match for the first drink.
MugiHuh? Kölsch? That sounds kind of strong already, but it's a mellow style?
Hop BroKölsch is top-fermented, but it's crisp, light, and easy to drink. Here, the gentle malt character comes forward, so instead of pushing aroma, it's the kind of beer that goes down smoothly.
MugiI see! Then I want something that really pops next. OKEI IPA sounds like the hops are lively right from the name!
Hop BroYou can count on that. And there's also Shio no Kaze Gose, so you can build a progression that tightens the palate with tartness and a salty edge.
MugiA beer with salt in it!? Wait, what do you mean by this salty adventure when it's a drink!
Hop BroThat's the fun of gose. And with hazies like Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge in the mix, you can even get to a glass where the hop character spreads out softly.
MugiThe guest beers are interesting too! kintama IPL and Shonan American Style IPA make me want to do a tasting just from the names!
Hop BroExactly. Having Kaigan Brewery and Kumazawa Shuzo in the mix keeps the core of the 10 house-brewed beers intact while adding outside character, which is nice. And the fact that they're also open through Golden Week without a break, plus announcing a booth at the Matsudo Craft Beer Fes, is pretty exciting.
MugiWith this much on tap in Nippori, I'm in full I want to drink mode today! Start with a Helles and finish with a hazy!
