MugiWhoa! That’s the place near the station, right? One minute on foot from the south exit and with this lineup, it’s the kind of place that pulls you in after work!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it’s a 14-tap lineup centered on domestic breweries, with a huge range from IPA to stout to hard seltzer.
Mugi"Nice Bitter" sounds pretty intense... does bitter mean super bitter?
Hop BroHere, bitter doesn’t just mean being bitter. It’s about balance, too. For example, they fine-tune how the bitterness comes across through IBU design.
MugiWhat! IBU suddenly feels like a science class! These abbreviations are too strong; my brain is getting hop-soaked!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a rough measure of bitterness. So if you line it up with Shiga Kogen Helles!? and 69IPA and Socarion, it becomes a lineup that’s easy to compare side by side.
MugiOhhh! So you can start with a light lager, finish with stout, and take an ice cream strawberry seltzer break in the middle!
Hop BroExactly. And with no cover charge, 17:00-25:00, plus the Coming Soon section, it’s exciting that you can track the changes through the latter half of the week.
MugiIt’s settled! Tonight let’s have a first-drink showdown at Gambrinus; I’m starting with Nice Bitter!

In addition, multiple hop-forward labels are on the board, including Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Shiga Kogen Helles!?", Nomcraft’s "Armadillo Outlaw," Repubrew’s "69IPA," and Kyoto Brewing’s "Socarion." On the other hand, curveballs such as Daisen G Beer’s "Stout" and Shimanami Brewery’s "Shimanami Cat Strawberry Ice Cream (Hard Seltzer)" are also included, making it easy to build a tasting lineup.
The day’s taps also include lager styles, including Pilsner Urquell, creating a lineup that moves between bitterness, aroma, roastiness, and lightness. Gambrinus is known as a beer pub where it’s easy to focus on craft beer, located one minute on foot from the south exit of Kokubunji Station and with no cover charge. Another strength is that it works well for either a quick drink at the counter or a longer session at a table.
In addition, the "Coming Soon!" section announces Gambrinus’s "12° (scheduled for delivery on 3/17)," Bernard’s "Dark 12° (scheduled for delivery on 3/24)," as well as incoming beers from Number Nine, Black Tide, and Flora Fermentation.
