At BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS near the south exit of Kokubunji Station, Outsider's Sasquatch IPA has appeared as today's draft beer. Bernard Dark 12°, imported directly from the Czech Republic, is also being introduced, and in the 14-tap interior, you can enjoy a wide range of craft beer styles.
Hop BroAt BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS just outside Kokubunji Station's south exit, Outsider's Sasquatch IPA has been tapped. And with 14 taps on hand, today's a pretty good day for choosing beers, you know.
MugiWow! You can drink that much just a 1-minute walk from the station? If I stopped by after work, I feel like I'd never make it home!
Hop BroWhat's more, this place has been a craft beer cafe since 2007, and the food is handmade too. Pairing beer with Icchy's Japanese-style small plates is one of the shop's strengths.
MugiWhoa, and the star of the day is Sasquatch IPA? That name alone sounds strong! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an American IPA, the kind that lets you really enjoy hop aroma and bitterness. Rather than chugging it, take in the aroma and then sip it, and you'll get that "ah, this is it" feeling.
MugiSniffing hops? What do you mean by that? Is this some kind of hop-sniffing ritual? That sounds a little scary, but is that normal in the beer world?
Hop BroIt's not scary at all, just enjoying it with your nose. By the way, the Czech-import Bernard Dark 12° is also being introduced, and that's a dark lager with toasty depth and a clean finish.
MugiDark and clean? Isn't that kind of contradictory? But it does seem like it would go well with dishes like stir-fried turnip and pork, and now my stomach is reacting!
Hop BroExactly, it works well with savory dishes. And the taps range from Hazy IPA to stout, so it's fun that you can choose based on your mood, from Mighty Dragon and Snow Monkey IPA all the way to Coffee Stout.
MugiWhoa, too many options! But today I'm in the mood to drink Sasquatch IPA first, then try the Dark 12°, and then maybe go for one more!
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, is a craft beer cafe founded in December 2007. Today, you can enjoy 14 taps of craft beer alongside handmade dishes by Japanese chef Icchy. The convenience of being Non Smoking, No Charge, and Free Wi-Fi also makes it an easy place to drop in on a regular basis.
The star of the day is the tapping of Outsider / Sasquatch [American IPA]. The shop is also introducing imported Czech beer, with Bernard / Dark 12° [Dark Lager] presented as the first release. A dark lager that has a toasty aroma yet drinks cleanly seems like a great match for hearty dishes such as the stir-fried turnip and pork with oyster sauce featured in the photos.
The draft lineup is broad as well. Nomcraft / Mighty Dragon [Hazy IPA], Yokohama Bay Brewing / Flatland [Extra Pale Ale], Shiga Kogen Beer / Snow Monkey IPA, Hino Brewing / Heisei Banana [Fruit Weizen], and Novoru Brewing / Musubu [Belgian Blonde] cover everything from hop-forward IPAs to light ales and fruit-driven weizens. In addition, Pilsner Urquell, Gambrinus / 12° [Pilsner] scheduled for delivery on April 7, Outsider / Cherry Boy [Golden Ale], Baird Beer / Brewer's Nightmare Rye IPA, Craft Beer Base / English IPA, Craft Bank / Coffee Stout, and Minoh Beer / Rockin' Osaru IPA [Double IPA] are also on the list, giving you a lineup you can choose from depending on your mood. It's a selection suited to days when you want to slowly enjoy a drink with your meal in Kokubunji.
