Hop BroKokubunji has 13 taps at Gambrinus on deck today. BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS posted its June 26 lineup, and even with the typhoon it's running business as usual with a seriously strong list.
MugiWait, open during a typhoon and pouring 13 beers? That is exactly the kind of update that makes me grab a glass before an umbrella!
Hop BroAnd the headline grabber is two Minoh beers. Saruyama Shikao is a Japanese Rice Brut, and Grapefruit Sour is a fruit sour ale, so both fit nicely as a first drink or with food.
MugiHold on, Japanese Rice Brut sounds like a final boss name! Is it basically rice plus sparkly champagne energy?
Hop BroThat is pretty close. A brut-like finish means the sweetness is trimmed back and the beer lands crisp and light, so Saruyama Shikao stays clean and food-friendly.
MugiOhhh! Then Grapefruit Sour must have bright grapefruit pop. That sounds like it could blast away sticky weather and typhoon gloom in one sip!
Hop BroThen you get North Island's freshly tapped Weizen and Isekadoya's Rush Hop IPA right after. The aroma progression is really clear, so it looks made for fun comparisons.
MugiRush Hop? What even is that! Hop traffic jam is all I can picture, like my brain just built a beer highway at rush hour!
Hop BroMore like peak freshness. Vivid hop aroma is the goal, and the range gets even wider with hazy IPAs, a pilsner, a thiolized Belgian IPA, and Shishimai Porter all on the same list.
MugiWow, from light to rich, 13 beers by mood is a dangerous phrase. I could spend way too long deciding whether I want easygoing or full power!
Hop BroExactly. This is a lineup where start to finish planning actually matters, and I'd happily open with Upopo Pilsner and close with Shishimai Porter.
MugiThen it's settled: meet in Kokubunji. I'll take the Grapefruit Sour, you grab Saruyama Shikao, and we're making that toast happen!

The lineup moves from Minoh Beer into North Island’s Weizen and Isekado’s Lush Hop IPA, then expands into hazy IPA, strong ale, porter, red ale, and classic Czech lager territory. It is a useful snapshot for drinkers who like to move across styles in one visit rather than settle on a single lane.
The two Minoh beers offer an easy opening pair, while the Weizen and the IPA bring different aromatic directions. From there, the darker malt profile of the porter and the fuller body of the red ale give the list more range. For beer fans in Kokubunji, it is the kind of tap list that rewards slow comparison and food pairing.
