Okei Brewery Nippori Updates 12 Taps, with House Brews and Guest Beers Side by Side
Okei Brewery Nippori has released its tap list as of May 31, 2026. In addition to its house-brewed staples, guest beers from SHIMA Brewery, NOMCRAFT Brewing, and Baird Brewing are also on the lineup, making for a selection that lets you enjoy a wide range of beers in Nippori.
Hop BroA Nippori brewpub updating 12 taps is enough to get me excited. Okei Brewery Nippori is centering on house brews and mixing in guests, making for a lineup that is fun to compare.
MugiWhat, all 12 at once? Just seeing the menu makes it hard to know where to start!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. With Helles, Kölsch, Gose, IPA, and Saison all lined up, the range of styles is really broad. From light, easygoing beers to solidly bitter ones, you can choose based on your mood.
MugiHelles and Kölsch? I can't picture what those are just from the names! They feel like those mysterious terms you always hear!
Hop BroSimply put, Helles is a clean, easy-drinking lager-leaning beer, and Kölsch is even lighter and crisper. In other words, they're the gateway to gulpable beers.
MugiSo something like "Shio no Kaze Gose" or "OKEI IPA" is a different face, then? The range of flavors sounds huge!
Hop BroExactly. Gose brings saltiness and acidity, while IPA puts hop bitterness and aroma front and center. And the big highlight this time is that there are three guest beers too.
MugiWait, there are guests too!? SHIMA Brewery's "Karigane Tea Saison" already sounds interesting just from the name! What even is a tea saison?
Hop BroIt layers the aroma and astringency of tea leaves onto a Saison, so it's refreshing but distinctive. Add NOMCRAFT's pale ale and Baird's imperial IPA, and it's basically a comparison-drinking paradise.
MugiWow, and being able to try house brews and guests all at once in Nippori feels like a pretty good deal.
Hop BroThe location is 5-37-4 Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, and there's a note that you can't drink if you arrive by bicycle, so be careful. This really is the kind of place where you enjoy it slowly with food.
MugiYeah, just thinking about it makes my throat want a drink! One drink in Nippori, no, it's the kind of place that makes you want several!
Hop BroSeeing a tap list like this lets you imagine the atmosphere of the place too. So tonight, let's toast while having a meeting about what to drink first.
