Hop BroThe tap update for May 11, 2026 at Okei Brewery Nippori near Nippori Station is pretty hot.
MugiWhoa! They have 12 beers on tap? A 12-tap update sounds like enough to get me completely lost!
Hop BroAnd not only did "Chii Kara" and "Pineapo" sell out, but Chili Sour Lager and Crystal Banana / kristal weizen have newly joined the lineup.
MugiWait, hold on! A chili sour lager? Is it spicy? Sour? Sweet? Bitter?
Hop BroThe fun is in nudging all of those flavors together a little. It feels like a tug-of-war between heat and acidity, tied together by the clean finish of a lager.
MugiOh wow! So is Crystal Banana a glittery banana?
Hop BroThe name is flashy, but in practice it is a crystal weizen-style beer, with a crisp wheat-forward drinking feel at the center.
MugiWhat is this! Having everything from lager to Hazy is such a huge range that my brain can barely keep up!
Hop BroThat is the fun of Okei Brewery Nippori, where gose and kölsch are on the board too, so the more you compare them, the more you discover.
MugiAnd if they even have an all-you-can-drink course, then today has to be a serious session.
Hop BroExactly. By the end, you end up working in Ushitori Brewery and Neko Nihiki too, and before you know it, you're going in for one more.
MugiYeah, my throat is basically waiting for the next tap to open right now.
