Hop BroA Nippori brewpub just dropped a 12-tap update. Okei Brewery Nippori released its lineup as of May 21, 2026, and with 9 house beers plus 3 guest beers, it’s a seriously satisfying spread.
MugiWait, 9 house beers is a lot, right!? And if there are guest beers too, I might be tipsy before I even decide what to order!
Hop BroAnd the place is designed so you can see the brewing equipment through the glass. I like that you can drink at the counter and still feel the atmosphere of, "They're brewing right over there."
MugiWhat, like drinking while touring a brewery? But I don't even know what Helles means. Is it strong?
Hop BroHelles is basically a clean, refreshing lager. The bitterness doesn't run wild, and you can gently enjoy the malt character, so it's a good first beer too.
MugiOhhh! Then Nippori Kölsch sounds easy to drink too! But Kölsch somehow sounds crisp just from the name!
Hop BroThat feeling is pretty accurate. Kölsch is a light, top-fermented style with a gentle aroma and a crisp, smooth finish, so it's great for sipping with snacks at the table.
MugiTop-fermented sounds suddenly complicated! But Shio no Kaze Gose is a name that makes me curious. Is it salty?
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. Gose is all about saltiness and acidity. "Shio no Kaze" sounds like it makes that character easy to understand, and it should really hit the spot on a hot day.
MugiWow, the tasting comparison sounds fun! And guest beer Kizashi Saison sounds like lime and tropical fruit, so it feels like it was calling me!
Hop BroExactly. Karuizawa Q's NZ Dry Hooped Saison plays with aroma while staying on the drier side in the mouthfeel. And with NOROSHI BREWERY's California Common and Baird Brewing's imperial IPA also on the list, the range of personalities is huge.
MugiThat's it, today's decided! It's perfect for a day when you want to drink with food, and if there are meals from a French-trained chef too, this is the kind of place where you end up staying a long time!
Hop BroExactly. With everything from lager to IPA on tap, it's best to start light and finish strong.
MugiAll right, let's toast in Nippori! Start with the Helles, then the Kölsch, and finish with the IPA, and I might be so happy I won't want to go home!
