Hop BroNOMCRAFT BREWING's Mighty Dragon has arrived at Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji.
MugiWhoa, a name like Mighty Dragon already sounds strong! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroAccording to NOMCRAFT's description, it's a Hazy IPA, and it placed sixth in the Hazy IPA category at JAPAN BREWERS CUP 2026.
MugiHuh~ So what makes it hazy? Is it some kind of cloudy spell?
Hop BroBasically, it has a cloudy appearance and the hop aroma comes forward more easily. This one brings out passion fruit aroma, and it is designed with a balance of sweetness and bitterness in mind.
MugiWow, just hearing fruity aroma makes me want to drink it! And if it's not too bitter, even better!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: Gambrinus has 14 taps and mainly serves domestic craft beer, while also pairing well with handmade dishes from Japanese cuisine chef Icchi.
MugiSeriously? A beer place that's also strong on handmade Japanese dishes? That's almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd it's only a one-minute walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, plus it's completely non-smoking, no cover charge, and has Free Wi-Fi, so it's easy to drop in casually.
MugiStopping by after work for a drink with a meal sounds too good! This is basically a sign to go tonight!
