Hop BroThe April 26 tap list at Okei Brewery Nippori in Nippori is pretty interesting. With house brews and guest beers together, it’s a lineup you can choose from based on your mood.
MugiWait, house brews and 11 guest beers? That’s a lot! It sounds like you’d get lost choosing by mood, but in a fun way!
Hop BroExactly. Inside, it’s a brewpub setup with more than 10 taps rotated daily. Being able to drink while looking at the tanks is something you only get at a brewery with an on-site brewhouse.
MugiDrinking while looking at the tanks sounds like you’d suddenly feel like a beer scientist! But does 'rotated daily' mean it’s totally different every time?
Hop BroOn this day, the house brews in particular covered a wide range, and the opening Nichinokuri Kölsch was light and crisp. From there, the flavor range opens up a lot, which is the fun part.
MugiWhat’s a cola beer? And light and crisp sounds like it would be perfect for the first glass!
Hop BroFor example, Mango Sour Ale leans into juiciness, and Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge is a 9.0% beer with extra hops, so it’s properly rich. Sourness, saltiness, tropical character - everything has its own personality.
MugiWait, there’s sourness and saltiness too!? Hearing about red-shiso-derived character makes it sound like the beer is having a meeting!
Hop BroOn top of that, Lemon Wheat brings the freshness of Setoda lemon, OKEI IPA has grapefruit-like bitterness, and Helles is a gentle lager with a malty character, so even from the same brewery the differences come through clearly.
MugiWow, tasting side by side at one place is the best! And if the guests include Märzen, IPA, and stout too, this is definitely the kind of day where you can spend forever deciding!
Hop BroSince they also have Y.Market Brewery’s Antrank Amp Fiff and Baird Beer’s Island Country Stout, you can play around by pairing them with food. With fish and chips in hand, this is definitely not a one-beer kind of place.
MugiYeah, I want to go right now! Choosing while looking at the taps in Nippori is basically a beer lover’s dream.
The tap list posted on April 26 by the Nippori brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori lined up that day’s rotating draft beers. The interior has both counter and table seating, and the taps are swapped out daily in a style that keeps more than 10 beers on offer. Another draw is the brewpub atmosphere, where you can have a drink while looking out at the tanks.
That day’s house brews ranged widely, starting with the easy-drinking "Nichinokuri Kölsch," followed by "Mango Sour Ale," "Setagaya Vice," "Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge," "Lemon Wheat," "OKEI IPA," and "Helles." From the gentle malt aroma of a cola beer, to mango juiciness, to the sourness and saltiness derived from red shiso, to a 9.0% hazy with extra hops, to a saison made with Setoda lemon, to grapefruit-like bitterness, and finally to a malt-forward Helles, it was a lineup that made it easy to compare the different expressions of beers from the same brewery.
The guest lineup is also worth noting. It includes Y.Market Brewery’s Märzen "Antrank Amp Fiff," Baird Beer’s "Island Country Stout," Nagahama Roman Beer’s "Fresh Hop IPA," Ushiku Brewery’s "Moon Halo," and even KIRIN’s "Brau Meister," letting you compare lager, IPA, hazy, and stout styles all in one place. Food options include fish and chips, various appetizers, pasta, and focaccia pizza, creating a lineup that can stand up to the beers’ personalities. It’s the kind of place in Nippori where you want to take your time choosing today’s pint.
