Beer Cafe Gambrinus updates its draft lineup on May 27, from domestic IPAs to Pilsner Urquell
Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji has unveiled its draft lineup for May 27. Ranging widely from Yokohama Bay Brewing's IPA to fruit beers, stouts, hazies, and lagers, it's a lineup that also pairs well with new dishes made with summer vegetables.
Hop BroToday, the May 27 draft update at Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji is really hot. Led by Yokohama Bay Brewing's Steel Soul Fixie IPA, it's a lineup with a pretty wide range.
MugiWhoa! From IPA to Urquell? That's way too broad, isn't it? Being able to choose that much at one place feels almost unfair!
Hop BroExactly, and it's not just that there are a lot of them. There's a real map of flavors here. They've got IPA, Hazy IPA, fruit beer, stout, saison, weizen, and lager, so it's easy to choose based on your mood.
MugiWhat's a hazy, anyway? I get that it's kind of cloudy, but is Hazy IPA really that different?
Hop BroBasically, it's the kind you enjoy for its haze and hop aroma. Here, you can also go for an aroma-first pint like DD4D's Buddha's Hands or Hiroshima Lemon Skatto Session IPA.
MugiOhhh! So even if you're feeling like something refreshing, you're covered. And if they've got a solid fruit-beer selection, I could even bring friends who usually lean away from beer!
Hop BroExactly. There are taps like Oguna's Yama-Sohop, Hopkotan Brewing's Sōma Orange, and Fermentaly's Grapey where you can play with fruitiness and character, so it's a fun lineup for side-by-side tasting.
MugiAnd the food is things like fried summer vegetables in marinade, chilled tofu with tomato, and fried okra, so the snacks are like a summer festival! I love when the beer has that seasonal feel alongside it.
Hop BroThat's the strong point. It's on the 6th floor in the south-exit area of Kokubunji Station, and you can take your time there from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m., so it's perfect for enjoying beer with a meal.
MugiI'm also curious about the Coming Soon carefully simmered Pils, and if they even have Pilsner Urquell, classic-style fans are going to be grinning too!
Hop BroYeah, if you're on the Chuo Line and want to eat well while you drink, this is a pretty strong option. Today is definitely one of those places where just one drink is dangerous. If you go, you'll probably end up saying, one more.
