Hop BroBEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji just posted its July 24 tap list, and it is stacked. Being one minute from the south exit with this lineup feels dangerously convenient.
MugiOne minute from the station and they do that to us? My self-control would get left behind at the ticket gate!
Hop BroAnd the board leans heavily on Japanese craft favorites like Ushitora, Yokohama Beer, and Be Easy. Seeing Hop Sniper IPA, Tohoku 6 Hop, and Hama Kuro together is enough to make me grin.
MugiSession Black IPA is way too much information at once! Is it dark, hoppy, light, all of the above? My brain is holding a meeting!
Hop BroBasically, it is dark but easygoing. Something like Yokohama Beer's Hama Kuro has a roasty edge, but it stays light enough to keep drinking.
MugiOkay, but Koropokkuru says with spruce chips. Did they shave a forest into the beer?!
Hop BroThat is not completely wrong, just very dramatic. In a saison, it adds a forest-like aroma, with a gentle herbal and woody character.
MugiThat sounds fun! And with pilsner, alt, weizen, plus even a pineapple ale, it would be easy to go with friends who all want different things.
Hop BroThat is where GAMBRINUS really works, because it is built for pairing. Fourteen taps, mostly domestic craft, handmade Japanese-leaning food, no cover charge, non-smoking, and free Wi-Fi is a very solid setup.
MugiAnd the Coming Soon lineup has Craftrock's hazy pale ale and Isekadoya's brown ale? They are teasing future me way too hard!
Hop BroIf I were drinking through it, my first-pint game plan would be Shirakaba Beat or Pilsner Urquell to reset the palate, then dive into the IPAs, and finish with the pineapple ale or the saison.
MugiThat route is too good. I am fully in a take me to Kokubunji mood now. Reading this made me want a pint immediately!
