Hop BroThe BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS just put out today’s tap list, and it’s only a one-minute walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station.
MugiWhat? That close to the station!? And 12 beers on tap today means way too many choices right off the bat!
Hop BroAnd the first one is Shiga Kogen Beer DPA, right? It has that nice toasted character and clean hop outline you’d want as a first pint.
MugiDPA? What is that, some kind of spell? Is a pale ale really that different?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s the kind that shows malt flavor while still being easy to drink. The shop also has Iwate Kura’s Weizen, so it’s nice that you can enjoy the contrast with its soft wheat-driven texture.
MugiWhoa. But what is grape-skin contact anyway? Is it like grape skins shaking hands with beer!?
Hop BroThat’s not too far off in spirit. Fermentary’s Grapy is a saison layered with grape-skin nuances, so it delivers both fruitiness and dryness at the same time.
MugiWow, the words are getting complicated! But if the comparison axis is clear, it sounds fun to work through them one by one!
Hop BroExactly. Today they’ve got everything from IPA to porter, so it’s a lineup that lets you travel through hop bitterness, aroma, and roasted character in one night.
MugiThat’s the best! And with handmade dishes by a Japanese cuisine chef, I’m definitely not going to be able to stop drinking!
Hop BroThe shop opens at 17:00 and runs until 25:00. It’s no-cover, fully non-smoking, and has Wi-Fi too. Tonight in Kokubunji, it feels like the kind of place where you’d want to linger over draft beer.
MugiYeah, I want to go! Let’s toast with draft beer tonight and work our way through DPA and everything else in order!
