Okei Brewery Nippori posts a 12-tap lineup with house beers and guest pours
Okei Brewery Nippori, the brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa, published its June 23 tap list. House beers such as Arakawa Hazy Underbridge, HELLES, OKEI IPA, and Nippori Kölsch are joined by guest pours from Brew Classic Beer, Gaha Beer, and Nara Brewing Co.
Hop BroI want to talk about the June 23 tap update from Okei Brewery Nippori today. It’s 12 taps, mostly house-made, and the spread is seriously solid.
MugiWait, Okei Brewery Nippori is the kind of brewpub where you wander in and suddenly face a lineup like that?
Hop BroExactly. Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge on TAP1 feels like the headline pour, with juicy hop aroma leading the charge.
MugiHold on, what is HAZY? The name already sounds like fog rolling under a bridge!
Hop BroIt usually means a slightly cloudy beer with a soft mouthfeel and tropical hop aroma. In plain terms, it’s aromatic and pillowy while still easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! So HELLES and Nippori Kolsch are the easygoing side of the lineup?
Hop BroThat’s it. HELLES is a clean lager, Nippori Kolsch is light and elegant, and then OKEI IPA lets you swing back to bigger hop character.
MugiAnd then names like Gorilla Cola, Don Pota, and Megante? Those names go hard. I’d laugh at the tap board before I even order.
Hop BroAnd it doesn’t stop there. With Sae River from Brew Classic Beer, Shall Wheat Dance from Gaha Beer, and ENNUI from Nara Brewing Co., the guest brewery lineup is strong too.
MugiSo it’s not just local house beer, it’s outside voices too? That’s a full tasting flight situation!
Hop BroYep. There are already a few reservations, but seats are still available, and Sae River is almost gone. Add the all-you-can-drink option and it screams go sooner than later.
MugiThen it’s settled. HELLES first, Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge next, OKEI IPA after that... this is a traffic jam of cravings, and both of us need to get to Nippori.
Okei Brewery Nippori, the brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa, posted its tap list for Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The board leans heavily on house beers, with 12 taps covering lager-leaning styles, hop-forward options, and a few guest pours for good measure.

The house lineup covers a broad range: HELLES and Nippori Kölsch offer cleaner, more restrained drinking, while Arakawa Hazy Underbridge and OKEI IPA bring a more aromatic, fuller profile. The playful names, including Gorilla Cola, Don★Pota, and Megante, give the board a distinctly Okei character, and the repeated use of local references underlines the brewpub's roots in the neighborhood.
Guest pours from Brew Classic Beer, Gaha Beer, and Nara Brewing Co. add another layer of variety. The post also says reservations were starting to come in, but seats were still available, and that Sairiver was close to selling out. With an all-you-can-drink course also mentioned, the venue works both as a place to linger over a single beer and as a spot for a proper tasting session.
