Okei Brewery Nippori unveils April 27 tap list: 10 house beers and 2 guest beers
The brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori in Nippori has released its tap list for April 27. In addition to 10 house-brewed beers, two guest beers from Kaigan Brewery and Shonan Beer are on the lineup, along with an all-you-can-drink course and a water eggplant salad.
Hop BroWhat’s interesting is the full 12-tap lineup in Nippori. Okei Brewery Nippori posted its tap list for April 27, and with 10 house beers plus 2 guest beers, it’s a day with a pretty wide range.
MugiWait, 10 house beers!? And there are guest beers too? My head’s spinning already, but what should I start with?
Hop BroI’d start with the Helles or the Nippori Kölsch. If you ease in with the easy-drinking lager styles, the whole day opens up differently when you move on to IPA or HAZY.
MugiI keep hearing HAZY, but is that just a cloudy style? The name already sounds like it’s lost in the fog!
Hop BroPretty much. Haze and juiciness are the main traits, and aroma tends to come forward more than bitterness. With a name like Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, it feels like the hops are going wild under a bridge, right?
MugiThat sounds fun! So what exactly is Shio no Kaze Gose? Does the shio part mean they put salt in the beer?!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part about Gose. Saltiness and acidity are the accents, and it’s a great fit for a summer pint. The light tartness makes it easy to drink, so it should pair well with the balsamic water eggplant salad too.
MugiOh, so with the water eggplant salad too, it feels like the first dish is already complete! And there are all-you-can-drink courses too, so this is basically set up for a long stay!
Hop BroExactly. There are courses from 4,500 yen up to 10,000 yen, and the dangerous part is the unlimited-time course. There’s even one with Japanese black beef, so it’s the kind of place where the more you drink, the more your plan falls apart.
MugiToo dangerous! But I’m also curious about the kintama IPL and the Shonan American Style IPA, so now I want to do a tasting in Nippori!
Hop BroIn the end, Okei Brewery Nippori is basically a tasting paradise. They’ve got everything from light lagers to hop-heavy beers, so this is the kind of place that makes you want one drink after work, or maybe two.

Food and courses
The post also introduced all-you-can-drink course options. The 4,500-yen "OKEI easy snack course" is available only on weekdays Monday through Thursday and on weekends from 12:00 to 14:00. The 5,500-yen and 6,500-yen courses are two-hour plans, while the 8,000-yen course includes seven food items, including Japanese black beef. The 10,000-yen course on weekday evenings after 18:00 has no time limit, and all of the courses can be used by groups of two or more.
The featured dish in the photos was a water eggplant salad. Paired with balsamic vinegar, it is the kind of light first dish that works well as an appetizer before the beer. As a brewpub in Higashi-Nippori within walking distance of Nippori Station, it is a place where craft beer and food can easily be built into the same outing.
