Kokubunji's BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS: 14 Draft Beers on 4/17, Night Market Booth on 4/18
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, at the south exit of Kokubunji Station, announced that it will be open as usual on April 17. The shop is lining up draft beers centered on Japanese craft breweries, and it is also announcing five beers for its booth at the April 18 "Tenowa Night Market."
Hop BroBEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, right by the south exit of Kokubunji Station, is open as usual on April 17, with a huge lineup of 14 draft beers. Pair that with handmade dishes from Japanese cuisine chef Ichii, and it's basically a fun day from lunchtime on.
MugiWait, 14 draft beers? Isn't that too many?! I'd already be lost before choosing my first one!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Since the lineup runs from Black IPA and Hazy IPA to fruit lager, stout, and weizen, you can compare a wide range of styles all at once.
MugiHuh? But Black IPA and Hazy IPA sound kind of like spells just from the names.
Hop BroVery simply, Black IPA is about roasted aroma and bitterness, while Hazy IPA is known for haze and juiciness. The former brings out roast notes, and the latter tends to show more hop-forward fruitiness.
MugiI see! Then I'm also interested in aromatic styles like Shima Brewing's Meyer Lemon Lager and Y Market's Yoi Yoi Yoi.
Hop BroGood choice. Plus the shop is completely non-smoking, has no cover charge, and even offers free Wi-Fi, so it's a perfect neighborhood beer pub for dropping in and comparing pours.
MugiSeriously, that's so convenient! And with 5 counter seats and 14 table seats inside, it also has a secretly cozy, homey feel!
Hop BroAnd then on April 18, they're set to appear at the Tenowa Night Market, where they'll have five beers ready. Hopping Shachi, Time Slip, Alternative IPA, Sono Ju, and Earl Grey, they're really going for an event-ready lineup.
MugiWow, five beers at the venue and the night market instantly becomes a beer festival! And they even have Shiga Kogen Beer's Sono Ju, which sounds strong just from the name!
Hop BroOn a day like this, opening your first beer in Kokubunji or comparing pours at the night market are both the right move. There's even a mention of special service for Showa Day, so this is definitely the kind of thing that makes you want to clear your schedule and go drink.
MugiI've decided, I'm going too! First I want to look over the "Today's Drafts" at Gambrinus, then raise another toast at the night market!
