BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji serves 13 drafts on Aug. 15, as Okinawa Fair ends
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS near Kokubunji Station published its Aug. 15 tap list. The lineup features 13 draft beers, led by Orion Beer’s The Draft, alongside the final day of its Okinawa Fair menu.
Hop BroJust a minute from Kokubunji Station South Exit, BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS had the Okinawa Fair finale going on August 15, and the lineup was seriously strong.
MugiWhat! Right by the station? And 13 beers on tap? Those tap handles were basically pulling a double shift!
Hop BroThe anchor was Orion Beer’s The Draft, and from there it stretched all the way to Ushitora’s Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA.
MugiWhoa, but Hazy IPA sounds like a beer that forgot where it parked.
Hop BroHazy means it’s cloudy, super aromatic, and usually softer on bitterness, so think a gentler IPA and you’re close.
MugiOhhh, then with Masaru Saison and Shiga Kogen’s porter, this is basically a tasting paradise!
Hop BroExactly. Saison is light and spicy, porter brings roasted depth, and with weizen plus summer orange ale, it becomes a style traffic jam in the best way.
MugiWhat is this, delicious chaos? And on top of the beer, there were nine Okinawan dishes too? My stomach needs a schedule!
Hop BroShimarakkyou tempura, umi-budo, Okinawa soba, rafute, even handmade sata andagi, so with Orion on draft it’s basically an Okinawa trip set.
MugiIf they opened at 3 p.m. and went till 1 a.m., I’d start with Orion, jump to a hazy, then finish with soba for the full-day course!
Hop BroAnd the Coming Soon list had Shiga Kogen’s Indian Summer Saison and Nomcraft’s Green Magic, so there was even a next pint teaser waiting.
MugiNope, that does it. I want a glass in Kokubunji and a toast right now!
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a craft beer pub on the 6th floor near Kokubunji Station South Exit, said it would operate as usual on Saturday, Aug. 15. Saturday hours start at 3:00 p.m. and run until 1:00 a.m., with food last order at 11:00 p.m. and drinks last order at midnight.
The day’s tap list includes 13 draft beers. The lineup starts with Orion Beer’s The Draft, then moves through Ushitora’s Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA, Gangi Brewing’s Hop Summit, Johana Beer’s Masaru Saison, Shonan Beer’s Summer Orange Ale, Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter, DD4D’s Time After Time, Iwate Kura Beer’s Weizen, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Dank Dank Dank!!, T.Y. Harbor’s Amber Ale, Craft Beer Base’s XPA -Luna-, Blue Classic’s Scheme, and Pilsner Urquell. It is a broad mix of hazy IPA, saison, fruit ale, porter, weizen, amber ale, and classic lager styles.
The post also marked the final day of the annual Okinawa Fair. Alongside Orion on tap, the kitchen was serving nine Okinawa dishes, including usachi, island shallot tempura, goya chips, goya stir-fry, mozuku seaweed, Okinawa soba, rafute, and handmade sata andagi. It is the kind of setup that fits the bar’s style well: a station-area beer pub where the draft list and the food menu are both part of the draw.
Coming soon, the bar listed Shiga Kogen Beer’s Indian Summer Saison, Nomcraft’s Green Magic, OgunA’s 30th Pale Ale and Golden Ale, and Hop Kotan Brewing’s Time Files.
