Hop BroKokubunji's Beer Cafe Gambrinus updated its tap list on April 16. Thirteen draft beers today, so they're coming in strong.
MugiWhoa! 13 kegs opened is a lot, right? Just looking at the menu is enough to fill my head with beer!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is good too. From IPAs like Ushitora / Yozora no Simkou to classic lagers like Pilsner Urquell, they've got it covered.
MugiWhat is that! I hear IPA a lot, but does that mean the hops are the star? Just the name makes it sound bitter, and I'm kind of nervous!
Hop BroExactly. To put it simply, it's the kind of beer where aroma and bitterness are vivid. Yozora no Simkou should bring out Simcoe-driven tropical notes, and it's easy to pair with food too.
MugiOhhh! Then is Kurozato Sweet Stout like dessert? Just hearing "black sugar" makes it sound sweet and rich!
Hop BroExactly. The deep richness of black sugar layers with the roasted malt's toastiness, so it works after a meal too, and it's interesting when paired with food.
MugiAnd they even have Meyer Lemon Lager and Aomori Ale? Fruit and tea too, it's like they can do anything, and that's fun!
Hop BroThat's Gambrinus's strength. The lineup is built to go with the handmade dishes by Japanese cuisine chef Icchee, so it's structured to keep you from getting tired of drinking.
MugiAnd there's also five beers for the Tenowa Night Market, right? Hearing that makes me want to run to the event venue!
Hop BroYeah, they're planning to bring things like Nagoya Castle Official Beer and Shiga Kogen Beer / Sono Ju, and they also have the April 29 Showa Day service. This is definitely the kind of day that makes you want to start with a drink at noon.
MugiWow, a day you can follow in Kokubunji sounds amazing. Today it's draft beers, and at night the market is outside drinking time. Now I want to go drink at both!
