Okei Brewery Nippori posts June 21 tap list with 12 beers
Okei Brewery Nippori in Tokyo's Higashi-Nippori posted its June 21 tap lineup, featuring nine house beers plus guest pours from BREW CLASSIC, GAHAHA BEER, and Nara Brewing Co. The pub also noted that soccer will be shown on its in-house monitor from 1 p.m.
Hop BroNippori has a 12-tap lineup worth talking about today. Okei Brewery Nippori is pouring 9 house beers plus 3 guest taps, and that makes it a really fun list to compare.
MugiWhat! Nine house beers is a lot, isn’t it? And with guest taps too, my brain would be jammed before the first sip!
Hop BroThe core lineup is strong. You’ve got Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge, OKEI IPA, Nippori Kolsch, and Helles, so the brewpub’s own personality comes through clearly.
MugiHold on, Nippori Kolsch sounds cute, but what even is Kolsch? A spell? A station line?
Hop BroKolsch is a light and crisp style with German roots. It’s easy to drink, not too bitter, and still has a nice aroma, so it feels approachable without being boring.
MugiOhh! Easy but still aromatic is exactly the kind of thing a beginner wants. Then is Helles gentle too? The name sounds like a final boss!
Hop BroHelles is usually pretty soft too, while IPA and Hazy let the hops speak louder. Then the three guest beers widen the range even more: Cyriver from BREW CLASSIC, Shall Wheat Dance from Gahaha Beer, and ENNUI from Nara Brewing.
MugiNo way! Shall Wheat Dance already sounds cheerful, and ENNUI sounds sleepy. The emotions inside this tap list are all over the place!
Hop BroAnd from 1 p.m. they’re showing soccer on the monitors inside the pub. Comparing beers while watching a match is a pretty complete brewpub experience.
MugiThat sounds perfect... With the all-you-can-drink course, I’d start with Nippori Kolsch and then jump into the guest taps. No bike, full drinking mode!
Hop BroThat plan is solid. Start with OKEI IPA and Helles to understand the house range, then move to the guests and the differences should really pop.
MugiI’m sold. I want a toast right now, and if I stood in front of those 12 taps, I’d probably grin at the menu for five straight minutes!

The guest section adds three distinct breweries: BREW CLASSIC with Sairiver, GAHAHA BEER with Shalwheat Dance, and Nara Brewing Co. with ENNUI.
