Hop BroKokubunji's BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS is the story today. They're opening at 5 p.m. on August 14 and keeping the annual Okinawa fair going through August 15.
MugiWait, Okinawa fair continues means it's not just beer, right? The snacks are in full tropical festival mode too?
Hop BroExactly. They've got Orion's The Draft on tap, plus nine Okinawan dishes like umi-budo, goya champuru, and Okinawa soba that make it easy to keep drinking.
MugiWhat is this, 13 taps pouring? My brain is already in happy hour before I've even picked a glass!
Hop BroAnd the list runs from Shonan Beer Summer Orange Ale to Shiga Kogen Porter and Mugamuchu, plus DD4D Time After Time, so the range of styles is seriously stacked.
MugiOkay, but Hazy IPA and Weizen sound like spells from a wizard textbook. I need a deep breath before ordering!
Hop BroA Hazy IPA is juicy and soft on the nose, while a Weizen like Iwatekura's feels fluffy from the wheat, so it's really about differences in mouthfeel more than scary jargon.
MugiOhhh, so the fancy words were secretly just a tasting paradise this whole time!
Hop BroAnd the bench is strong too. Coming soon they've got Ushitora's Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA, Shiga Kogen's Indian Summer Saison, and Gangi's Hop Summit, so the next wave is loaded.
MugiHold on, there are backup stars too? Deep tap roster sounds less like a bar and more like a championship team!
Hop BroYou can go from lager to porter to IPA to Kolsch and pilsner in one stop, and with hours from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., tonight's game plan can start after we sit down.
MugiThen it's settled! Start with Orion, detour into 1926 or Sprint IPA, and end the night with both of us ready to drink our way through Kokubunji!
