BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji posts a four-beer tap update
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji, Tokyo, published its June 17 tap list. The update highlights four newly opened beers from Fujizakura Kogen Beer, DD4D, Ushitora, and Harvestmoon, alongside a 13-beer lineup.
Hop BroThe topic today is BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji, and on June 17 they had four fresh tappings going at once.
MugiWhat, that much action at a station-side pub? Thirteen taps lined up sounds like a menu that attacks my attention span!
Hop BroAnd the new pours were really stacked: Fujizakura Heights Beer Hoppy Kolsch, DD4D Lucky Charm, Ushitora If You Can't Decide, This Pale!, and Harvestmoon Schwarz, basically a domestic craft dream team.
MugiWait, what is Hoppy Kolsch? Kolsch sounds like a spell, and I feel like my HP is dropping already.
Hop BroKolsch is a crisp ale style from Germany, and this one leans harder on the hops, so it's a light, snappy drinker you can knock back easily.
MugiOhhh, then DD4D's Lucky Charm being a double IPA means lucky but dangerous, right? Big name, big punch?
Hop BroExactly. A double IPA turns up both hop aroma and strength, so it's basically the gym-bulk version of IPA.
MugiThat rules. But Ushitora's If You Can't Decide, This Pale! has such aggressively kind energy. Is it the beginner rescue beer?
Hop BroPretty much, and then Harvestmoon Schwarz brings in that roasted dark-beer side, so from Kolsch to black lager you've got a wide tasting range in one visit.
MugiAnd it's one minute from Kokubunji south exit, no cover charge, plus Ichii's handmade food? That's suspiciously unbeatable.
Hop BroThen you still have Y.Market's NEW Onigashima IX, Kyoto Brewing's Orokanaru Bi, and Yamorido Chirin, with strong Coming Soon taps too, so my first pint debate is already out of control.
MugiI'd start with Hoppy Kolsch and finish on Schwarz. This lineup makes me want to yell meet me in Kokubunji now.
