Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji has tapped 15 distinctive draft beers today. Even choosing will feel like a feast!
MugiFifteen?! I can already feel a closing-time decision crisis coming on!
Hop BroStart with West Coast’s “Twelve As One” and Ushitra’s Nostalgic Hop Star IPA. They’re both great ways to explore hop-driven IPA character.
MugiI know IPA, but what is hand-pump service? Do you pump beer by hand?!
Hop BroExactly! Ushitra’s IPA is served by pulling a pump, giving it a gentler, hand-pulled texture with softer carbonation and room for the aroma to unfold.
MugiWow! If I compare IPAs and pull the pump, I’ll be a Kokubunji beer craftsperson for the night!
Hop BroNara Brewing’s “An New” is a sweet brown ale with azuki beans and condensed milk, while Hideji Beer’s “Kurikuro” is a chestnut-flavored stout—very autumnal.
MugiAzuki, condensed milk, and chestnut stout?! That’s a Japanese dessert lineup disguised as beer!
Hop BroFor something crisp, try Shonan Beer’s Yuzu Green Tea Lager; for haze, Kamado Brewery’s Hazy Boom; and there’s even classic Pilsner Urquell from Czechia.
MugiOpen until 25:00 on Friday and Saturday, with food until 24:00—perfect! IPA first, Kurikuro next… cheers to Kokubunji tonight!
