Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji lists 13 drafts and previews a Hansharo Beer TTO
Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji, Tokyo, posted its August 21 lineup. The bar listed 13 draft beers and previewed a Hansharo Beer tap takeover for September 12. The day’s new pour was Fujizakura Kogen Beer’s Bubai.
Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji is pouring 13 beers on tap tonight, and they’ve already teased a Hansharo Beer TTO for September 12.
MugiWhat! All taps Hansharo means the bar’s draft lines get completely hijacked by one brewery!?
Hop BroThat’s basically it. TTO means Tap Take Over, a full tap takeover party, and on September 12 from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. the whole place goes Hansharo-only.
MugiOkay, but the one grabbing me today is Fuji-Zakura Heights Beer’s Budomugi name. Does it taste like grape bread or what?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Budomugi is the newly tapped beer, and the name hints at a grape-like image, so it already feels like a standout pour from Fuji-Zakura.
MugiThe name alone is tempting, and then you’re telling me they’ve got lager, Hazy IPA, saison, and rauch too? That’s way too broad for one lineup!
Hop BroBroad is an understatement. Ushitora’s Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA is a juicy hop bomb, Johana’s Masaru Saison is light and crisp, and Fuji-Zakura’s Rauch brings smoked malt aroma.
MugiHold on, smoked malt sounds like something from a snack menu. How does a beer end up tasting smoky?
Hop BroBecause the malt gets smoked before brewing, so you get a campfire-like aroma that can feel a little like bacon or a fire pit. Sounds technical, tastes instantly obvious.
MugiA campfire in a glass!? And if they’ve got Orion The Draft all the way to Pilsner Urquell, this is comparison flight heaven.
Hop BroExactly. They’re open 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., with food last order at 11 and drinks at midnight, so you can hit it tonight or wait for Shiga Kogen and Ashura Triple IPA from the coming soon list.
MugiThis schedule reads like a love letter from a beer bar. Warm up at Gambrinus now, then go big at the September 12 Hansharo TTO... I want a pint immediately!
