Okei Brewery Nippori Releases April 12 Tap List, "Don★Sta" on Final Keg
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Nippori, Tokyo, has released its tap list for April 12. Twelve taps line up, ranging from house staples to Hazy beers and gose, with guest beers from Miyazaki Hideji Beer and Kagiya Brewery added to the mix.
Hop BroToday, Okei Brewery Nippori has a hot April 12 tap list. It's 12 taps centered on house brews, with everything from Helles to Hazy and gose, so it's the kind of lineup where you can get lost before you even start drinking.
MugiWhoa, 12 taps! A wide range of flavors already makes me hungry just looking at the menu.
Hop BroAnd they've got a lager-leaning Helles, the hoppy "Pineapo!", "Spicy-Sour-Bitter," which aims for a balance of sourness and bitterness, and the salty "Saltwind Gose." From light and crisp to bold and attack-minded, the personalities are really different.
MugiHuh! But what even is a gose? The name "Saltwind" sounds weird on its own.
Hop BroTo put it simply, gose is a refreshing sour style that's got salt and acidity. It has that sharp lemony kick with a hint of salt, so it's the kind of beer that goes down easily on hot days or with food.
MugiMakes sense - my throat would be happy before I even drink it! And a Hazy side-by-side tasting sounds incredibly fun.
Hop BroThat's the highlight. "Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge" and "Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge" are on tap together. You can compare the juicy aroma and mouthfeel of the haze, so it's irresistible for anyone who likes following a series' differences.
MugiWhat! And the final keg of Don★Sta? That's the kind of beer you hate to see end just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. The post says it's the last keg, so if you're interested, sooner is better. They also have guest beers like Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Katakabe Oktoberfest and Kagiya Brewery's "DOUBLE DECKER IPA," so the lineup adds both malt character and hop character.
MugiWow, I love that it even expands to food pairings. Festbier with meat, IPA for aroma - I'd end up ordering forever!
Hop BroAnd they even have all-you-can-drink courses, from a 2-hour option to one with food including Kuroge Wagyu, and even an unlimited-time plan on weekdays after 6 p.m. It's the kind of brewpub where you can really settle in and drink in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa Ward.
MugiI definitely want to go! Let's put it on the list as a spring daytime-drinking candidate and tour from Helles to Hazy today.
12 Beers on Tap for April 12
The lineup Okei Brewery Nippori announced for the day is a 12-tap selection centered on house-brewed beers. The range is broad, from the lager-leaning "Helles" to the hoppy "Pineapo!", "Spicy-Sour-Bitter," which aims for a balance of acidity and bitterness, and the salt-tinged "Saltwind Gose."
In the Hazy category, "Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge" and "Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge" are included, making it a highlight for comparing the shop's signature naming series side by side. Also on tap are "feather," "AmberBalance," "Chiikara," and "Don★Sta," and the tap list alone makes the differences in character stand out clearly.
Two Guest Beers Too
The guest slots feature Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s "Katakabe Oktoberfest" and Kagiya Brewery’s "DOUBLE DECKER IPA." Adding a malty festbier and an IPA to the house lineup should also broaden the food pairings.
The post also notes that "Don★Sta" has reached its final keg, so if you're interested, it would be smart to check it out early. An all-you-can-drink course is also available, with options ranging from a 2-hour plan to a food-inclusive course featuring Kuroge Wagyu, plus an unlimited-time plan on weekdays after 6 p.m.
