Okei Brewery Nippori posts June 9 tap list with house beers, pear saison and brown ale
The brewpub in Nippori shared its June 9 tap lineup, mixing house beers such as Arakawa Hazy Under Bridge, OKEI IPA and Nippori Kölsch with guest pours from Ushitora Brewery, Hop Kotan Brewing and Nara Brewing Co.
Hop BroNippori is getting lively. Okei Brewery Nippori just dropped its June 9 tap list, and the lineup is pretty aggressive.
MugiWait, Okei Brewery Nippori is that brewpub where you can enjoy house beers and guest taps in one place, right?
Hop BroExactly. From Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge to Nippori Kolsch, there are nine house brews lined up, so the first few pours can be a full comparison game.
MugiWhat is that lineup! Crystal Banana and Gorilla Cola sound like beer names invented during a sugar rush!
Hop BroAnd the guest side is strong too: Ushitora Brewery's collab with Abe Pear Orchard, the pear saison, plus Totonou from Hop Kotan Brewing and Ennui from Nara Brewing Co.
MugiHold on, what is saison? That word is so stylish my brain just left to wash glasses.
Hop BroSimple version: it's a style with bright, airy aroma, often fruity or a little spicy, and very easy to keep sipping.
MugiOhh! So the Abe Pear Orchard one should have juicy pear character floating up first? That sounds like the perfect opener.
Hop BroThen Totonou is a session pale ale: fruity, not too heavy, and built for long drinking without burning you out.
MugiSo when they call it super drinkable, they basically mean 'whoops, my glass is empty already'?
Hop BroExactly. It sounds technical, but it mostly means easy to keep drinking without getting tired of it.
MugiGot it! Then finishing with Ennui the brown ale sounds like the classy ending move.
Hop BroAnd that one brings adzuki and condensed milk on the nose, so it can carry you right into dessert territory.
MugiThis is bad in the best way. Both of us are fully in I need a pint mode now!
On June 9, Okei Brewery Nippori is serving a lineup that blends house originals with guest beers. The house taps include 荒川HAZYアンダーブリッジ, 辛酸甘苦, クリスタルバナナ, OKEI IPA, ゴリラコーラ, 日暮里ケルシュ, エスカー, ドン★ポタ and メガンテ, giving the draft list a clear brewpub identity centered on local names and house styles.
Guest taps
- 阿部梨園の洋梨セゾン / Ushitora Brewery: a pear-forward saison.
- ととのう / Hop Kotan Brewing: a fruity, easy-drinking session pale ale.
- ennui / Nara Brewing Co.: a brown ale described as having azuki bean and condensed milk notes.
The post suggests a lineup that works well for comparison drinking, moving from brighter, lighter beers to something with a softer and sweeter finish. Set in Higashinippori, the shop functions as both a brewery and a place to sit down and taste through different flavor profiles at an unhurried pace. For drinkers who like tracking the range within a single tap list, this is a particularly practical visit.
