Hop BroBEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji has released a 15-beer tap list. October 22 sounds perfect for a tasting flight!
MugiWhoa, fifteen beers?! That's a traffic jam of choices. I might freeze right in front of the taps!
Hop BroThe standout is Isekadoya Beer’s English-style ESB. It has malty depth and gentle bitterness, with a calm, balanced character.
MugiWhat even is ESB? Three mystery letters suddenly sound like a brewery password!
Hop BroIt means Extra Special Bitter, a British-style ale. In simple terms, it is a malt-forward beer, not one that pushes hops as hard as an IPA.
MugiOh, so it is not just bitter—it can have bready malt richness too. I want to start with that!
Hop BroIPA fans are covered too: Ogna Moonlight IPA, Swan Lake IPA, two hazy IPAs, and Kakegawa Farm’s Cooling Break Cold IPA.
MugiHazy and cold—my brain has become a refrigerator! So IPAs have personalities, too?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPAs are cloudy and juicy, while Cold IPA aims for a crisp clean bitterness with lager-like drinkability.
MugiThen we start mellow with ESB, cheer at a hazy IPA, and reset with a Cold IPA—the perfect tasting plan!
Hop BroThere is also wheat beer, grapefruit ale, pilsner, micro porter, and imperial stout, so you can travel from light to rich in one evening.

A broad draft lineup in Kokubunji
Beer Cafe Gambrinus, a beer pub on the sixth floor of the 46th Tokyo Building in Minamicho, Kokubunji, has shared its tap list for October 22, 2026.
The featured opening is Isekadoya Beer’s ESB. Built around malt richness and moderate bitterness, the English-style ale offers a calmer, more balanced profile than the hop-forward character associated with many IPAs.
The IPA selection includes Ogna’s Moonlight IPA, Swan Lake Beer’s Swan Lake IPA, U.B.P Brewery’s Keyaki Anthem Hazy IPA, Blue Classic’s Umiyuri Hazy IPA, and Kakegawa Farm’s Cooling Break Cold IPA. Together, they cover juicy hazy expressions as well as cleaner, crisper interpretations.
The remaining taps include Touchdown’s Rock Dry-Hopped Weizen, Harvest Moon’s Grapefruit Ale, Mitaka Yamaneko Brewing’s Azarashi Pilsner Okawari, CRAFT BEER BASE’s Northwest Pale Ale and Imperial Stout, Nara Brewing’s Lighthouse Micro Porter, and Pilsner Urquell.
With styles ranging from light lager and wheat beer to dark, malt-driven beers, the list suits both casual after-work drinks and careful tasting flights. Gambrinus pairs its draft selection with food in a relaxed beer-pub setting. Tap availability can change, so checking the pub’s latest update before visiting is recommended.
