Kokubunji's BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS Adds New Taps and Announces a Reifuro Beer TTO
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji updated its Aug. 24 tap list with new pours from Oni Densetsu Beer, Yokohama Bay Brewing, and North Island. The bar also announced a Reifuro Beer tap takeover for Sept. 12.
Hop BroBEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji has a very busy tap day today. Its August 24 update brought three fresh tappings, plus a preview for a Hansharo Beer TTO on September 12.
MugiWhat! Three fresh tappings already sounds dangerous for my wallet! What came on?
Hop BroThis round is three straight curveballs: Oni Densetsu's "Akiyama Bitter III," North Island's "Team Up IPA," and Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Lemogra." That's a bitter, a West Coast IPA, and a Mexican lager with lemongrass.
MugiHold on, West Coast IPA sounds like I'm drinking sea breeze. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroBasically, it's crisp bitterness and aroma up front. It's more about sharpness than sweetness, and "Lemogra" adds lemongrass, so your mouth suddenly feels like a summer festival.
MugiWhoa, and the current list is basically a tasting paradise, right? From Ushitora's "Ashura Triple IPA" to Shiga Kogen's "Indian Summer Saison" and Hideji's "Kemurihige Stout"!
Hop BroExactly, GAMBRINUS is in full style-spectrum mode right now. Hazy IPA, saison, stout, weizen, even Pilsner Urquell, so both bitterness fans and easy-drinking fans are covered.
MugiAnd the Coming Soon list even has a sweet little trap waiting. Oni Densetsu's "Sweet Strawberry" already sounds like dessert in a glass.
Hop BroAnd that's not all, the next wave looks stacked. Black Tide's "Miyate Spirit Ver.3.0," Iwatekura Beer's "Midsummer Saison," Touchdown's "Yamanashi Peach Weizen," and Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Heavy Crime" are all lined up.
MugiBut seriously, what is TTO? The moment I see three capital letters, my brain thinks it's a pop quiz!
Hop BroTTO means Tap Takeover. On September 12 from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., every tap switches to Hansharo Beer, head brewer Yamada is scheduled to visit, and there'll be Shizuoka-themed food and game events too.
MugiThen I want a glass now and I'm blocking off September 12 too! Today for "Lemogra," next for Hansharo Beer, and suddenly Kokubunji is my beer field trip.
