Okei Brewery Nippori posts June 5 tap list with three guest beers
Okei Brewery Nippori shared its tap lineup for Friday, June 5, 2026. The list includes nine venue beers plus three guest pours from SHIMA Brewery, NOMCRAFT Brewing, and Tamamura Honten.
Hop BroNippori is basically a mini beer festival today, because Okei Brewery Nippori dropped a 12-tap list for June 5.
MugiTwelve taps?! That's a beer amusement park, and I already can't decide where to start!
Hop BroTAP1 through 9 are the house lineup: Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge, OKEI IPA, Nippori Kolsch, even Gorilla Cola. Wild name energy, but the lineup is actually really well balanced.
MugiGorilla Cola? What is that! I almost want to toast to the name alone. That is still beer, right?!
Hop BroVery much beer. The fun part is the range: hazy, IPA, and Kolsch. And a Kolsch-style beer is basically crisp, light, and super easy to drink.
MugiWhoa, but can I admit something? Hazy, saison, Kolsch... my brain is full of beer words already!
Hop BroFair. Hazy usually means a cloudy look and soft hop aroma, while saison leans on expressive fermentation character. TAP10 is SHIMA Brewery's Karigane Tea Saison, which adds tea leaf aroma on top.
MugiTea and beer are sharing a glass now?! And wait, fermentation character sounds so serious. You mean layered aroma and a fun twist in the flavor?
Hop BroExactly. Then TAP11 is NOMCRAFT Brewing's Nomcraft Pale Ale for an easy-drinking lane, and TAP12 is Tamamura Honten's Shiga Kogen IPA for firm hop punch. The tasting flow is really clean.
MugiSo you can go from Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge to Shiga Kogen IPA and basically travel in one sitting? That's unfair in the best way.
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it. House beers and guest taps on the same day, all twelve taps by mood. I'd start with Nippori Kolsch and finish on the IPA.
MugiSame. My mind is already on the express train to the taproom. If there's a seat open, we're going.
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashinippori, Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, posted its tap lineup for Friday, June 5, 2026. The board covers TAP1 through TAP12, with nine venue beers first and three guest pours at the end.
TAP1 to TAP9 are: 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. The range suggests a broad house lineup spanning hazy, IPA, kölsch, and more playful labels.
Guest taps follow with TAP10 かりがね茶セゾン from SHIMA Brewery, TAP11 Nomcraft Pale Ale from NOMCRAFT Brewing, and TAP12 志賀高原IPA from 玉村本店. That mix gives the list a clear contrast: tea-inflected saison, an easy-drinking pale ale, and a classic Shiga Kogen IPA.
For beer fans, the appeal here is the balance between the venue’s own character and outside beers with distinct styles. It is the kind of lineup that makes it easy to move from a lighter pint to a hop-forward one without leaving the same counter.
