Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa, posted its tap list for July 20. The lineup features nine house beers alongside three guest pours from Ushitora Brewery, North Island Beer, and Black Tide Brewing, spanning easy-drinking classics and hop-forward styles.
Hop BroOkei Brewery Nippori in Nippori just dropped its July 20 tap update, and my beer brain is fully awake now.
MugiWhat! A 12-tap lineup? I'd be toasting the menu before I even sat down!
Hop BroAnd TAP1 through TAP9 are nine house beers, with names like Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge, OKEI IPA, and Nippori Kolsch leading the charge.
MugiOkay, but what is HAZY? It sounds cloudy and mysterious and somehow cooler than me.
Hop BroHAZY is basically a cloudy IPA style with a soft look, tropical aroma, and bitterness that feels rounder instead of sharp.
MugiOhhh, then HELLES and Nippori Kolsch are the easy-drinking team, right? Even the names sound dangerously crushable!
Hop BroExactly. HELLES is clean, Kolsch is light, Steam Ale brings a toasty edge, and Hyuganatsu Splash has a bright fruit character that really stands out.
MugiThat range is wild! And TAP10 to TAP12 are three guest pours, right? This lineup is throwing a full-on crossover episode!
Hop BroYep, with Passion Yawara from Ushitora Brewery, Sour Ale from North Island Beer, and Monster Gold ver 6.0 from Black Tide Brewing, this is the best part of a brewpub: comparing in-house and guest beers in one place.
MugiBrewpub sounds cool, but also like heavy machinery. What is a brewpub exactly?
Hop BroIt means they brew beer on-site and serve it there, and the post says easier after the afternoon because lunch reservations have settled down. I'm already planning my first pint, but no bike parking means no alcohol if you ride in.
MugiPerfect, then we're walking there and doing a full side-by-side tasting from HELLES to HAZY, because my mouth is officially on beer standby now!
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa, updated its tap list on July 20. The post shows a 12-tap lineup, with nine beers under the venue's own label and three guest beers from outside breweries.
Taps of the day
- TAP1 Arakawa HAZY Underbridge
- TAP2 Transit Inn
- TAP3 HELLES
- TAP4 OKEI IPA
- TAP5 Hyuganatsu Splash
- TAP6 Nippori Kölsch
- TAP7 Steam Ale
- TAP8 Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge
- TAP9 Megante
- TAP10 Passion Yawara / Ushitora Brewery
- TAP11 Sour Ale / North Island Beer
- TAP12 Monster Gold ver 6.0 / Black Tide Brewing
The list covers a wide range of styles. Alongside hop-forward Hazy and IPA options, there are lighter choices such as Helles, Kölsch, and Steam Ale, making the lineup easy to approach whether the goal is a first pint or a longer tasting session.
The guest section adds a nice contrast: Ushitora Brewery, North Island Beer, and Black Tide Brewing each bring a different character to the board. That mix is one of the strengths of a brewpub, where house beers and guest pours can be compared side by side.
The post also notes that the lunch reservation window had cleared, leaving plenty of room later in the day. It further states that there is no bicycle parking, and alcohol cannot be served to guests arriving by bicycle. With food available and an all-you-can-drink course mentioned in the profile flow, the venue works well for both casual stops and longer beer-focused visits.
