Okei Brewery Nippori posts July 10 tap list with nine house beers and three guests
The Arakawa, Tokyo brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori has shared its July 10 lineup. House-brewed HAZY ales, a Helles, a Kölsch, and a Steam Ale are joined by guest beers from Chichibu Beer, Baird Brewing, and Ise Kadoya Brewery, alongside a lamb sausage and couscous food feature.
Hop BroNippori is looking very dangerous tonight. Okei Brewery Nippori dropped its July 10 12-tap lineup, with 9 house beers and 3 guests, and that is absolutely a trap for indecisive drinkers.
MugiWait, nine house beers? That's a lot! If there are HAZYs on the board too, I'm going to freeze in front of the taps.
Hop BroThe headliners are Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge, Super Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge, and OKEI IPA, so it's very HAZY-forward. But they also tucked in HELLES and Nippori Kolsch, easy drinkers that lean lager-like even though one uses top fermentation.
MugiHold on, top-fermented but lager-like? What is that supposed to mean? Now I'm picturing beer fermenting on the second floor.
Hop BroEasy there. Nippori Kolsch is brewed with ale yeast, so you get a softer aroma, but the finish has lager-like crispness. HELLES is smooth too, so either one works as a starter.
MugiOhh! So I can start gentle, then work my way up to Gorilla Cola or Megante, the beers with a name too powerful to ignore.
Hop BroExactly. And the guest list is strong: Kurokuma Stout from Chichibu Beer, Rising Sun Pale Ale from Baird Brewing, and Hime White from ISEKADO. It's a great side-by-side set for comparing house and guest pours.
MugiDark, pale, and white all in one round, nice! And that lamb sausage with couscous, loaded with cumin, coriander, and paprika, sounds like a traffic jam of aroma in the best way.
Hop BroThat food pairing is borderline unfair. Those spices should work with HAZY or pale ale, and the brewpub vibe in Higashi-Nippori really says settle in for the night. They even mentioned a few table seats are open.
MugiAnd there's an all-you-can-drink course too, right? That's basically a full-spectrum mission. I'm already toasting in my head over whether to start with HELLES or Hime White.
Hop BroI'd open with HELLES, move to OKEI IPA, then finish on Super Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge. A wide-range tap list like this tells you exactly what a brewery can do.
MugiDecision made, we're going to Okei Brewery Nippori tonight. From the first pour to the final HAZY, I fully want to drink this lineup in order.
July 10 lineup
The 12 taps are mostly house beers, with nine brewed in-house and three guest pours. The list includes 荒川HAZYアンダーブリッジ, トランジット・イン, HELLES, OKEI IPA, ゴリラコーラ, 日暮里ケルシュ, スチームエール, 超荒川HAZYアンダーブリッジ, and メガンテ. The board leans into Okei Brewery Nippori's own brewing, while still covering a broad range of styles. The HAZY beers are backed up by lighter, lager-leaning options such as Helles and Kölsch, making the lineup easy to start with and easy to keep drinking through.
Guest beers
The guest side brings in 黒熊のスタウト from Chichibu Beer, ライジングサンペールエール from Baird Brewing, and ヒメホワイト from Ise Kadoya Brewery. Together they add a stout, a pale ale, and a white ale to the board, so the tap list reads like a compact style comparison. The mix gives the brewpub's own beers a clearer frame, from roastier depth to brighter hop character and softer wheat-driven refreshment.
Food and setting
The post also spotlights a lamb sausage and couscous dish made with cumin, coriander, and paprika. It is presented as a beer-friendly plate, and the post notes that a few table seats were still available. With its brewpub setting in Higashi-Nippori, Okei Brewery Nippori remains a practical stop for a sit-down drink and a full round of house and guest beers. An all-you-can-drink course is also mentioned for people who want to work through several pours at a slower pace.
