Hop BroBEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, is coming at you with 13 draft beers and a spring-style dish.
MugiWhat, 13 kinds!? And they even have the all-prosciutto platter? That's making me want to drink seriously!
Hop BroAnd they even have the house-named Gambrinus 12° in the lineup, so there's a proper anchor for the first drink.
MugiWhat is 12°!? Is a 12-degree beer sweet?
Hop BroIt's an old-fashioned notation, so you can enjoy the crispness of a pilsner and still have fun lining it up with hazy beers like Kagiya Brewery's Mellow Yellow IPA.
MugiOhhh! And just the name Hazy IPA sounds cloudy and delicious!
Hop BroExactly. They also have Shiga Kogen's Baby Blonde Miyama and Nara Brewing, and even Pilsner Urquell, so even though it's mostly Japanese, it feels like you're traveling.
MugiWait, Japanese Saison and Session IPA and all that sounds like a spell; my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroSimply put, saisons are aromatic and lively, and session IPAs are easy-drinking IPAs, so they pair well with the saltiness of the prosciutto, and the whole lineup makes you reach for the next glass before you know it.
MugiThen today in Kokubunji, it's got to be alternating between prosciutto and draft beer. I'm already getting thirsty!
Hop BroYeah, it's the kind of place that's perfect for a day when you want to settle in and drink, and now I want to slide into the counter right away too.
Located on the 6th floor of a building, a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station in Tokyo, "BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS／BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS" introduced its "all prosciutto platter" and today's draft beers in an Instagram post on April 10.
