BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS posts June 12 tap list and tomato festival menu
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji released its June 12 draft lineup. Two beers are marked as newly tapped, and the beer pub is also taking part in the local Kokuvege Tomato Festa with tomato-based dishes.
Hop BroI’ve got today’s topic ready: BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji is rolling out 13 taps today, and they’ve paired it with the Kokuvege Tomato Festa.
MugiWhat! A beer and tomato festival at the same time? That sounds chaotic in the best possible way!
Hop BroAnd the two fresh openings today are Harvestmoon’s fresh pilsner pour and Outsider’s “The Counties” English Pale Ale, which is a pretty strong combo.
MugiWait, what? English Pale Ale already sounds fancy, but what does malty depth even mean? Is the beer turning into bread?
Hop BroNot quite bread, but close in spirit. It means you get a solid grainy richness from the malt, with hop aroma layered on top, so The Counties feels both toasty and bright.
MugiOhhh, got it! So Harvestmoon’s pilsner is the clean crisp one? That makes the side-by-side tasting sound like a personality test for beer!
Hop BroExactly. Then the rest of the list piles on Tuatara, Black Magic Stout, Everyday IPA, Suruga Bay IIPA, Hino Berry Ale and more, so it’s basically a style traffic jam in the best sense.
MugiHold on, how many I’s can an IPA have!? It already sounds intense, and now it looks like a superhero upgrade.
Hop BroIIPA means Imperial IPA, so think extra hop power and a fuller, bolder profile. They’ve also got stout, weizen, fruit ale, and even Pilsner Urquell, so the range is huge.
MugiAnd then they bring in local tomato dishes like fried tomato, dashi jelly, and mini pizza? That’s a triple tomato combo trying to steal the whole show!
Hop BroThe festa runs through June 14, but GAMBRINUS joins through June 13, and on June 12 they’re open 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. It’s basically perfect tasting weather built into the schedule.
MugiI want the Black Magic Stout, the Hino Berry Ale, and that tomato mini pizza to finish. Tonight’s first pint has to be at GAMBRINUS, no question!
Today's Draft List
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS published its June 12 tap list. The two beers marked as newly opened are Harvestmoon Pilsner and Outsider's The Counties English Pale Ale. The lineup balances a classic lager with a pale ale that brings both malt depth and hop character.
Other taps include Blue Classic's Tuatara, Sakura Brewery's Black Magic Stout, Great Dane's Everyday IPA, Baird Beer's Suruga Bay IIPA, Nomcraft's Moon Calendar and Chiki Chiki Boon, Black Tide's Full Power, Two Rabbits' Aussie Pale Ale, Hansharo BiyA's Parallel World, Hino Brewing's Hino Berry Ale, and Pilsner Urquell. The selection spans IPA, stout, wheat beer, and fruit beer, giving drinkers a broad range to compare in one visit.
Kokuvege Tomato Festa
The bar is also joining the seasonal "Kokuvege Tomato Festa," which uses tomatoes grown in Kokubunji. The menu at Gambrinus includes tomato agedashi, tomato dashi jelly, and a mini pizza topped with tomato. The festival runs through June 14, while Gambrinus' participation continues through June 13.
Located on the 6th floor of the No. 46 Tokyo Building in Minamicho, Kokubunji, the pub serves craft beer alongside food. On June 12 it is open for regular service from 17:00 to 25:00, with last food orders at 23:00 and last drink orders at 24:00. It is a straightforward day for tap-list fans: draft beer on one side, local tomato dishes on the other.
