Okei Brewery Nippori: 12 House-Brewed Beers on the May 15 Tap List
Okei Brewery Nippori in Higashi-Nippori announced its tap list for May 15. Alongside 10 house-brewed beers such as Helles, Nippori Kölsch, and Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, two guest beers from Ushitora Brewery and ISEKADOYA BREWERY were also on the lineup.
Hop BroSomething interesting just came up in Nippori, a big 12-tap spread. Okei Brewery Nippori posted its May 15 tap list, with 10 house-brewed beers and 2 guest beers, so it's a pretty serious lineup.
MugiWhoa, 10 house-brewed beers!? With that many, I wouldn't even know where to start.
Hop BroThe core is easy to understand. They have everything from lager to gose, so with Helles, Nippori Kölsch, OKEI IPA, Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, and AmberBalance all lined up, it's the kind of selection you can choose from based on your mood that day.
MugiI see, but what's the difference between Kölsch and gose? The names alone are mysterious, and they sound kind of like space language.
Hop BroRoughly speaking, Kölsch is a refined style that's light and easy to drink, while gose is a distinctive style with a touch of saltiness and acidity. So you can start lightly with Nippori Kölsch and then switch things up with Shio no Kaze Gose, which is one of the great joys of a brewpub.
MugiThat sounds fun! And Paina-po! is such a name, of course it's going to catch my attention. Just imagining whether it has a fruity vibe makes me want to drink it.
Hop BroThe name alone has strong pull, right? They also have hop-forward IPAs and hazy beers like Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, so it's a lineup that will appeal to aroma-focused drinkers too. It's a day where hop aroma is the star.
MugiWait, there are guest beers too!? Two outside breweries? Now I really want to know who they are.
Hop BroThe guests are Ushitora Brewery's slowly and carefully brewed Pilsner and ISEKADOYA BREWERY's Neko Ni Hiki. With the character of the house beers plus the reassuring popularity of these classics, the tasting comparison is a lot of fun.
MugiAnd hearing that feather is ending soon makes it feel a little sad. I want to check it out early so I don't miss anything I'm curious about.
Hop BroExactly. If you're taking it slow in Nippori, now is the perfect time. Go pick today's drink, whether you start with Helles or finish with Neko Ni Hiki, just thinking about it makes my throat feel dry.
MugiI'm completely in the mood to drink now too! A drink in Nippori... maybe I really should go tonight.
