MugiWhoa! Just the name Buffalo Bandit sounds tough! But what kind of beer is it, really, if it's a buffalo?
Hop BroThe style is American IPA, and the hop aroma is the star. It's the kind of beer that tends to show grapefruit-like citrus notes and a solid bitterness.
MugiWait, hop aroma can feel that different?! It kind of sounds like the fragrance is suddenly going wild, which is a little scary, but I want to try it!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Gambrinus has 14 taps of draft beer, so the fun is in trying guest beers like this side by side.
MugiOhh! And if it's just 1 minute on foot from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, you'll get there before you even have a chance to get lost!
Hop BroExactly. And the food is homemade by Japanese cuisine chef Icchi, so you can enjoy a meal while using the IPA's bitterness as a perfect snack pairing.
MugiWhat? So it's not just beer, but happiness from both beer and food?
Hop BroThat's right. The place is completely non-smoking, has no cover charge, and even Free Wi-Fi, so it's perfect for dropping in and settling in for a long drink.
MugiNice, I love places like this where you can start the night with a calm first drink. Makes me want to begin the evening slowly with Buffalo Bandit.
Hop BroExactly. Today, it's all about a guest beer on draft in Kokubunji. With hop aroma and homemade food, it makes you want to raise a glass right away.
