Okei Brewery Nippori updates taps for June 7, featuring Ushitora pear saison
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Nippori, has published its June 7 tap list. The lineup includes Ushitora Brewery’s “Abe Orchards Pear Saison,” house beers from Okei, and guest pours from Shimabrewery, Nomcraft Brewing, and Tamamura Honten.
Hop BroSomething interesting hit Nippori today: Okei Brewery Nippori just refreshed its June 7 tap list, and the mix of house beers and guests looks stacked.
MugiWait, a tap refresh means the kegs changed, right? Twelve beers on tap is how you turn one decision into a personal crisis!
Hop BroThe headline pour is Abe Nashien Pear Saison from Ushitora Brewery. It balances sweetness and acidity, then opens up with this elegant pear aroma.
MugiWhoa, but what is a saison? It sounds cute, and somehow also like a pop quiz.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's light and dry in finish. It's a style that's easy to pair with food, and the pear character makes it even more meal-friendly.
MugiWhat, that sounds perfect. If it's great with food, I want it with that eggplant and chicken-heart sansho marinade right now.
Hop BroAnd the house lineup is no joke either. Arakawa HAZY Underbridge is there with OKEI IPA, Nippori Kolsch, and Crystal Banana, which is already a party of names.
MugiHold on, hazy means foggy? Why is this beer suddenly pretending to be weather?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It usually means a cloudy IPA style, softer on the palate and big on hop aroma, so some people say it drinks almost like juice.
MugiAnd the guests include Shiga Kogen IPA, Nomcraft Pale Ale, and a Karigane Tea Saison? There is no responsible way to stop at one.
Hop BroExactly. With an all-you-can-drink option too, keg-chasing in Nippori starts sounding like a very solid plan.
MugiThen it's settled. First glass strategy is the pear saison, then we work through the house brews. Now I seriously want a drink.
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashinippori, Arakawa City, updated its tap list for June 7.
The featured beer in the post is Ushitora Brewery’s “Abe Orchards Pear Saison.” The brewery describes it as a beer with a good balance of sweetness and acidity, with a refined pear character that spreads across the palate. It sounds like a saison that should work well both on its own and alongside food.
The food side also fits the pub setting. The post highlights a quick dish of eggplant and chicken hearts marinated with Japanese pepper, suggesting a menu built for pairing with beer rather than waiting long between rounds.
The full lineup covers 12 taps. Okei Brewery Nippori’s own beers include “Arakawa HAZY Underbridge,” “Shinsan Amaku,” “Crystal Banana,” “OKEI IPA,” “Gorilla Cola,” “Nippori Kölsch,” “Escar,” “Don Pota,” and “Megante.” Guest beers are “Karigane Tea Saison” from Shimabrewery, “Nomcraft Pale Ale” from Nomcraft Brewing, and “Shiga Kogen IPA” from Tamamura Honten.
The post also mentions an all-you-can-drink course, with more details available via the venue’s Tabelog and Hot Pepper listings. For drinkers looking for a rotating tap list and a brewpub atmosphere in Nippori, this is a straightforward stop to keep in mind.
