Hop BroKokubunji's Beer Cafe Gambrinus updated its tap list for March 25. Today's star is Craft Bank's Coffee Stout, and that's quite an intriguing way to start.
MugiWow! Just the name Coffee Stout makes me want to stay up late! And being able to drink it in Kokubunji somehow feels really insider-like!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong too. There's Black Tide's West Coast IPA, Kyoto Brewing's Spring Whim, and Let's Beer Works' Hazy IPA, so it's fun how each hop character feels completely different.
MugiWhat is that! West Coast, Hazy... the names sound cool, but my brain's a little behind here!
Hop BroBasically, it's about comparing the differences in aroma and bitterness. West Coast IPA is crisp and sharp, Hazy IPA leans cloudy and juicy, and stout gives you that roasted, coffee-like finish.
MugiOhh! So today is a day when you can travel by mood, from roasty to juicy. A beer trip in Kokubunji, that's amazing!
Hop BroExactly, and it's not just IPA either. There's Hiroshima Neibari's Hiroshima Sunrise Lager, Hideji Beer' Kinkan Lager, and Saikado's Specialty Saison too. What's great is that the lineup is built so you can also make it work with food.
MugiWait, a lager with kinkan? I thought fruit lager would be sweet, but it actually sounds great with food too!
Hop BroThat's very Gambrinus. They've even thought about pairings with the new spring menu featuring spring vegetables and firefly squid, so every time you switch glasses, the plate keeps moving too.
MugiAnd they even leave Coming Soon teasers like Dark 12° and Snow Monkey IPA. That's unfair, dropping future fun like that! It's the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back even without plans!
Hop BroThey're open from 17:00 to 25:00, so it's nice that you can settle in and drink at a relaxed pace. Today, I think the best flow is to start with a beer in Kokubunji, then chat with the staff while waiting for the next cask.
MugiDeal! I want to start with the Coffee Stout first! But the IPA and the lager both sound tempting, so I feel like I'd end up having a second drink anyway!
