Gambrinus in Kokubunji Announces 13 Draft Beers and 5 Picks for the 4/18 Tenowa Night Market
Beer Cafe Gambrinus / BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a beer pub in Kokubunji, Tokyo, published its tap list for April 14, 2026. In addition to the regular-service lineup, it also announced five beers scheduled to be served at the April 18 "Tenowa Night Market."
Hop BroKokubunji's 13-draft lineup is seriously ambitious. Beer Cafe Gambrinus posted the tap list on April 14, and it runs from lager to IPA to stout.
MugiWhat! Thirteen draft beers? That's the kind of place where the second you walk in, you have so many options your brain turns to foam!
Hop BroExactly, and it's on the 6th floor of the 46 Tokyo Building in the south exit area of Kokubunji Station, which gives it that slightly "in-the-know" feel. Places like this are strong when they build around draft beer.
MugiWhat do you mean? Is that some kind of on tap code? It sounds like secret language from a beer conference, and I already feel like I shouldn't be allowed in!
Hop BroOn tap just means the draft beers currently connected. For example, there's a pretty wide range of flavors, from Shima Brewing's Meyer Lemon Lager to Sankt Gallen's Brown Sugar Sweet Stout.
MugiWhoa, just the name Brown Sugar Sweet Stout sounds like dessert, and the lemon-style lager sounds interesting too! Today looks like I can go from sweet to bitter and try it all!
Hop BroThey're also announcing five beers for the Tenowa Night Market on April 18. Y Market's Hopping Shachi, Craft Rock's Alternative IPA, and Shiga Kogen Beer's Sono Ju make for a lineup that's great for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWait, they're even bringing event-only beers!? Five strong personalities? That's basically a drama about "what gets to be the main character today?"
Hop BroAnd with Hiroshima Neighborly's Rinki Sakurahen teased as Coming Soon, the fast turnover is almost cruel. Places like this make you keep wondering what the next drink will be, so you end up staying longer than planned.
MugiI get it... Now I want to tour Kokubunji's draft beers. Looking at a tap list like this is fun even before you drink anything.
Hop BroJust thinking about one drink at Gambrinus today and five at the Tenowa Night Market on April 18 is already great. Starting with a round of pilsner and then jumping to IPA might be the right move.
MugiAgreed! I already feel like I want to toast right now, so I'll go with the Meyer Lemon Lager, and you, Hop, take the Brown Sugar Sweet Stout!
