Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji updates 13 taps, from Juicy Parade to Pilsner Urquell
Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji published its July 15, 2026 tap list, featuring Japanese craft beers alongside Pilsner Urquell, with five more beers listed as coming soon.
Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji just refreshed 13 draft taps today. It's mostly Japanese craft beer, with Pilsner Urquell in the lineup too.
MugiWhat! That lineup by the station is way too strong. Is there a secret beer headquarters on the sixth floor or what!?
Hop BroThe headline beer is Ushiku Brewery's Juicy Parade, and you've also got a pale ale from Kakegawa Farm and a brown ale from North Island in a seriously broad tap list.
MugiWhoa, but what even is a juicy IPA? That sounds like beer wandered into a fruit market.
Hop BroIt usually doesn't mean juice is the star. It means the hops throw off big tropical aromas before you even take a sip.
Hop BroAnd Ushitora's Bababa Weizen is a wheat beer that gives you esters from fermentation thanks to the yeast.
MugiWhat is that! Esters from fermentation suddenly made this sound like chemistry class. We're still talking about beer, right!?
Hop BroSimple version: that's the fruity yeast character that can come across like banana or clove. It's one reason weizen feels soft and friendly.
MugiOkay, that makes the Japanese Herb Ale Sansho from Iwate Kura and Shiokaze Blue Lab's coffee stout Kokotsutsu sound like all-star wild cards.
Hop BroExactly, and with Bay Brewing's Bay Pilsner Haratau Edition plus Pilsner Urquell, lager drinkers are covered too.
MugiAnd the Coming Soon list has Shonan's Schwarz, Repubrew's Coastal Crush Hazy IPA, and Shiga Kogen waiting, so the next round is booked already!
Hop BroThey're open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., so I'd start with Juicy Parade and finish with Pilsner Urquell. Let's go drink this.
