Okei Brewery Nippori posts June 3 12-tap lineup with Shima Brewery, Nomcraft, and Shiga Kogen guests
The Nippori brewpub's June 3 post lists 12 taps in total, mixing house beers with guest pours from Shima Brewery, Nomcraft Brewing, and Tamamura Honten. The post also notes Wednesday service in June and a relaxed, reservation-free atmosphere.
Hop BroA strong tap list just landed in Nippori: Okei Brewery Nippori posted its 12 taps for June 3, and the mix of house pours and guest kegs looks seriously good.
MugiWait, 12 taps at once? That is exactly the kind of menu that makes me stand there acting like I know how to choose!
Hop BroThe guest side is stacked too: Shima Brewery's Karigane Tea Saison, Nomcraft Pale Ale, and Shiga Kogen IPA, so the styles are nicely spread out.
MugiWhoa, but saison sounds like a word that expects me to wear a fancy hat. What is it actually?
Hop BroPut simply, it's a farmhouse-style beer with a light and spicy character and a dry finish, which is why tea notes can work so well in it.
MugiOhh, so with karigane tea in there, it's like refreshing beer meets calm tea vibes? That sounds weirdly elegant!
Hop BroExactly, and when you add Helles, Nippori Kolsch, and the brewery's own OKEI IPA, you really see the range from clean lagers to quirky stuff.
MugiAlso, Gorilla Cola and Don Pota? The name power alone is incredible. I'm entertained before the first sip!
Hop BroAnother useful note: June includes Wednesday opening, and they're running relaxed service without reservations most days. Just remember June 16 and 17 are closed, and no biking there if you want a beer.
MugiPerfect. Then I want a style flight and I'm going saison, pale ale, then IPA like I'm running a delicious science experiment.
Hop BroThat's the move. Finish sharp with Shiga Kogen IPA or keep it breezy with Nomcraft Pale Ale; either way, I'm thirsty already.
MugiSame here, let's go to Nippori and take our time with draft beer like it's our reward for surviving the week.
