Okei Brewery Nippori on April 21: 11 House-Brewed Beers and Shonan IPA on the Tap List
On Okei Brewery Nippori's updated tap list for April 21, 2026, 11 house-brewed beers were joined by a guest IPA from Shonan Beer. An all-you-can-drink course was also offered, making it an easy place to compare beers in true brewpub style.
Hop BroA Nippori brewpub with 11 house-brewed beers out of 12 taps is already pretty bold. Just reading Okei Brewery Nippori's April 21 tap list makes my mouth water.
MugiWow! Eleven house-brewed beers? The place is basically a little beer museum! And they even have a guest beer too? That's almost too generous!
Hop BroExactly. Having classics like Helles and Nippori Kölsch means you can set a baseline for the drinking experience first. From there, following the range of flavors lets you see the brewery's personality.
MugiHuh! But what is Kölsch? It suddenly sounds German, and my brain is already bubbling!
Hop BroKölsch is a crisp, easygoing style that is technically an ale but drinks a bit like a lager. That's why it tends to appeal to people looking for a light, refreshing drinking profile.
MugiI see! Then Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge and Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge sound like the hops are running wild just from the names!
Hop BroExactly. HAZY refers to a cloudy IPA style that lets hop aroma take center stage. In particular, types with full-on hop aroma often bring out citrus or tropical notes.
MugiWhat! Then Shio no Kaze Gose sounds like it could charge you up with salt just from the name!
Hop BroGose is characterized by acidity and saltiness, and that's what makes it so good on hot days. When you get acidity and saltiness like that, the contrast with sweeter or hoppier beers becomes incredibly fun.
MugiAnd they even have an all-you-can-drink course from 2 hours all the way to unlimited? This brewpub is seriously going all in! I'd want to stay all day and pair it with the food!
Hop BroAnd if you finish by comparing it with Shonan American Style IPA, the strong bitterness and hop aroma make a great closing note. Eleven house-brewed beers plus a guest IPA, this is definitely a place to go beer-by-beer with someone.
