The brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list for Friday, April 10. Alongside 10 house-brewed beers, guest kegs from Miyazaki Hideji Beer and Caghiya Brewery are also on tap, offering a wide lineup ranging from lager to hazy, gose, and IPA.
Hop BroNippori's Okei Brewery Nippori has released its April 10 tap list. Ten house brews plus two guest beers make it a pretty satisfying lineup, right?
MugiWhoa, 10 house brews!? That alone makes it hard to choose, but what should I start with first?
Hop BroIf you're entering, go with the Helles or feather. A light lager-style beer will gently set the tone for the place.
MugiHelles? What is that, a lager style thing? This suddenly feels like the start of a beer lesson, and I'm nervous!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's the crisp, easy-drinking type. Fermentation leans toward lower temperatures, so rather than aroma, clarity and balance tend to come forward, which makes it a strong choice for a first pour.
MugiOhhh! Then Pineapo! and Shinsan Ganku are the kind of beers where even the names already make me curious about the taste!
Hop BroThat's the fun part, because they're aiming for fruitiness and complexity. It's also interesting that something like Shio no Kaze Gose lets you play with the balance of acidity and saltiness.
MugiAcidity and saltiness? So it's a salty beer!? But it sounds like one sip could change my whole world!
Hop BroExactly, and on top of that there are hazy styles like Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, so you can build a flow that really lets you enjoy the hop aroma.
MugiThe guest beers make the side-by-side tasting fun too. I'm curious about Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Katakabe Oktoberfest and Caghiya Brewery's DOUBLE DECKER IPA!
Hop BroOn a day like this, the right move is to go from light to rich in order. If you can drink a fresh pour in Nippori, that's enough to make you want to raise a glass right away.
MugiYeah, tasting them on the spot is the best! Looking at today's menu, my throat is already reacting to the tap list!
