The beer pub "Beer Cafe Gambrinus / BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS" in Kokubunji, Tokyo, announced today's draft beers on Instagram. Centered on Hokkaido's Oni Densetsu local beer "Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver. Mk2," the lineup features a wide range of distinctive beers from around the country.
Hop BroToday at Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji, Tokyo, Oni Densetsu's local beer "Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver. Mk2" is being tapped.
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds intense! "Kurooni Stout" has some real presence before you even taste it!
Hop BroThe post describes it as an American stout, so you can imagine the weight of the roasted malt. Even though it's dark, it might go down surprisingly smoothly.
MugiRoasted malt? What's that like? Something like the aroma from toasted grains?
Hop BroExactly. It's the malt that gives off coffee- or cacao-like aromas, and here it should also be linked to a calm, easy-drinking finish. The "blackness" of a stout shows up not just in appearance, but in aroma and aftertaste too.
MugiWow! And with a whole lineup of distinctive beers on the same tap list, just looking at the menu feels like a meeting is about to start!
Hop BroFor example, there are Be Easy's Aomori Ale Green Tea Edition, Daisen G Beer's Yuzu Weiss, and even Minoh Beer's Rockin' Monkey IPA, so the breadth of styles is impressive.
MugiWheat IPA, fruit weizen, and all that? It's like a beer-name exhibition! Every one is different, and I'm happily overwhelmed!
Hop BroAnd it's not just new releases either. Seeing Czech classics like Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus 12° is very much in keeping with this place. Putting new and old side by side really adds depth to the tasting experience.
MugiEven the Coming Soon! section is unfair. Just following the tap turnover gives you so much reason to keep coming back!
Hop BroWith this lineup in Kokubunji, the right move is to start with Kurooni Stout and then drift toward whatever catches your eye next. The fact that the next beer is hard to choose is exactly what makes me want to go.
MugiYeah, my throat is already thinking about beer! Tonight I'm checking the draft lineup and I want to drink everything from the dark stuff to the bright stuff!
