Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji posts Aug. 18 tap list, previews Sept. 12 Hansharo Beer TTO
Beer Cafe Gambrinus, near Kokubunji Station, shared its Aug. 18 draft lineup and announced a Hansharo Beer tap takeover for Sept. 12. The list ranges from Orion and Shiga Kogen to Ise Kadoya and a Pilsner Urquell pour.
Hop BroToday's topic is the August 18 tap update from Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji. They posted 14 draft taps and even teased a Hansharo Beer TTO on September 12.
MugiWhat! Right by the south exit and they're serving that much temptation? Fourteen taps sounds like a full-on decision crisis!
Hop BroWhat makes it good is the range, from lager to porter all in one lineup. Orion The Draft, Shiga Kogen Beer Porter, and even Pilsner Urquell are on there.
MugiBut wait, Ushitora's Shibuya de Paradise and Blue Classic's Scheme both say Hazy IPA. That sounds like a fog machine with alcohol!
Hop BroNot a fog machine, just beer. Cloudy and juicy is the basic idea: softer bitterness, lots of fruity aroma, and an IPA that's easy to enjoy.
MugiOhh! So DD4D's Time After Time being a citrus and spice IPA means the aroma party starts before the first sip?
Hop BroPretty much. Isekadoya Beer's Dank Dank Dank!! goes full American IPA, while Gangi Brewing's Hop Summit as a West Coast IPA lands drier with a sharper bitterness.
MugiWhat kind of name is that! It sounds like the hops are doing push-ups! And with chef Icchi's homemade food pairing, this feels unfair.
Hop BroThat's the Gambrinus charm: easy domestic comparisons across styles. There's a best bitter from Hoppkotan, a saison from Johana Beer, and a weizen from Iwatekura Beer.
MugiAnd the Coming Soon list has Shiga Kogen's Indian Summer Saison, Nomcraft's Green Magic, and Ogna's Golden Ale? The trailer is stacked too?
Hop BroThen on September 12 from 3 to 11 p.m. it's a Hansharo Beer TTO, meaning every tap switches over to Hansharo, and they'll even serve Shizuoka-themed food.
MugiThat's it, I'm in. Let's hit the August 18 lineup now and aim for September 12 too. I need a pint in Kokubunji with you immediately!
