BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji posts 13 drafts for its Okinawa Fair
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a beer pub near Kokubunji Station, published its August 5 tap list. With the Okinawa Fair underway, the bar is pouring Orion The Draft plus a broad lineup of IPAs, a Weizen, cider, and more.
Hop BroBEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji just dropped 13 taps for the Okinawa fair, and that lineup is seriously stacked.
MugiWhat! So it's not just draft Orion? Thirteen pours sounds like a festival hiding on the sixth floor!
Hop BroExactly. They've got Orion The Draft as the base, then Mata Ashita Hazy IPA, White Swan Weizen, even Pilsner Urquell, so the range of styles is the fun part.
MugiWhoa! But Hazy IPA and Weizen and Dortmunder all sound like my tongue needs a warm-up first!
Hop BroThink of it like this: Hazy IPA is juicy and soft, Weizen is fluffy and wheaty, and Dortmunder drinks crisp like lager, basically a map of flavors.
MugiNo way, that's like a beer subway map! So what do I transfer to for goya champuru?
Hop BroIf you want sharper bitterness, go for Paradox or 69IPA; if you want something with food-friendly balance, Kunitachi's 2006, a Kolsch-yeast dark ale, is a fun pick.
MugiHold on, Kolsch-yeast dark ale sounds like a spell. I'd run out of mana before ordering it!
Hop BroBasically, it's easy-drinking like Kolsch yeast beers, but with a little more color and malt, so just remember friendly dark-ish and you're set.
MugiThat I can do! And it's open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., with Wonder: Mosaic coming soon, so that's basically a bonus hop trailer!
Hop BroAnd the Okinawa fair runs through the 15th with Okinawa soba, rafute, and sata andagi, so you can build a full Okinawa beer crawl in one stop.
MugiYeah, that's it, I'm done for. My stomach and my throat both voted yes, and now I totally want a Kokubunji cheers tonight!
