Gambrinus in Kokubunji lists 13 taps, with Blueberry Festa through August 1
Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji, Tokyo, posted its July 25, 2026 service update. The beer pub opens at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, with 13 beers on tap and a Blueberry Festa food lineup available through August 1.
Hop BroKokubunji's Beer Cafe Gambrinus is on fire today. On July 25 they've got 13 beers on tap, and the Blueberry Festa is running too.
MugiWhat! A Blueberry Festa at a beer pub? That's like a summer fair and a taproom crashing into each other!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. From Ushitora's Hops Sniper IPA to Touchdown's Shirakaba Beat and Ogna's Alps Weizen, the style range is huge.
MugiHold on, Yokohama Beer's Hamakuro is a Session Black IPA, right? Is it dark, light, bitter, or having an identity crisis?
Hop BroFair question. 'Session' means lower ABV and easy to keep drinking, and Black IPA mixes roast character with hop bite, so it's basically dark but breezy.
MugiOhh! Then Trail Current, the New Zealand IPA from Y.Market, and Be Easy's Tohoku 6 Hop Hazy IPA should bring tropical vibes, right?
Hop BroExactly, and Flora Fermentation's Koropokkuru is a saison with spruce chips. That adds a foresty aroma from spruce, which makes it pretty wild.
MugiSpruce? We're drinking trees now!? Okay, maybe not literally, but forest-in-a-glass sounds impossible to ignore!
Hop BroAnd the preview list is stacked too. Swan Lake's White Swan Weizen, Our Brewing's Paradox West Coast IPA, even Isekadoya's Brown Ale. The coming-soon lineup is no joke.
MugiI'm already stuck choosing from thirteen, and now I have to plan for the next rotation too? That's a full tap-list traffic jam in my brain!
Hop BroThen add the limited food: fried Camembert with local blueberry jam, plus a blueberry and marshmallow hot sandwich through August 1. That sweet-tart food pair is just asking for beer.
MugiIf Saturday runs from 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., we can start with Pilsner Urquell and finish on Hops Sniper IPA. We're going to Kokubunji tonight, right?
