Okei Brewery Nippori Releases April 4 Tap List: 10 House Brews and 2 Guest Beers
Okei Brewery Nippori, the brewpub in Nippori, Tokyo, has published its tap list for Saturday, April 4. In addition to house-brewed Kölsch and IPA, guest beers from ISEKADOYA BREWERY, Ushitora Brewery, and Choryo Craft Beer are also on the lineup, making it a setup that invites side-by-side tasting.
Hop BroThe 12-tap lineup for Nippori is here. Okei Brewery Nippori has released the list for Saturday, April 4, and with 10 house beers plus 2 guest beers, it sounds seriously worth drinking through.
MugiWait, that many? 10 house beers is already a lot, and they’ve got guests too?
Hop BroThey do. The first one that catches your eye is Nippori Kölsch. It’s light and easy to drink, but still has a proper malt character, like the face of a brewpub in one glass.
MugiKölsch, huh? So it’s basically a refined, crisp beer?
Hop BroRoughly, yes. What makes it interesting is that they also have Salt Wind Gose. Gose is a style with saltiness and acidity, and it resets your palate on a hot day or when you’ve had a few already.
MugiThey put salt in it too!? That’s interesting... salty-sour styles are the kind that get kind of addictive, right?
Hop BroAnd they’ve got Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge too. Hazy styles are cloudy and put hop aroma out front, so they lean into juiciness. By contrast, WEST COAST IPA is all about sharpness and bitterness, so even though both are IPA, they’re very different personalities.
MugiOh wow, even within IPA they’re like different people! It would be fun to compare aroma lovers and bitterness lovers side by side.
Hop BroAnd the guests are great too. There’s ISEKADOYA BREWERY’s flesh pressed beyond the pacific, Ushitora Brewery’s Mr. Kushida's White Grape Saison, and even a beer from Choryo Craft Beer. It turns the whole thing into a little tasting journey. Saison’s appeal is that spicy character and dry finish that come from fermentation.
MugiThat’s amazing! It’s a lineup where you can’t stop comparing beers. A night of settling in and drinking in Nippori sounds pretty perfect.
Hop BroExactly, and they even have all-you-can-drink courses, so there’s fun in taking your time with it too. Today I’m in the mood to start at Okei Brewery Nippori and work my way through everything, from the first pour to the last IPA.
MugiI’m totally in that mood too! It was the kind of article that makes you want to say, let’s toast in Nippori tonight.

Looking at the lineup, it spans Kölsch, Gose, Hazy, IPA, Amber, Saison, and West Coast IPA, so each glass brings a different expression. It is a lineup that suits both people who want to confirm the character of the house beers and those who want to compare the differences in mouthfeel through the guest beers.
The post also included information about all-you-can-drink courses. Options range from a simple two-hour course to a plan that includes all beers and food, plus a course that can be used without a time limit after 6 p.m., making it easy to choose based on group size and length of stay. For a night spent settling in and drinking in the Nippori area, it sounds like a brewpub that is easy to use in the classic sense.
The post also included a note about coming by bicycle. While the location near the station makes it easy to stop in, if you plan to drink, it is worth considering your means of transportation. It seems like the kind of day best enjoyed by following each tap’s personality in order and taking in the atmosphere of the place along with the beer.
