Okei Brewery Nippori updates 12 taps, with Sansho W-IPA now pouring
Okei Brewery Nippori released its tap lineup information for March 22, 2026.

Together with course information that includes all-you-can-drink options, it's a useful guide for choosing a beer for the weekend.
Hop BroA brewpub in Nippori has dropped a 12-tap update. Okei Brewery Nippori posted its March 22, 2026 lineup, and it's the kind of list that makes weekend pint picking very easy.
MugiWait, 12 kinds!? With that many, just looking at the menu would make me happy, but my brain would totally get lost!
Hop BroAnd most of it is house-brewed, so it's a lineup built for tasting side by side. Kölsch, Gose, Hazy, IPA, and amber-style beers are all spread out, which makes it strong for comparing very different beers at the same place.
MugiKölsch and Gose and all that sound like magic spells! What kind of taste differences are we talking about?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, Kölsch is crisp, Gose has a moderate tartness and saltiness, and Hazy tends to be more aromatic and full-bodied. So choosing by mood is one of the best things about Okei Brewery Nippori.
MugiI get it! Then 'Painapo!' sounds super energetic, and if it's made with pineapple juice, I'm already in tropical mode!
Hop BroAnd the addition of Minoh Beer’s Sansho W-IPA makes it even more interesting. It's a W-IPA that balances spiciness and citrus notes, so the aromatic layers should really stand out.
MugiWhat is that, sansho as in that sansho pepper!? A beer with a tingling aroma sounds way too interesting!
Hop BroExactly. And THREE ARROWS BREWING's Funky monkey Mngo leans into tropical mango character, so it's pushing in a sweeter-fruitier direction. Plus they’ve got all-you-can-drink course info too, so it works well for groups as well.
MugiIf it's close to the station and easy to pair with food, then you can basically finish the whole night in Nippori. I seriously want to think hard about what to drink first tonight!
Hop BroMaybe the right move is to start light with Nippori Kölsch, then make detours into IPA and Hazy, and take them in the order you want to drink them. This is definitely a lineup that makes me want to head to Okei Brewery Nippori right now.
MugiGot it! Today I'm also realizing one drink won't be enough! I'm already fully in the mood to go out for drinks!
On March 22, 2026, the brewpub Okei Brewery Nippori in Higashi-Nippori, Tokyo, announced its latest lineup on Instagram.
