BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji posts July 4 tap list with 13 beers
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a craft-beer pub in Kokubunji, Tokyo, shared its July 4, 2026 business hours and today’s tap list. The Saturday schedule starts at 3:00 p.m., and the lineup spans 13 beers, from IPA and hazy styles to saison, bitter, stout, lager, and weizen.

MugiWhat! IPA to lager across 13 taps? That menu already sounds like it started the party without us.
Hop BroThe first one to clock is Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'Center of the Universe,' a real headliner IPA. Big name, big presence.
MugiWhat even is that name! And West Coast’s 'Wandering Boy' is a Double IPA? How is that different from regular IPA?
Hop BroA Double IPA usually turns up the hop aroma, bitterness, and body all at once. Think of it as extra IPA intensity with the volume knob pushed higher.
MugiOoh! Then what about Kyoto Brewing’s 'Shigoku Touzen,' that kinmokusei saison? The name alone smells fancy.
Hop BroSaison is usually light and dry, and this one layers in sweet osmanthus aroma. Also, Gangi Brewing’s 'Meet Me' is a single-hop pale that shows off one hop variety on purpose.
MugiWait, single-hop sounds like beer science class. So it’s basically the solo singer of the hop world?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not a bad way to put it. And this list also leans hard into aroma-driven picks like Kakegawa Farm’s Hojicha Ale and Shiokaze Blue Lab’s coffee stout 'Kokotsutsu.'
MugiRoasted tea, osmanthus, and coffee? That’s an aroma traffic jam! But with Baird’s bitter and North Island’s weizen, there are calm lanes too.
Hop BroExactly. There are two hazies from Ogna and Repubrew, plus Pilsner Urquell, so it feels bold but balanced. With upcoming pours like Amakusa Shiranui Weizen and Pineapple IPA, I’m already choosing my first glass.
MugiIf drink last order is midnight, I still have time to dream big. Tonight it’s Kokubunji beer crawl mode, no argument from me!
Tap List for July 4
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS in Kokubunji, Tokyo, has posted its business note and tap list for Saturday, July 4, 2026. The shop says it is operating as usual, with a later Saturday opening at 3:00 p.m. Hours for the day are 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., with last orders at 11:00 p.m. for food and midnight for drinks.
As a craft-beer specialist pub on the 6th floor near Kokubunji Station, the venue is set up for both a casual stop-in and a longer drinking session. The day’s board features 13 beers, giving a wide range of flavors rather than focusing on a single style family.
Today’s taps
- Shiga Kogen Beer, “Center of the Universe” IPA
- Kakegawa Farm, “Hojicha Ale”
- West Coast Brewing, “Wandering Boy” West Coast Double IPA
- Kyoto Brewing, “Shigoku Touten” Saison with osmanthus
- Baird Beer, “Public House Bitter”
- Oguna, “Oguna Hazy” Hazy IPA
- Shiokaze Blue Lab, “Kakatsutsutsu” Coffee Stout
- Touchdown, “Rock 55th Anniversary Lager”
- Hachinohe Beer, “Citrus Paradise IPA” IPA with grapefruit
- Gangi Brewing, “Meet Me” Single-Hop Pale Ale
- North Island, Weizen
- Repubrew, “Canpai Hazy” Hazy IPA
- Pilsner Urquell
The range is broad enough to build a tasting flight without losing the thread of the lineup. For hop-forward drinkers, the Shiga Kogen IPA, West Coast Brewing’s double IPA, and Repubrew’s hazy IPA give three different takes on bitterness, body, and aroma. For something more aromatic or unconventional, the hojicha ale and the saison with osmanthus stand out. The coffee stout and bitter add darker, more restrained options, while North Island’s Weizen and Touchdown’s anniversary lager offer a cleaner finish for those looking to step away from heavy hop character.
The post also notes a coming-soon set of beers: Mojiko Retro Beer’s “Amakusa Shiranui Weizen,” Hop Dog’s “Pineapple IPA,” and Our Brewing’s “Starmine” Hazy IPA. That suggests the tap list may keep shifting soon after this update.
For beer fans in Tokyo, GAMBRINUS remains the kind of place where a quick stop can turn into a longer tasting session. The Kokubunji location, the focused beer selection, and the late Saturday hours make it a practical choice for anyone tracking fresh taps rather than just looking for a single flagship pint.
