Kokubunji's BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS refreshes its 12 draft beers; opens at 3 p.m. on Showa Day
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, near the south exit of Kokubunji Station, released its tap list dated April 21. It currently has 12 beers on tap, from Hazy IPA to Pilsner Urquell, and plans to open at 3 p.m. on April 29, Showa Day.
Hop BroRight by the south exit of Kokubunji Station, BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS updated its tap list on April 21. There are 12 draft beers on tap now, and it is a pretty impressive lineup.
MugiWait, 12 draft beers!? With that many, I'd be happy but completely unable to decide!
Hop BroAnd the selection is good too. It runs from Hazy IPA to Pilsner Urquell, with a wide range that includes Kakegawa Farm's Forever Love, Nomcraft's Buffalo Bandit, and Pilsner Urquell.
MugiWhat! I know Hazy IPA means it's cloudy, but why is it so popular?
Hop BroExactly. Its appeal is that it looks hazy and has a juicy aroma. Instead of hitting hard with bitterness, it's the kind of beer you enjoy for tropical notes and fruity hop character.
MugiOh! So Craftrock's Double IPA is more of a punchy one?
Hop BroThat's right. Double IPAs usually have a stronger hop presence and often a higher ABV. Here, Joy Hopozeits and the coming-soon Space Pocket from Nara Brewing are in that category, which is exciting.
MugiWait, there are coming-soon beers too!? They're still adding more power? This beer lineup is serious!
Hop BroAnd the bar's strengths aren't just the beer. You can drink with snacks made by a Japanese cuisine chef, and with full non-smoking seating, free Wi-Fi, and no cover charge, it's easy to settle in. Being just a 1-minute walk from Kokubunji Station is another plus.
MugiNice! Opening at 3 p.m. on Showa Day makes early drinking perfect! On April 29, I'd probably end up staying longer than I planned, and now I really want a drink too!
