Gambrinus in Kokubunji Offers a Diverse Tap List on October 24
Beer Cafe Gambrinus, a craft beer pub in Kokubunji, Tokyo, has announced its tap list for October 24, 2026. The selection ranges from hazy IPAs and dark beers to a Japanese rice lager and an unconventional chocolate-mint white stout.
Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus, right by the south exit of Kokubunji Station, has a diverse 14-tap lineup today!
MugiWhoa! What kind of beer is Hino Brewing's Big Time Ale?
Hop BroIt is a hazy IPA with a cloudy look and big hop aroma. In short, it is all about juicy hop character.
MugiHazy? What is that? Is the beer foggy? What if my eyesight gets blurry too? So it means a cloudy IPA, right?
Hop BroNo worries—your vision stays sharp! The beer itself is softly cloudy and can seem fruit-juice-like. Meanwhile, Izumi Brewery's roasty Schwarz takes a totally different direction.
MugiAromatic IPA or dark beer—I'm already stuck! Kunitachi Brewery's Japanese Rice Lager really uses rice, right?
Hop BroExactly. Rice can give it a lighter impression, making it easy to pair with food. It is ideal for finding a food pairing with the chef's Japanese dishes.
MugiAnd a chocolate-mint white stout?! DD4D's Nani ga Suki? is practically demanding to be dessert!
Hop BroIts chocolate-and-mint character makes a fun after-dinner choice. Shiga Kogen's IPA is also served by hand pump, giving it another kind of texture.
MugiIt is only about a minute from Kokubunji's south exit, so Big Time Ale first, then chocolate mint… no, I want them all! Let's go to Gambrinus tonight!
