At the 6th-floor beer pub near Kokubunji Station, you can take your time comparing distinctive labels from Japan and abroad.
Hop BroToday Kokubunji's 12 beers on tap are hot. Beer Cafe Gambrinus lined up all its draft beers at once on March 26.
MugiWhat! Twelve kinds? With that many, I'd panic trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroFirst to watch are the three opened today. Baird's "Brewer's Nightmare Rye IPA," Craft Beer Base's "English IPA," and Kagoya Brewery's "Paradise Hazy."
MugiWhat is that! A Rye IPA sounds kind of bready? And there's English IPA and Hazy too, so the styles are all jammed together!
Hop BroRye malt tends to bring out a spicy aroma, and it adds a sharp edge to the IPA bitterness. The English IPA has a solid grain character, while the Hazy leans juicier, so they're pretty contrasting.
MugiOh wow! So it's perfect for side-by-side tasting. Start with the bitterness hitting hard, then move to something softly sweet, and it sounds fun!
Hop BroAnd the existing taps are strong too. There's a coffee stout, Black Tide's West Coast IPA, and even Pilsner Urquell, so the range is ridiculously wide.
MugiWait, from stout to lager!? That's basically a world tour in one place. Feels like it's for everyone who wants both sweet and bitter beers!
Hop BroExactly. The shop is on the 6th floor near Kokubunji Station, and what I like is that it's calm despite being right by the station. They also suggest pairings with food, so you can enjoy it on its own or with a meal.
MugiThen tonight it's usable as both the first stop and the finish! I feel like my throat already remembers Gambrinus, and I want to go drinking there soon!
Kokubunji's craft beer specialty shop, Beer Cafe Gambrinus, shared its business information and draft beer lineup for Thursday, March 26, 2026. Business hours are 17:00-25:00 (food L.O. 23:00 / drink L.O. 24:00).
The highlight of the day is the three labels marked "opened today" in the post.
- Baird Beer "Brewer's Nightmare Rye IPA"
- Craft Beer Base "English IPA"
- Kagoya Brewery "Paradise Hazy (Hazy IPA)"
In addition, the existing taps are varied. Craft Bank "Coffee Stout," Black Tide "Kearashi Ver. 2.0 (West Coast IPA)," Baird Beer "Angry Boy Brown Ale," Hiroshima Neighbourly "Hiroshima Sunrise Lager (Amber Lager)," Novoru Brewing "Hodoku (Weizenbock)," Cyclade Brewing "Hanami (Specialty Saison)," Number Nine "#9 Hazy (Hazy Pale Ale)," Blue Classic "Ura Tiger Viva Haze (Hazy IPA)," and even Pilsner Urquell are all available, creating a lineup that covers everyone from bitterness-first drinkers to malt lovers.
The shop is on the 6th floor of the Dai-46 Tokyo Building, 3-16-5 Minami-cho, Kokubunji-shi, Tokyo. Although it is right by the station, it has the calm atmosphere of a beer pub where you can drink at leisure, and its quick keg turnover and food pairing suggestions are part of the appeal. The post also announced new menu items, making it a good choice not only for beer on its own but also for a drink paired with food. It is the kind of tap list that works well both as the first stop of the night and for a relaxed late-session drink.
