Hop BroNippori's Okei Brewery Nippori just dropped its July 29 tap list, and with 9 house beers plus 2 guests, 11 taps is a seriously strong lineup.
MugiWhat! Eleven taps total on a scorching day like this? I'd start feeling thirsty before I even picked my first pour!
Hop BroThe range is the fun part, from HELLES to HAZY. You've got Nippori Kolsch, OKEI IPA, Hyuganatsu Splash, and Arakawa HAZY Underbridge, all with totally different personalities.
MugiHold on, HELLES and HAZY sound like spell names. They're both beer, so what's the difference?
Hop BroIn simple terms, crisp versus cloudy. HELLES is bright, clean, and easygoing like a pale lager, while HAZY is cloudy and packed with juicy hop aroma.
MugiNo way, cloudy is correct? If I saw that first, I'd be like, did someone forget to rinse the glass?!
Hop BroAnd then the guests show up, REPUBREW and OTAMA BREWING. BLUES and Majonoodekakestout add outside character, so you can compare them with the house-made beers.
MugiI'm also curious about this brewpub setup. So it's a bar and a brewery together... basically a beer cafeteria with a mini factory?
Hop BroThat's pretty close, a brewery-attached pub. In Higashi-Nippori, you can pair fresh local beer with food, and today's list even runs from Steam Ale to Megante, so you can start light and go deeper.
MugiI'm sold, first pour is Nippori Kolsch for me, then I'm jumping to Arakawa HAZY Underbridge. This article made me want a drink immediately!
Hop BroThat's the right route. Finish with the guest stout and you've got the full Nippori crawl. Makes you want to check what's on tap and head over right now.
July 29 Tap List
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Nippori, released its tap list for July 29. The board features 11 beers in total: nine house brews and two guest beers. It is the kind of lineup that works both for a first cold pint on a hot day and for a slower tasting session.
The house lineup includes `Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge`, `Transit In`, `Helles`, `OKEI IPA`, `Hinata-Natsu Splash`, `Nippori Kölsch`, `Steam Ale`, `Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge`, and `Megante`. From light, crisp names like Helles and Kölsch to HAZY and IPA entries, the list shows the range expected from a working brewpub.
The guest taps are `BLUES` from `REPUBREW` and `Majonoodekakestout` from `OTAMA BREWING`. Those outside pours add contrast to the house beers and make the lineup more interesting for comparison tasting. With brewing on site and food available as well, Okei Brewery Nippori remains a place where the tap list itself is reason enough to visit.
For beer fans, the key point is simple: the current taps are the draw. In Nippori, this is a lineup that lets you move between local house character and guest-beer individuality in one stop.
