Okei Brewery Nippori Updates May 1 Tap List: 10 House Brews and 2 Guest Beers
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Tokyo's Nippori, published its tap list for May 1, 2026. The lineup of 12 taps includes 10 of its own beers, such as Helles, IPA, Gose, and HAZY, plus two guest beers from KAIGAN BREWERY and Shonan Beer.
Hop BroThe Nippori brewpub's May 1 tap update is here. Okei Brewery Nippori is coming in with a total of 12 taps.
MugiWhoa, 12 taps? And house brews are the focus? Just looking at the menu makes my eyes dart all over the place!
Hop BroExactly. It's a lineup of 10 house-brewed beers plus two guest beers. From Helles and IPA to Gose and HAZY, it's like a style showcase.
MugiHuh? What's Gose? That sounds like some kind of science experiment name all of a sudden.
Hop BroThe thing is, it's a beer known for its tartness and saltiness. In something like Shio no Kaze Gose, that sharp sour edge gets a little salt on top, so it goes down easy even on a hot day.
MugiThat sounds easy to drink! So Pineapoo! and the HAZY styles are probably fruity and a bit soft and sweet, right?
Hop BroGood catch. It's a lineup to enjoy for its fruity character. OKEI IPA and Shonan American Style IPA highlight hop aroma, while HAZY gives you haze and juiciness.
MugiAnd with KAIGAN BREWERY and Shonan Beer as guests, doesn't that make comparison tasting way too easy?
Hop BroThat's exactly what makes it fun. You can move back and forth all night between the house beers' range of flavors and the guests' personalities, so instead of drink fatigue, you end up with more discoveries.
MugiThen I want the bamboo shoot fritters too, and I want to take my time with the all-you-can-drink course! Let's order everything, beer and food, today.
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, published its tap list for May 1, 2026. In the post, the brewery noted that on this Friday after the rain there are "seats available," with counter seats open and table seating also possible depending on the time of day.
The day's lineup totals 12 taps. House-brewed beers are the focus, with lager-style "Helles," the light-sounding "Chii Kara," the fruit-forward "Pineapoo!," the standard "OKEI IPA," the sour-salty "Shio no Kaze Gose," "Nippori Kölsch," which promises the easy drinkability typical of a Kölsch, and "feather," "Don★Sta," "Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge," and "AmberBalance," offering a wide range of styles.
There are two guest taps: KAIGAN BREWERY's "kintama IPL" and Shonan Beer’s "Shonan American Style IPA." The setup lets drinkers compare house brews and beers from other breweries side by side, making it a lineup where you can enjoy the differences in flavor as you work your way through it.
On the food side, the brewery also announced the return of the sold-out "bamboo shoot fritters." It is also offering an all-you-can-drink course paired with food for every beer on the list, with options ranging from a 2-hour course for 4,500 yen to a 10,000 yen course that can be used with no time limit on weekdays after 6 p.m. It sounds like a brewpub-perfect day for taking your time with both beer and food.
