Gambrinus in Kokubunji opens seven new taps on Aug. 29, previews Hansharo Beer TTO for Sept. 12
Beer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji shared its Aug. 29 service update and tap lineup. The post highlights seven new kegs, summer-limited dishes, and a Hansharo Beer tap takeover scheduled for Sept. 12.
Hop BroBeer Cafe Gambrinus in Kokubunji is doing seven fresh tappings on August 29. One minute from the south exit with a lineup like this is exactly how people accidentally stay all night.
MugiWhat! A sixth-floor beer pub one minute from the station is pulling this off? And there’s no cover charge? My wallet just unclenched.
Hop BroThe range is huge. From Black Tide’s Miyate Spirit Ver.3.0 to Iwatekura Beer’s Midsummer Saison and Oni Densetsu’s Sweet Strawberry, the style spread is seriously wide.
MugiI kind of get saison, but DDH Double Hazy IPA sounds like a spell. Do I need a wand before I order it?
Hop BroNo wand needed. It’s basically a hazy IPA with extra hop additions for more aroma. Think of Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Heavy Climb as a turbo aroma build and you’re close.
MugiOhhh! Then Craft Rock’s Malibu, a Smoked Mexican Lager, sounds like a beach party and a barbecue got poured into one glass?
Hop BroExactly. And Ushitora’s Looks Bitter, Not Bitter, A Little Bitter Schwarz is a black beer that doesn’t need to scare you, while Swan Lake Beer’s Amber Swan Ale is there too, so dark and amber are both covered.
MugiThe taps already had me overwhelmed, and then they add bitter melon pith tempura, pike conger fish and chips, and mizu shingen mochi? Those summer-only bites are fighting dirty!
Hop BroAnd those seasonal dishes end that day. The place runs 3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., with food last order at 11:00 p.m. and drinks at midnight, plus there’s a tap takeover teaser for Hansharo Beer on September 12.
MugiSo we go today and lock in September 12 too? That is way too many reasons to drink, and my feet are already heading for Kokubunji Station.
Hop BroThey’ve also still got Ushitora’s Sachi Hop and Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Team Up IPA on the existing taps, so I’d start with Midsummer Saison, move to Heavy Climb, and finish on the Schwarz. Building tonight’s first pint from this list is already fun.
MugiThat order wins. I want Sweet Strawberry and Malibu too, and at this point I can already see our future cheers at Gambrinus.
