Gubi Gabu

Brewery tap for Kinosaki beers, though they are available from bottle and tap all around town. I was not impressed with the beers here, and I think it was the serving conditions. The stout tasted decent, but the other three were far less impressive here than when I had them in bottles or at festivals. At least they have wi-fi. If you are in town, it might be worth a quick stop, but I would recommend paying less and drinking from the bottles.

An OK place. This is, I gather, the brewery tap for Kinosaki beers. The standard four available on tap and in bottle. Able to get the beer in paper cups for take-away. Typical pricing. Friendly staff, English spoken. Had one beer on tap - the stout - and it tasted fine. This brewery’s beers are available in most shops on the Main Street of this town (those that sell good and alcohol, that is) so this place is not the only option for hear beers. They also have food, coffee, other booze options. Kind of a cafe vibe. This place is certainly not a destination in and of itself, but it is worth checking out if you’re in town.

This is the brewery tap, but the beer is available everywhere in Kinosaki. That’s a good thing, because I recommend trying it in bottles. The draught at Gubi Gabu is rotten - they don’t seem to clean their draft lines. So it’s kind of the worst place to try the brewery’s beers.

Kinosaki beer’s new taproom/restaurant/ cafe opened about 6 months ago, moving from it’s previous 2nd floor location in front of the station. The new location is bright & airy with high ceilings, concrete floors plus lots of wood and a tatami room in the back. An English menu is available but like most tourist towns it is a bit pricey with lunch sets about 1500+ yen, beers 480 a glass & 680 a mug. Take out beers are the town tandard 300 yen small/500 yen large. The hamburger steak lunch set was tasty, 1730 yen with the Tajima beef being top quality. A good place to kill time in town.
