Two beers, including WILLIAMS Brewery's DAY SHIFT, added to Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe
Two new beers have been added to Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe City: WILLIAMS Brewery's session IPA DAY SHIFT and the herb ale Kamoremon from Otonari. At this shop, which stocks craft beers mainly from breweries in Saitama, today's tap lineup has been updated.
Hop BroThere was a tap lineup update at Entrance to Beer NOVICE near Kawagoe Station. WILLIAMS Brewery's DAY SHIFT and Kamoremon from Otonari have been added, and today's lineup is looking especially interesting.
MugiWait, they added two beers? And DAY SHIFT sounds like a drink before work!
Hop BroExactly. DAY SHIFT is a session IPA, and its 5.0% ABV makes it easy to drink. It has a citrusy orange character, and it's the kind of beer that stays light while still letting the hops' aroma come through.
MugiSo what exactly makes it a session IPA? "Light yet IPA" sounds contradictory!
Hop BroGood question. Simply put, it's an IPA with lower alcohol that you can keep drinking for a few rounds. You still get the bitterness and aroma you'd expect from an IPA, but it's not too heavy, so the idea is that you can keep a pace going even from lunchtime.
MugiI see! Then Kamoremon sounds interesting too. A herb ale makes me think it'd smell like a florist's shop, even though it's beer!
Hop BroThat's pretty much it. It's a herb ale made with chamomile and lemongrass. The light drinking profile is layered with a refreshing aroma, so it's exactly the kind of beer that should fit well when temperatures start to rise.
MugiWow, today's lineup ranges from citrus to herbs! And with THE MINIMAL and Almond Cinnamon Stout too, the tap list suddenly feels really luxurious!
Hop BroExactly, and one of Entrance to Beer NOVICE's strengths is its carefully selected lineup from 28 places across Saitama. The explanations are easy to understand, so it's approachable. The beer sommelier owner will guide you, and there's even a three-beer tasting set, so taking your time deciding is part of the fun.
MugiThat's amazing! Then I'll use the tasting set to line up DAY SHIFT and Kamoremon side by side and see which one disappears first!
Hop BroNice. They also have fish and chips and honey mustard chicken, so it's great that you can enjoy them with food. Starting with a citrus IPA and finishing with a herb beer is a flow that makes you want to drink, doesn't it?
MugiI'm completely sold! There are so many candidates for today's drink that it's hard to choose, but that's a happy problem. If I'm drinking in Kawagoe, I'm definitely making a stop today!
The tap lineup has been updated at Entrance to Beer NOVICE, a beer pub within walking distance of Kawagoe Station. An Instagram post announced that two new beers had joined the selection: DAY SHIFT and Kamoremon. Both are 5.0% ABV, making them easy to keep drinking.
DAY SHIFT (WILLIAMS Brewery) is a citrus-forward IPA with a smooth mouthfeel. It is introduced as a well-balanced beer, with a clean orange-like impression and satisfying drinkability. It should offer the brisk lightness of a session IPA while still letting you enjoy the hops' aroma and bitterness.
Kamoremon (Otonari) is a herb ale made with chamomile and lemongrass. Its defining features are a refreshing herbal aroma and a light, easy-drinking profile, making it a type that is especially easy to reach for as the weather warms up.
That day's tap lineup was as follows.
- THE MINIMAL (Nobody Brewing)
- Almond Cinnamon Stout (Chichibu Beer)
- DAY SHIFT (WILLIAMS Brewery)
- CARVAAN Altbier (CARVAAN Brewery)
- Kamoremon (Otonari)
- Asaka no Kisaki Ale (U.B.P Brewery)
