Toko Brown opened at NOVICE in Kawagoe, with a Brown Ale from Tokorozawa newly on tap
The beer pub "Entrance to Beer NOVICE" in Kawagoe announced a new tap beer, "Toko Brown," in a post at 11:51 on March 15. It is characterized by its dark brown color and mild drinkability, and the tap lineup that day featured five distinctive beers from breweries around Saitama.
Hop BroWe’ve got new tap news from NOVICE in Kawagoe, and the star is Toko Brown on tap!
MugiWhoa! It already sounds delicious from the name! Which brewery is it from?
Hop BroIt’s a beer from Tokoro Beer Brewery in Tokorozawa, and the style is brown ale with 5.5% ABV.
MugiHmm, but is brown ale as heavy as dark beer? What does mild drinkability feel like?
Hop BroIt looks deep dark brown and rich, but in practice it’s the kind that drinks smoothly with moderate bitterness and a toasty aroma.
MugiThat’s a gap-moe beer! Anything else on that day? I heard it was a five-tap lineup!
Hop BroYep, there are Raspberry Light, Weizen (Hana), Fukaya Niboto Ale, Toko Brown, and Lapsang - a set of five distinctive local beers.
MugiWhat is that! Is there a world where niboto turns into beer?! And Lapsang has a way too strong name!
Hop BroThat’s the best part of a tap list - if you drink from light to toasty, the comparison tasting is fun.
MugiIt’s close to Kawagoe Station and also easy to get to from Hon-Kawagoe, so that’s perfect! It’s ideal for a spring bar crawl!
MugiI’ve decided - I’m starting with Toko Brown! I want my first drink right now!
Hop BroThen let’s meet at NOVICE and toast with a toasty pint - today is settled as Kawagoe craft beer night.
At "Entrance to Beer NOVICE" (2F-B, PONO Building, 27-3 Wakita-cho, Kawagoe City), a 3-minute walk from Kawagoe Station and a 5-minute walk from Hon-Kawagoe Station, the tap lineup has been updated. The star this time is Toko Brown from Tokoro Beer Brewery in Tokorozawa.
In the post, Toko Brown is described as having a "deep dark-brown color," "moderate bitterness and toasty malt aroma," and a "mild flavor." Despite its rich color, it drinks smoothly, and it promises to be an easy-to-enjoy brown ale whether paired with food or enjoyed on its own. ABV is 5.5%.
The tap list for the day consists of the following five beers:
- Raspberry Light (U.B.P Brewery)
- Weizen (Hana) (Hoshino Seisakusho (Mugi))
- Fukaya Niboto Ale (Chichibu Beer)
- Toko Brown (Tokoro Beer Brewery)
- Lapsang (Tokorozawa Beer)
From a light, refreshing pour to roasty malt character and distinctive local labels, it is a lineup that fits the shop’s usual appeal of making comparison tastings fun. On weekdays it is open from 17:00 to 24:00, and on weekends and holidays from 15:00 to 24:00. If you are looking for a beer for the approach of spring, this seems like a place worth stopping by on a night out in Kawagoe.
