Hop BroAt Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Creek Lager has just been connected. It's an amber Vienna lager with a really pleasant malt aroma.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Creek Lager already makes me curious! It sounds strong somehow, but it's a lager?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The key point is its caramel and biscuit aroma. Instead of a flashy hop attack, it's the kind that comes in gently with the sweetness and umami of the grain.
MugiBiscuits? Does it really taste like sweets? Wait, what does a biscuit-like flavor in beer even mean?
Hop BroIt doesn't mean actual cookies are added. It's the toasty character that comes from roasting the malt. And because it has a soft and smooth mouthfeel, the aroma doesn't make it feel harsh.
MugiI see! That sounds easy for beginners to drink too. And at 5.5% ABV, it feels like the kind of beer that makes you want another one!
Hop BroAnd the tap list for the day is fun too. With a five-beer lineup, it's not just lagers; pale ales, weizens, and smoky styles are all there, so even choosing is part of the enjoyment.
MugiWhat, that many? The fact that you can choose by mood is the best. Light today, bold tomorrow, that kind of thing!
Hop BroExactly. For example, the lineup includes Hoshino Seisakusho's Pale Ale, Nutori Brewing's Chou Nutope, CARVAAN Brewery's Spelt Weizen, and Tokorozawa Beer's Smokin', so the styles are nicely varied.
MugiThat's pretty hot for Kawagoe! If it's easy to stop by near the station, you can swing by after shopping!
Hop BroAnd since it's just 3 minutes from Kawagoe Station and close to Hon-Kawagoe Station too, it's perfect for a pre-meetup drink. The hours, 17:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on weekends and holidays, are convenient too.
MugiI already want to drink it! While keeping in mind that it's closed on the 29th, I want to go after the next day off and start with the Creek Lager!
Hop BroNice. Start slowly with Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Creek Lager, then move on to the next glass depending on your mood. Faced with this lineup in Kawagoe, it makes your throat excited first.
