A Saitama Rapid Railway 25th Anniversary Kölsch Is Set to Be Tapped at COEDO BREWERY THE RESTAURANT
COEDO BREWERY THE RESTAURANT has brewed a limited beer to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Saitama Rapid Railway's opening. Based on a Kölsch and made with wild strawberries from Saitama Prefecture, this rosé-gold beer is scheduled to be tapped this weekend.
Hop BroAt COEDO BREWERY THE RESTAURANT near the west exit of Kawagoe Station, a limited beer celebrating the 25th anniversary of Saitama Rapid Railway was brewed.
MugiWait, a beer for a railway anniversary!? And it's a local commemorative beer too? That feels incredibly special!
Hop BroThe base is a light Kölsch, and it looks rosé-gold. Very COEDO, and it's been geared toward a crisp, easy-drinking style.
MugiI've heard the name Kölsch, but what kind of beer is it exactly? When you say clean-drinking, you don't mean it tastes like it was just washed, right?
Hop BroNo, no, not detergent. Kölsch is an elegant style with little roughness and an easy finish, and that food-friendly quality is exactly the point here.
MugiOhhh! So once Saitama-grown strawberries are added, you get to enjoy that sweet-tart finish too. That's kind of stylish!
Hop BroExactly. The ingredients are malt, hops, and strawberries, and the ABV is 4.5%. It's not heavy, so it's a good choice for a first beer too.
MugiAnd if it's at the attached restaurant, you can drink it fresh off the line!? That freshly brewed temptation is way too strong!
Hop BroIt also sounds like it would pair well with Chinese-style dishes, so even though it's limited, it's really versatile. This feels like a very Saitama beer to me.
MugiIf it's scheduled to be tapped this weekend, then I need to clear my schedule! A total must-check in Kawagoe. That's definitely a sign to go drinking!
