Hop BroAt "Entrance to Beer NOVICE" in Kawagoe, NAKAJI’S IPA has joined the lineup. It has that Niiza Craft balance of not pushing the bitterness too far, and the nice thing is that it is a light, easygoing IPA at 5.0% ABV.
MugiWait, really? An IPA that's not too bitter? I thought IPAs were supposed to hit hard with bitterness!
Hop BroThey can be like that, but these days the range is broader. This one has a light finish, so you can enjoy the hop aroma while the drinking feel stays smooth. An IPA you can gulp down easily is a pretty strong ally after work.
MugiBy gulp down, do you mean... like water? Huh, when you say clear drinking feel, I honestly can't quite picture it!
Hop BroNot like water, but more like it has very little roughness and the outline feels clean. The malt sweetness and hop aroma are well organized, and it comes together as an easy-drinking IPA.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds great for IPA beginners too! And there are five taps today, right? Isn't having choices kind of overpowered?
Hop BroExactly. Besides NAKAJI’S IPA, they've got Tidal Cycles, Mellow Times Lager, Coffee Schwarz, and Pale Ale. It's a wide-ranging lineup that works for IPA fans and lager fans alike.
MugiWhat is that! Lager, schwarz, and pale ale too? This is basically beer-tasting heaven. Just reading the names makes me a little tipsy!
Hop BroAnd it's only a 3-minute walk from Kawagoe Station and a 5-minute walk from Hon-Kawagoe Station, so it's very usable as a station-adjacent beer pub. It's on the second floor-B of the PONO Building, and on weekdays it's open until midnight, so it's nice and easy to drop by.
MugiThat's way too good...! I feel like going out for a drink in Kawagoe tonight and really enjoying a beer after work. Hop bro, you're already ready to go drinking, aren't you!
Hop BroOf course. If you can start with Niiza Craft's NAKAJI’S IPA and taste your way through Saitama's character, then there's really no reason not to go. Mugi, let's start with the IPA.
