Hop BroKawagoe's Entrance to Beer NOVICE has put out 5 taps including a Dortmund. It's a lineup that's easy to drop by for from the station, so it's perfect for a casual tasting session.
MugiWait, what! Just 3 minutes on foot from the station? That's the kind of place that basically pulls you in on the way home.
Hop BroThe star is Nobody Brewing's Tidal Cycles, right? A Dortmund is a lager style with a strong malt presence, and this one has a satisfying ABV of 5.5%.
MugiDortmund? That sounds like a spell! When you say strong malt presence, is it sweet or bitter?
Hop BroTo put it simply, the sweetness and body come first, and the finish is fairly crisp. The way refreshing character and depth come together is what makes Tidal Cycles feel so good.
MugiOhhh! And Saiba-Iroha- too - even the name sounds delicious.
Hop BroExactly. There's COEDO's Saiba-Iroha-, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Mellow Times Lager, Danchi Kitchen Tajima's Coffee Schwarz, and Kazo Beer’s Pale Ale. It's fun to have lager, schwarz, and pale ale all lined up at once.
MugiSo you mean from toasty to light? That's the kind of place where you can choose based on your mood today.
Hop BroExactly. You can go for the toastiness of Coffee Schwarz, keep it light and brisk with the Pale Ale, or settle into the mellow rhythm of Mellow Times Lager.
MugiWow, that's impossible to choose! It's packed with the fun of tasting side by side, so today I want us both to go to Kawagoe and check everything out!
