Entrance to Beer NOVICE announces a DDH IPA and tomato gose among five taps
Entrance to Beer NOVICE, a beer pub in Wakita-cho, Kawagoe, posted its August 22 tap lineup. The list features a Nobody Brewing DDH IPA, a tomato gose, and a barley-driven pale ale, alongside two additional taps from other local breweries.
Hop BroToday's topic is the August 22 tap list from Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe. It's five mostly Saitama craft beers, and the lineup comes out swinging.
MugiWait, a DDH IPA and a tomato gose on the same list? That's a fastball and a trick pitch in one round, and my brain is already making a toast!
Hop BroThe headliner is Nowhere from Nobody Brewing, a 7.0% DDH IPA. It's loaded with hops, so you get bright aroma, dense fruit character, and real drinking weight.
MugiWhat is DDH anyway? That mysterious little acronym sounds like something I'd fake understanding for three seconds before getting caught.
Hop BroDDH means Double Dry Hop, basically extra hops after fermentation. It's less about making it harsher and more about making the aroma leap out of the glass.
MugiOhh! Then Fujimi Tomato from Nutori Brewing is a tomato gose, right? The name alone makes it sound like my salad ordered a beer.
Hop BroExactly, but it's more elegant than salad. The star is fresh tartness and gentle sweetness. With tomato aroma from Fujimi-grown fruit and 4.0% ABV, it should drink really easy.
MugiNice! And Tokoro Golden is a pale ale with local barley from Tokorozawa, right? That much hometown energy makes me want to root for it.
Hop BroThat's the charm. Tokoro Golden has balanced bitterness and malt sweetness, sits at 4.5% ABV, and sounds super clean on the finish. Quietly reliable.
MugiAnd they also have Kohaku no Kuma and JAMAICA? Five Saitama craft beers packed into one station-side pub feels a little unfair.
Hop BroThe spot is three minutes from Kawagoe Station and five from Hon-Kawagoe, plus they pair beer with food. The only catch is that early hours on August 22 look tight, so checking ahead makes sense.
MugiThen that's settled, we're going for a drinking run. I want to start with Fujimi Tomato and let Nowhere bring the big finish!
