Hop BroThere’s a fun one in Kawagoe on September 5 at Entrance to Beer NOVICE: an Otonari five-beer tasting.
MugiWhat! It’s that close? Three minutes from Kawagoe Station sounds dangerously convenient after work!
Hop BroExactly, and it’s also five minutes from Hon-Kawagoe Station, up on the second floor of PONO Building in an easygoing beer pub.
MugiNice! But five beers makes me curious. Are the beer names and styles still under wraps?
Hop BroThat’s the hook: the beer names and styles are a surprise for the day, but the flight lets you compare aroma and flavor with about 100 ml of each.
MugiWait, what is a beer flight? Are the beers taking off from a runway now?!
Hop BroNo takeoff, thankfully. It just means a tasting set of small pours, and five 100 ml samples makes it easy to find your favorite.
MugiWhoa, and Otonari doesn’t even have its own brewery? It’s a phantom brewery? That sounds like a beer ninja.
Hop BroPretty much. It’s a craft beer project that creates recipes without owning brewing equipment, usually by teaming up with other breweries, and that local focus is part of the appeal.
MugiAnd they’ll sell canned beer too, so you can drink there and buy your favorite after? That’s take-home happiness right there.
Hop BroYep, and Otonari’s members are expected to be there, so it’s not just drinking, it has real meet-the-makers energy.
MugiA little taste of each, then take home the winner... that is such a drinker-friendly setup I want to applaud.
Hop BroSeptember 5 at NOVICE really feels like the kind of night that makes you want to raise a glass right now.
Event Details
Entrance to Beer NOVICE is a beer pub on the second floor of the PONO Building in Kawagoe, about a 3-minute walk from Kawagoe Station and a 5-minute walk from Hon-Kawagoe Station. It is a place where guests can relax and explore craft beer at an easy pace.
On Saturday, Sept. 5, members of the Kawagoe-based craft beer project Otonari will visit the bar. The announcement says five Otonari beers will be available, along with a tasting flight made up of about 100 ml pours of each beer. Individual beer names are not listed, but the format is clearly designed for side-by-side comparison of flavor and aroma.
Otonari operates as a phantom brewery without its own brewhouse, and has helped broaden the local craft beer scene in Kawagoe. Canned beer sales are also planned for the day, so guests can enjoy a pint on site and then take home a beer they like.
