Hop BroNomendo Brew Stand in Koshigaya is announcing that it will release a new West Coast IPA this weekend.
MugiWhoa! Just from the name, it already sounds like it's going to be super hoppy!
Hop BroThat's pretty much right. It's aiming for the hop aroma and bitterness typical of an IPA, plus a clean finish.
MugiClean, but bitter!? I'm confused. What does clean finish even mean?
Hop BroIt has solid bitterness, but it keeps the malt heaviness down and leaves a lighter aftertaste. So it has a crisp bitterness that makes you want the next sip.
MugiAh, I get it! That sounds easy to drink even before summer. And Nomendo Brew Stand is only a 3-minute walk from Koshigaya Station, which is insanely convenient!
Hop BroExactly. It's a craft beer bar in Koshigaya City, Saitama, and it's active not only in serving beer in-house but also at local events. This time, it's also scheduled to set up at the Musashino Beer Festival.
MugiWait, they're coming to the festival too!? April 25, 26, and 29 means they're doing a pretty serious three-day booth!
Hop BroRight? The brewing and the event are happening around the same time, so it's interesting to see movement both at the shop and at outside events.
MugiThen drinking the new release at the shop and chasing it at the festival sounds amazing! I can't wait for this weekend!
Hop BroI completely agree. A beer in Koshigaya and a beer at Sakura Town are both the kind you want to compare side by side.
MugiAlright, my brain is in beer mode now! I definitely want the West Coast IPA!
The New Release Is a West Coast IPA
Nomendo Brew Stand is a craft beer bar located a 3-minute walk from Koshigaya Station. In an official blog post on April 6, the bar thanked guests for coming to the hanami event held the previous day, then said it plans to release a new West Coast IPA this weekend. While the exact release date was not specified, the announcement suggests the hop aroma, bitterness, and crisp drinkability typical of an IPA.
From a Koshigaya Shop to Events
In addition to serving beer inside the shop, the bar actively participates in local events. In this post, it also announced that it will take part in the Musashino Beer Festival held at Sakura Town on Saturday, April 25, Sunday, April 26, and Wednesday, April 29. The new brew schedule and the event appearances are close together, making Nomendo Brew Stand's activity visible both at the shop and at outside events.
