Hop BroA Kawagoe beer pub just got two new faces on tap. At Entrance to Beer NOVICE, COEDO BREWERY’s “Sennen no Mori Ale” and CARVAAN Brewery’s “Carvaan Cream Ale” have been added.
MugiWhat! Two new kegs? And you can compare craft beers in Kawagoe? That alone gives me a reason to go!
Hop BroAnd “Sennen no Mori Ale” is a black tea saison, too. It has the sweet aroma of Japanese black tea, a soft amber color with a reddish tint, and an ABV of 5.0%.
MugiA black tea saison? Is it tea or beer? It feels like both are in there, and my head’s getting a little floaty!
Hop BroIn short, saison is a style with a bright, refreshing aroma that was originally something people drank between farm work, and what makes this one interesting is layering Japanese black tea nuance on top of that. In other words, it looks like beer, but tea is gently waving from the side.
MugiThat’s amazing! Then I’m curious about the other one, the cream ale too! When I hear “cream,” I imagine something sweet like dessert!
Hop Bro“Carvaan Cream Ale” is light and mellow, but it also has a fruity aroma and a crisp finish. It’s easy to taste the sweetness, so it drinks gently without feeling heavy.
MugiOhhh! Gentle but crisp sounds really easy to drink, even for beginners. And at ABV 5.0%, it seems just right!
Hop BroExactly. And this place isn’t just serving those two right now - it has five beers with distinct personalities on tap. There’s also NAKAJI’S IPA, Tidal Cycles, and Pale Ale, which is great because you can see the flow of local breweries all in one place.
MugiWait, even though it’s a Kawagoe shop, it’s like touring nearby breweries! Being able to drink all kinds of styles in one spot feels like such a good deal!
Hop BroAnd it’s just a 3-minute walk from Kawagoe Station and 5 minutes from Hon-Kawagoe Station, and the shop is also advising people to watch their footing in the rain. On a day like this, a pint while sheltering from the rain is the right answer.
MugiWow, just imagining it makes me want to drink! I want to hop between the tea saison and the cream ale and enjoy Kawagoe’s craft beer all together!
