Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe taps U.B.P Brewery’s Memorial Match and four more beers
The beer pub Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe has refreshed its tap lineup. The selection is led by U.B.P Brewery’s anniversary IPA, Memorial Match, alongside Endless Summer from GECKO BEER and three more beers from Saitama-based breweries.
Hop BroEntrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe just rolled out a five-tap lineup. The headliner is Memorial Match, a 4th anniversary IPA from U.B.P Brewery.
MugiWhat! A 4th anniversary IPA already sounds like it means business. And I can get it in Kawagoe?
Hop BroMemorial Match sits at ABV 7.5%, with tropical fruit aromas up front, then a light dry finish and a clean, satisfying bitterness.
MugiWait, dry finish means what exactly? Is this beer about to steal all the moisture from my mouth?
Hop BroNot that dramatic. It really means less lingering sweetness, so the finish snaps off clean and makes you want the next sip right away.
MugiOooh! Then what about GECKO BEER's Endless Summer? That name already sounds like sandals and reckless optimism.
Hop BroThat's an American Pale Ale at ABV 5.0%, built on citrus and floral notes with crisp bitterness, so it's super approachable.
MugiSo I could start bold with Memorial Match, then reset with Endless Summer... that's basically a comparison flight plan, right?
Hop BroExactly. The rest of the taps are Citra White, CARVAAN Goze, and NAKAJI'S HELLES, so the style range is seriously good.
MugiGoze? Helles? That escalated fast. This is a full-on beer wizard vocabulary moment for me!
Hop BroGoze is bright and refreshing with a little salinity and acidity, while Helles is an easy, malt-clean lager. Plus NOVICE is walkable from the stations and open through Obon, so it's a perfect first stop.
MugiThen I'm sold. A casual Kawagoe stop, Memorial Match first, Endless Summer next, and suddenly this is an I-need-a-pint-now situation.
