Hop BroAt Kawagoe’s beer pub Entrance to Beer NOVICE, Kazo Beer’s “Pale Ale” has been newly tapped. There are five taps on today, so it’s a pretty fun lineup.
MugiWhat, five beers on tap!? That sounds like the kind of situation where you get overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start!
Hop BroAnd the star of the show, Kazo Beer Pale Ale, is 5.5% ABV with a slightly deeper amber color. It highlights malt richness and hop aroma while keeping bitterness restrained.
MugiAmber color? What does that mean! So by slightly deeper color, you mean it already looks tasty just from appearance?
Hop BroExactly, it’s got that amber-like color that makes you think, ‘Ah, this is going to be good’ the moment you see it. Even though it’s a pale ale, it still has malt richness, so it’s not too light and has some real substance.
MugiOhhh! But when you start talking about hop aroma and bitterness, it sounds a bit advanced. If the bitterness is restrained, maybe even I can handle it!
Hop BroYou can, you can. And today’s taps include saison, ale, and schwarzbier too, which is great because the range of flavors is broad. It feels like you can travel through a whole spectrum in one place, from light and lively to roasted.
MugiThat’s amazing! If I go there planning to compare different beers, my brain is just going to keep shouting, ‘What should I have next!?’
Hop BroAnd it’s even better that local Saitama breweries are on the board. COEDO BREWERY, Nutoru Brewing, NOMENDO Brew Stand, Danchi Kitchen Tajima, and Kazo Beer joining in means this tap list really shows off the region’s character.
MugiNice... having this much selection in Kawagoe is a craft beer lover’s dream. And being close to the station and convenient at night and on weekends is just unfair!
Hop BroWeekdays start at 5:00 PM, and weekends and holidays start at 3:00 PM, so it’s also great for going early and taking your time through the taps. All right, after talking about this, I’m done for - I guess I should go out with the intention of having just one drink.
MugiYeah, no chance! I want to drink the Pale Ale, and the saison looks tempting too - I’d probably end up on my second beer before I know it today!
