Nomendo Brew Stand to Tap Two New Beers on May 26: Oni Densetsu and House-Brewed Kokkan
Nomendo Brew Stand in Koshigaya, Saitama, will open two new taps when business begins at 6:00 p.m. on May 26. The lineup features Hokkaido's Noboribetsu local beer Oni Densetsu "Ao Oni Pilsner" and the house-brewed "Kokkan."
Hop BroToday, the two-tap opening in Koshigaya is the interesting part. Nomendo Brew Stand is connecting Oni Densetsu's Ao Oni Pilsner and its house-brewed Kokkan at 6:00 p.m. on May 26.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Ao Oni Pilsner sounds strong! Is a blue demon pouring the beer?
Hop BroIt may not look blue, but it's a pilsner from Hokkaido's Noboribetsu local beer Oni Densetsu, and its hallmark is a clean, crisp finish. It's a very solid choice for your first drink.
MugiHmm! But pilsner sounds kind of difficult... What's the difference?
Hop BroIn broad terms, it's a lager-style beer that's easy to drink and refreshing. Its appeal is that it balances grain character and hop aroma to make it clean and easy to drink.
MugiI see! And the house-brewed Kokkan already sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroIt's a house brew from NOMENDO BREW LABS, designed as a BREAD SAISON. At 5% alcohol and 16 IBU, the goal is to bring together bread-like barley aroma and the lightness of a saison.
MugiA beer that smells like bread is amazing! Does barley aroma mean something like freshly baked toast?
Hop BroExactly, and that's what makes it interesting. It seems to have been first released at last week's event, so you can probably enjoy a lingering, ingredient-driven finish.
MugiAnd Coffee Saison is sold out, and a new release is being prepared too, right? Sounds like today is the day to go have a drink in Koshigaya!
Hop BroStart with the guest Ao Oni Pilsner to get your palate ready, then take your time with Kokkan. This is the right kind of comparison tasting.
Nomendo Brew Stand, a craft beer specialty shop in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, will connect two new kegs for its May 26 business day. Located within walking distance of the east exit of Koshigaya Station, the shop is known for its fast-changing draft lineup and for offering both guest beers from outside breweries and its own house brews.
The first beer introduced in the post is "Ao Oni Pilsner" from Hokkaido's Noboribetsu local beer Oni Densetsu. The post adds, "Somehow, nice to meet you," presenting it as its first appearance at Nomendo Brew Stand. This crisp pilsner is an easy choice for a first pint.
The other beer is "Kokkan" by NOMENDO BREW LABS. It is a house-brewed BREAD SAISON with 5% alcohol and 16 IBU, and the post says it was first released in advance at last week's event booth. As its name suggests, evoking the aroma of barley, it is a beer that draws interest for its emphasis on ingredient character.
True to its name, Nomendo Brew Stand has supported Koshigaya's craft beer scene as a beer stand that anyone can casually drop into. This time, the contrast between a guest brewery pilsner and a house-brewed saison makes the current lineup easy to understand. The post also mentions that the Coffee Saison has sold out and that a new release is being prepared soon, so attention is likely to keep turning to future tap changes.
