Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama opens at 18:00 with seven taps, including Ruse Brewing
Novel Craft posted an 18:00 opening notice together with a seven-beer tap list. The lineup mixes guest pours from Kemkur, Ruse Brewing, Minoh Beer, and Cave D'occi with three house beers from Novel Craft Brewing.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama is doing a 6 PM opening today, and the tap lineup looks properly refreshed.
MugiWhat! A perfect after-work dash spot! And seven taps updated? That is serious energy!
Hop BroThe range is strong too, from Kemkur's Coolship Pils to Ruse Brewing's Glass Shadows IPA, so it goes from crisp to aromatic really nicely.
MugiHold on, what is a coolship!? It sounds like a frozen pirate boat!
Hop BroIt's brewing equipment, a shallow vessel used to cool wort. In simple terms, it's kind of the doorway to aroma, and it can change the beer's character.
MugiOhhh! So Minoh Beer's Spring Lager is the clean, easy-drinking one I can happily chug first?
Hop BroExactly, and then you've got Cave D'occi × Novel Craft's Reflection collab beer, so even planning the drinking order becomes part of the fun.
MugiAnd they still have three house brews from Novel Craft Brewing? Sweep, BPM 80, and Down Tempo sound like the coolest band lineup ever.
Hop BroWhat I like is that their post even mentions the watchful little robot by the counter. It makes the place feel lived-in, not just trendy.
MugiThat is adorable! And there's green curry-style spiced curry too? With green chili heat, one beer is obviously not enough.
Hop BroWith coconut milk and fish sauce smoothing it out, the snack-to-beer flow is basically perfect whether you're between an IPA and a lager.
MugiThen it's settled! If I can compare guest beers and house brews in one stop, I'm getting pulled straight into Novel Craft tonight!
Novel Craft is a beer pub and bottle shop near Chitose-Karasuyama Station, known for pouring both house brews and carefully selected guest beers. In this post, the bar announced an 18:00 opening and shared a tap list, while also adding a small note that gives the room some of its everyday character.
The lineup was broad and easy to read: `Kemkur / Coolship Pils`, `Ruse Brewing / Glass Shadows IPA`, `Minoh Beer / Spring Lager`, and `Cave D'occi × Novel Craft / Reflection`, plus three beers from its own brewery, `Novel Craft Brewing / Sweep`, `Novel Craft Brewing / BPM 80`, and `Novel Craft Brewing / Down Tempo`.
That mix points to the kind of place Novel Craft is: not just a bar with taps, but a spot where local atmosphere, house beer, and guest kegs sit side by side. The post also mentioned a green-curry-style spice curry for the day, built with green chili heat, coconut milk, and fish sauce, which makes the place appealing as both a drinking stop and a casual dinner spot.
For beer fans in Tokyo looking for a pub where they can compare house beers with guest pours in one visit, Novel Craft is the sort of venue that rewards a longer look at the tap list.
