Hop BroAt Novel Craft in Minamikarasuyama, Tokyo, Minoh Beer Pilsner was tapped. On a night when they open at 17:00, seeing the taps lined up like that is irresistible.
MugiWhat, eight taps lined up? If I saw that, there is no way I would stick to just one drink!
Hop BroFirst of all, Pilsner is all about that clean, crisp bitterness. If you choose it as your first pour, it feels like your palate snaps into place and your drinking mode switches on.
MugiWhat does crisp mean? You mean it goes down smoothly? When you say crisp bitterness, beer suddenly starts looking like a samurai to me!
Hop BroThat works as the idea. And this time, there are tons of characterful beers, from Garage × LHG’s ADRENOCHROME to Trap Door IPA and Bellwoods’ Grisette, so tasting side by side should be fun.
MugiWhat is that! I have heard of IPA, sort of, but Grisette is completely new to me! This wide range of styles really is the entrance to a rabbit hole!
Hop BroGrisette is light, dry-leaning, and close in feel to a traditional saison. What makes this interesting is that Novel Craft Brewing has three house-brewed beers on tap: Over Dub, Wah, and Sweep.
MugiWait, they even make their own beer there!? That means you can fully check out the bar’s personality. Taste it against outside breweries and you can probably see what kind of place it is!
Hop BroExactly. Finishing with Field Ales’ Blend Pale is a nice flow too, and because it has the comfort of a pale style, it is easy to keep drinking through the night.
MugiBeing so close to Chitose-Karasuyama Station is great too. Tonight feels like one of those nights where you say, I’ll just have one, and before you know it, you’re looking at every tap!
Hop BroExactly. A night of comparing domestic and overseas beers plus house brews, starting with Minoh Pilsner? Of course that would pull you straight toward the bar.
MugiThen tonight I need to get ready for the tasting lineup already! Start with the Pilsner, then finish softly with a pale style at the end. That is way too good!
