Novel Craft Brewing to host Cave d'Occi tap takeover with Tyson Pizza
Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo will host a tap takeover with Cave d'Occi Brewery on June 13. The lineup will include a collaboration saison based on the brewery's flagship Looper, along with food from Tyson Pizza.
Hop BroThis one's worth flagging: on June 13, Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami is hosting a tap takeover with Cave D'occi, and Tyson Pizza is joining too.
MugiWhat! A tap takeover sounds like the beer faucets are staging a full-on rebellion!
Hop BroNot a rebellion, just the fun kind of takeover. Cave D'occi from Niigata is bringing seven guest beers, and Novel's own beers will be there too.
MugiOoh! And the big feature is a collab saison? What kind of beer is a saison, exactly?
Hop BroIt's usually light, food-friendly, and really satisfying for its aroma and crisp finish. This one is built on Novel's flagship beer, Looper, which makes it extra interesting.
MugiNo way! Fermented in white wine barrels? That sounds like this beer studied abroad at a winery!
Hop BroHonestly, that's pretty close. The barrel can add a wine-like aftertaste, so Looper's character should show a totally different side.
MugiAnd there's even a limited bottle-conditioned release in big bottles? Hold on, that phrase alone feels like surprise quiz material!
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but it's simple: the beer keeps developing in the bottle through a second fermentation, so you get take-home beer magic too.
MugiAnd then Tyson Pizza, guest DJs, and Novel's own DJ crew on top of that? That's a beer-pizza-music combo, and now I want a drink immediately!
Hop BroExactly. It's more than just a tasting, it's a full day of Cave D'occi's personality landing in Suginami. Cheers on June 13 sounds like the only correct plan.
Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo will hold "Cave D'occi Tap Take Over with Tyson Pizza" on June 13. The event will feature seven beers from Cave d'Occi, along with beers from Novel Craft Brewing.
The main draw is a collaboration saison brewed for the occasion. It is presented as a beer built on Novel Craft's flagship "Looper," reworked with Cave d'Occi's approach and fermented in white-wine barrels. A limited bottle-conditioned release in large format is also planned, giving the event a take-home angle as well as an on-site one.
Cave d'Occi is known as a winery in Niigata with lodging, a hot spring, and restaurants on the property. It also operates a small brewery attached to one of its restaurants, which means its beers are not often available in beer bars in this kind of concentrated form. This tap takeover offers a rare chance to try several of them together in Suginami.
Tyson Pizza will provide the food, and guest DJs will join the Novel Craft DJ team. With beer, pizza, and music in one setting, the event is designed as more than a simple tasting session. For drinkers interested in brewery collaborations and guest-driven events, it is a notable date on the calendar.
