Novel Craft advances anniversary beer 'Life is Peachy' with peach addition
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, reported progress on its anniversary beer Life is Peachy. After brewing the base beer last week, the team added chopped peaches to the tank on July 28 and let refermentation begin. The beer is scheduled to be unveiled in mid-September.
Hop BroNovel Craft has its anniversary brew moving along in a very tempting way today. At the Setagaya beer pub, Life is Peachy just got chopped peaches added and is heading into refermentation.
MugiWait, Life is Peachy is such a cute name! So is this basically a peach fruit beer?
Hop BroExactly, it is a peach fruit beer. They brewed the base beer last week, and now they are layering in peaches for aroma and juicy character.
MugiHold on, what is refermentation? Is the beer waking up and going back to work?
Hop BroThat is actually close. The yeast starts working again on the peach sugars, so it is like a second growth stage for carbonation and aroma.
MugiWhoa, and they picked extra sweet peaches again this year? My taste buds are getting excited from the headline alone.
Hop BroThat yearly peach tradition is part of the charm. Because it is an in-house brewing pub, you get to see the romance of the process before the beer is even finished.
MugiAnd the release is planned for mid-September, right? Even the waiting period sounds like an event.
Hop BroIt gets better. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the tap list already has a stacked lineup like Belwoods Come What May Dry-Hopped and Georgetown Lucille IPA.
MugiWhat is this lineup! There is also Reflection with Cave D'occi, plus Novel Craft Brewing pours like Echo, Delay, and Wah? That is serious pregame drinking material.
MugiWith guest taps, collabs, and house beers all together, I want to stop by after work on the Keio line and enjoy the happiness of waiting with a pint in hand.
Hop BroThat is the move. Enjoy the taps now, then when Life is Peachy debuts, we will absolutely want a toast in a cloud of peach.
