Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, has posted its tap list on Instagram, announcing a 5:00 PM opening. The lineup features eight beers, from overseas brewery staples to house-brewed originals, making it an easy stop on the way home from work.
Hop BroToday, let's take a look at Novel Craft's tap list, from this beer pub in Setagaya Ward's Minamikarasuyama that opens at 5:00 PM.
MugiWhoa, that's a place I can stop by after work! An 8-tap lineup is the kind of thing that's fun before you even decide what to order!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is interesting too. It has real range, from Belgian-style sour notes all the way to lagers.
MugiSour as in vinegar-like? Or more like a fruity tartness?
Hop BroThat's an important distinction. In beer, sourness can sometimes feel close to yogurt-like or fruity character. For example, a beer like Dieu Du Ciel!!'s Petite Morale is the kind that lets you enjoy aroma and a gentle tartness.
MugiOhh! So that's one of those beers where you can take a sip and say, 'Wow, that's stylish.' And I love that it mixes overseas and domestic breweries, too - so many options!
Hop BroExactly. You've got Yorocco Beer's Spring Thunder, Baldys, and even Varietal Brewing in the mix, so it's a lineup that makes beer comparisons almost impossible to stop.
MugiBut the names are cool! It feels like just ordering one would make you stronger. So what does the crispness of a lager feel like?
Hop BroIt's the kind of clean finish that makes you want the next sip. Vinohradsky's Vinohradska 11 and Passific Brewing's Zwickle Pils are classic examples.
MugiI see, so they're easy-drinking beers! But the house brew with the shop's name on it is the part I'm most curious about!
Hop BroThat's where Novel Craft really shines. With Novel Craft Brewing's Fuzz and Looper, you can enjoy the shop's personality right in your glass.
MugiA lineup like this, this close to the station, is almost unfair... Now I want to go have a drink in Chitose-Karasuyama tonight!
Hop BroThat's the plan. Let's finish up work and start slowly with our first drink at 5:00 PM.
