Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, has put Minoh Beer’s Spring Lager on tap. The lineup also includes a pilsner, an IPA, a collaboration beer, and several house brews, alongside a green-curry-style spice dish.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama just put Spring Lager on tap. It’s from Minoh Beer, and the whole seven-tap lineup looks seriously strong.
MugiWait, a spring lager? I already want it just from the name. How is that different from a regular lager?
Hop BroIt’s a seasonal lager from Minoh Beer, with easy-drinking crispness but still real malt character. It goes down smoothly without feeling thin.
MugiBut what about Coolship Pils? What is that? It sounds less like beer and more like a refrigerated spaceship!
Hop BroA coolship is basically an open cooling vessel for hot wort. Put simply, it can help build delicate aroma and air-driven character, and pils means a snappy lager style.
MugiOhhh, not a spaceship! And if they also have Ruse Brewing’s Glass Shadows IPA, that lineup jumps from crisp to fully hoppy fast.
Hop BroExactly, and then you add Cave D'occi x Novel Craft Reflection plus Novel Craft Brewing’s Sweep, BPM 80, and Down Tempo, and you’ve got a seven-tap spread that works for almost anyone.
MugiAnd the food is green curry-style spice curry, right? Green chili, coconut milk, fish sauce... my mouth already booked a vacation.
MugiI’m done for, I want a tasting run now. Start with Spring Lager, work through the IPA, then chase it all with curry.
Hop BroThat is the correct route. With a Novel Craft night like this, I want to raise a glass with Minoh Beer the minute they open at 5 p.m.
