Hop BroToday, the beer pub Novel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya Ward, is hot with its 8-tap update. It opens at 17:00, and the lineup is perfect for settling into tasting mode.
MugiWhoa! Eight taps all lined up? With that many, I’d get dizzy just deciding where to start!
Hop BroFirst, I want to lock in the house brews: Over Dub, Wah, and Sweep. Those three show the shop’s character, so tasting just those already makes the visit worthwhile.
MugiHuh, what makes those three house brews so special? That sounded so professional all of a sudden my brain feels like beer foam!
Hop BroSimply put, they’re beers the shop brews itself. And this time they’ve also got guest beers like Garage × LHG / ADRENOCHROME and Trap Door IPA, so the clash of personalities should be fun.
MugiOhhh! Just hearing hop-forward IPA makes me feel energized! But it’s also fun that grisette and pilsner are mixed in like model students.
Hop BroExactly. With Bellwoods / Grisette, Minoh Beer / Pilsner, and even Field Ales / Blend Pale, there’s a real range of lightness and aroma. The tasting lineup is well designed.
MugiWhat is this! It’s a tasting rabbit hole! I’d go in planning to have one drink, and before I know it I’d be checking everything from every angle.
Hop BroAnd the food isn’t an afterthought either. The spiced chicken skin ponzu was made to go with beer. With coriander seed, black pepper, and chili peppers, it has strong snack credibility.
MugiWow, there’s even light chicken broth soup? It has both saltiness and gentleness, the kind of place you want to stay at forever.
Hop BroThey also have barrel-aged cider like kemker / Appel Wine no.03-2022, so you can take a detour beyond beer too. Bottles and cans for takeout are welcome, which makes it very easy to use.
MugiIt’s decided! Let’s toast in Minami-Karasuyama. I’ll probably start light, and you Hop-bro are definitely going to go full nerd on everything, right?
Novel Craft has released its tap list along with notice that it opens at 17:00. On the signature food menu, a dish of chicken skin ponzu is lightly dusted with a spice blend of coriander seed, black pepper, and chili peppers. The flavor is designed with beer snacks in mind, and a light chicken broth soup is also being offered.
On this day’s beer lineup, in addition to guest labels such as Garage × LHG / ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door / Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods / Grisette, and Minoh Beer / Pilsner, there are also three house brews from Novel Craft Brewing / Over Dub, Novel Craft Brewing / Wah, and Novel Craft Brewing / Sweep, plus Field Ales / Blend Pale. The selection ranges from hop-forward IPAs to grisette, pilsner, and pale ale, making the appeal of side-by-side tasting especially clear.
Beyond beer, an oak barrel-aged cider served by the glass, "kemker / Appel Wine no.03-2022," is also on offer. In the shop’s post, bringing bottles or cans, or stopping by only for takeout, is also welcomed, so true to a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, it can be used flexibly from an in-house pint to takeout.
