Hop BroNovel Craft in Setagaya just rolled out a seven-tap refresh, and the lineup is seriously strong with Belwoods in the mix.
MugiWhat! And the grilled gyoza is back too? They're trying to win before the first sip!
Hop BroExactly, and today's featured pour is Come What May Dry-Hopped, a Belwoods beer with balanced tartness and that wild, funky edge.
MugiHang on, a funky flavor profile? Is this beer coming with its own soundtrack?
Hop BroImportant detail: late-hop aroma is basically what dry-hopping adds, and funky means rustic notes like ripe fruit and a little hay-like character.
MugiOhhh, so it's more of a tart aromatic vibe. Why does that suddenly sound extremely drinkable?
Hop BroAnd the range is wide, with Ruse Brewing's Glass Shadows IPA, Minoh Beer's Spring Lager, and the Cave D'occi x Novel Craft collab Reflection.
MugiRuse, Minoh, and a collab too? That's a mini beer festival hiding inside one tap list!
Hop BroThen Novel Craft Brewing adds three house beers of its own: Sweep, BPM 80, and Down Tempo, so you can drink by mood from IPA to lager.
MugiAnd with the lamb cilantro gyoza back, plus only six fresh-baked breads, my stomach is now fully invested in this plan.
Hop BroThey open at 5 p.m., and the whole back home feeling makes me want Belwoods first, then a lager to settle into the night.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. Start me with gyoza and Belwoods, then let me chase the house brews right after.
