The beer pub Novel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, will open today, April 24, at 5:00 p.m. and will be closed tomorrow, the 25th. Tomorrow, the sister shop Novel Craft Brewing (reverb) will host a Tap Take Over featuring Miyagi's falo Brewing, and the shop will be run by the entire staff.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Setagaya-ku's Minami-Karasuyama opens at 5:00 p.m. on April 24. The flow feels right: have a drink at the main shop today, then head to sister shop reverb tomorrow for falo Brewing's TTO.
MugiWait, a TTO at the sister shop is that big an event!? If the main shop is closed, does that mean the whole staff is running around at full speed!
Hop BroExactly, it's a full-staff operation. Novel Craft is the kind of place that serves as a kind of "beer landing spot" you can casually drop into after work.
MugiWhat does that even mean, a beer landing spot!? It's so stylish that now even the vessel looks like it's been designed for craft beer!
Hop BroToday's recommendation is Coconut Lemon Saag Chicken Curry. It layers coconut and lemon over the spinach-like saag character, so it pairs well between beers.
MugiWhoa! But what's saag!? The name alone has so much information in it, my head is already foaming up!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a spinach-based curry. The coconut adds roundness and the lemon aroma comes through, so it doesn't feel too heavy.
MugiI get it! So what's on tap? If it's called a gem of a Tap List, then of course I want to drink them all!
Hop BroIt's a lineup that crosses domestic and international beers: Collective Arts' Hazy State, Cellador's Lou, Novel Craft Brewing × Ben's Slop Shop's Full Up, Mingel's Turn! Turn! Turn!, Mugizakkoku Kobo's Creek Lager, and Novel Craft Brewing's Wah.
MugiWhoa, it's like a taste-crossing tour! I'm curious about the falo Brewing TTO on the 25th too, and today it's one drink at the main shop, tomorrow one more at reverb - total rabbit hole!
The beer pub Novel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, will begin service today, April 24, from 5:00 p.m. The following day, April 25, Novel Craft Brewing (reverb), its sister shop, is scheduled to host a Tap Take Over by the noteworthy Miyagi brewery falo Brewing, and the Novel Craft main store will be closed.
The main shop has a strong presence as a place to stop in for a beer after work. In its post, it said it would welcome guests with a "gem of a Tap List," and today's special also featured "Coconut Lemon Saag Chicken Curry." It is a dish that preserves the saag character of spinach while layering in the aromas of coconut and lemon, making it an easy match between beers.
On tap were Collective Arts / Hazy State, Cellador / Lou, Novel Craft Brewing × Ben's Slop Shop / Full Up, Mingel / Turn! Turn! Turn!, Mugizakkoku Kobo / Creek Lager, and Novel Craft Brewing / Wah. From overseas beers like Hazy State and Lou, to the collaboration Full Up, to domestic beers like Creek Lager and Wah, the lineup lets drinkers move across a wide range of flavor directions.
One of Novel Craft's charms is that you can take your time following the character of each tap at this calm beer pub in Minami-Karasuyama. Ahead of the sister-shop event on the 25th, it feels natural to start with a drink at the main shop today.
