Novel Craft Announces CRAFTROCK BREWING Tap Takeover at Sister Venue reverb
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, announced that it would close on July 20 for an event and host a CRAFTROCK BREWING tap takeover with Tyson Pizza at its sister venue reverb. The lineup centers on a signature IPA and a set of house beers.
Hop BroToday's story is a special service at reverb. Novel Craft is closed on July 20, and their sister spot is hosting “CRAFTROCK BREWING TAP TAKE OVER with Tyson Pizza.”
MugiWait, tap takeover sounds like the taps staged a coup! And Novel Craft is closed so everyone gathers at reverb?
Hop BroOnly the beer lines are taking over. A ten-year connection with CRAFTROCK’s head brewer is what makes this event feel like a real relationship, not a random one-off.
MugiOooh! So what’s the must-try beer here? Give me the beginner-friendly version!
Hop BroThe headline pour is Alternative IPA. It’s CRAFTROCK BREWING’s flagship IPA, with a clean finish and just the right amount of dank character.
MugiHold on, what is dank in beer language!? That sounds either super cool or mildly suspicious!
Hop BroIn this case it means green, hoppy depth. Think resin, herbs, and a deeper aroma from the hops, not anything sketchy.
MugiOkay, that helps! But Novel Craft Brewing’s lineup sounds like track titles: Down Tempo, Over Dub, BPM 80, Sweep, Glitch, Dubwise. Is this a tap list or a DJ set?
Hop BroThat’s part of the charm. Six house-brewed beers plus Minoh Beer’s W-IPA means you can bounce from light and easy to full-bodied in one sitting.
MugiA W-IPA too!? That tasting range is so wide my stomach may need a strategy meeting first!
Hop BroTyson Pizza is the support system. Pizza and IPA together is exactly why I already want my first glass, and reverb feels like the clearest doorway into Novel Craft’s whole vibe.
MugiThat’s it, I want to toast now! Start me on Alternative IPA, hand me a slice, and let me work my way to Dubwise!
