Seven beers on tap

Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, Tokyo, has published its current tap list. The lineup centers on beers from Novel Craft Brewing, the brewery associated with the pub, and includes five house selections: “remix,” a collaboration with Yorocco Beer, alongside “Looper,” “Reloop,” “Tape Delay,” and “Dub Echo.”

The five beers offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations from the same brewing team. Their varied names suggest a lineup designed for sampling several pours during a visit.

Collaborations and a guest IPA

Also available is “Stammtisch Helles,” a collaboration between Pigalle Tokyo and Yorocco Beer. Its Helles style should make it a natural match for food and a refreshing option between fuller-flavored pours. CRAFTROCK BREWING’s “Alternative IPA” adds a hop-forward choice to the selection.

The pub opens at 6 p.m. on this occasion due to brewing work. Food options include a five-vegetable saag chicken curry, a mini curry served with a homemade bread set, and other snacks intended to pair with beer.

Novel Craft is located on the second floor of Kazama Building at 4-13-9 Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, Tokyo. With house beers, collaborations, and guest taps, it is a destination for exploring craft beer around Chitose-Karasuyama.
