Tokyo-based Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami Ward announced a bottle resale of its house-brewed beer, Looper. In an Instagram post, the brewery said it had prepared more bottles to replace the ones that had sold out, and noted that it would open at 18:00 on May 20.

Looper is known as the brewery's flagship saison. From the post, it seems this resale is aimed at bottle sales for takeaway at the shop. For fans who had been waiting for a restock, it should be another chance to get their hands on it.

Novel Craft Brewing is a brewpub in the Takaido area that serves its own brewed beer. With brewing tanks on-site, it is set up so guests can enjoy freshly made beer right there in the shop. Like many small urban breweries, its brewing and sales timing is easy to see, and announcements like this bottle resale let the brewery's activity come through clearly.

The wording of the Instagram post also makes it clear that the opening hours were adjusted this time so bottling could take priority. Days when limited releases or restocks move are also when the brewery's real on-the-ground energy comes through most strongly. This is a notice that should catch the attention not only of people who have not tried Looper yet, but also of those who missed out last time.
