Novel Craft Brewing Taps Collaboration Beer "Full Up" with Ben's Slop Shop
Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo, tapped its collaboration beer "Full Up" with Ben's Slop Shop, a craft beer shop in Kichijoji. In a post on April 24, the announcement of the new pour came with notice that it would open at 6:00 p.m.
Hop BroToday we're talking about the Full Up tapping. It's a collaboration between Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo, and Ben's Slop Shop in Kichijoji.
MugiWhoa! It's kind of romantic that Suginami and Kichijoji are connected through beer! But is Ben's Slop Shop a store?
Hop BroRight, it's a bottle shop in Kichijoji that also has a kaku-uchi space. It's nice that two places on Tokyo's west side teamed up.
MugiKaku-uchi? What's that! Does it mean you can drink there on the spot? It sounds like they might even have snacks, which makes me curious.
Hop BroSomething like that. It's easiest to think of it as a place where you can do more than just buy bottles - you can also have a drink inside the shop. And this time, the post even says 18:00 Open, which really sets the mood for a tapping.
MugiWow, starting at 6 p.m. is the kind of thing that pulls you in after work! And if the title says Ben's Slop 5th..., then it definitely feels like a commemorative release.
Hop BroExactly, it has that feel of a milestone collaboration. Novel Craft Brewing is a Suginami brewery, and they're good at these kinds of connections with places outside their own taproom.
MugiBut the article says the style isn't confirmed, right? That's what has me restless... Is it an IPA, or something lighter?
Hop BroI wouldn't make a definite call there yet. What the article does confirm is that Full Up was tapped and that it will be served from 6:00 p.m.
MugiGot it! Then I'll start by imagining tonight's first pour. The connection between Novel Craft and Ben's Slop is definitely the kind that makes you happy when you drink it.
Tokyo-based Novel Craft Brewing, located in Suginami, announced the tapping of its collaboration beer with Ben's Slop Shop, "Full Up." The title of the post published on April 24 also included the notation "[18:00 Open]," suggesting that service would begin in step with the day's opening time.
Ben's Slop Shop is known as a craft-beer-focused bottle shop and kaku-uchi space in Kichijoji. By joining forces, the two beer businesses on Tokyo's west side have created a collaboration with a distinctly local feel, connecting Suginami and Kichijoji within the same city.
The title also includes the phrase "ベンスロ5th...", suggesting a project tied to a milestone on Ben's Slop Shop's side. However, since the details of the post itself could not be confirmed, I want to stay within what can be verified here. What can be confirmed at this point is that Novel Craft Brewing has tapped the collaboration beer "Full Up" and announced that it will be served from 6:00 p.m.
Novel Craft Brewing, as a brewery in Suginami, Tokyo, gives the impression of balancing a close-to-everyday drinking distance with collaborations beyond its own walls. This "Full Up" release, too, should be taken not simply as a limited-time announcement, but as a beer that conveys a sense of connection with a beer bar and bottle shop.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
