Novel Craft Taps BALDYS GOOD BEER's "Mish Mash"; Wah and BPM 80 Also on Tap
The beer pub Novel Craft in Setagaya, Tokyo, opened at 17:00 on March 26. "Mish Mash" from BALDYS GOOD BEER in Nihonbashi made its first appearance, alongside Novel Craft Brewing's "Wah" and "BPM 80."
Hop BroToday I’m talking about how the first-ever Mish Mash was tapped at Novel Craft, the beer pub in Setagaya. On March 26, it opened at 17:00, and the place felt like a little celebration.
MugiWhoa! It’s exciting just because it’s a debut, and with 17:00 OPEN it feels like it could just pull you in after work!
Hop BroAnd what came in was a beer from BALDYS GOOD BEER in Nihonbashi, a brewery known as Nihonbashi's rising star. The head brewer is Junpei, formerly of Barbaric Works.
MugiWhat! It sounds strong just from the name alone, but is Mr. Junpei really that amazing?
Hop BroYeah, he’s a hands-on craftsman. This Mish Mash is a session IPA made with Maris Otter malt and Mosaic hops.
MugiEvery time I hear session IPA, I think it’s a beer that sits in meetings! So what exactly is a session IPA?
Hop BroThink of it as an IPA focused on drinkability. The alcohol is lighter, but the aroma still comes through strongly. So this Mish Mash balances a soft mouthfeel with hop aroma.
MugiNice! And Novel Craft Brewing's Wah and BPM 80 are there too, right? That sounds like the kind of lineup that makes tasting them side by side a blast!
Hop BroExactly. I like that different taps with distinct characters are lined up in the same place. Since it’s a beer pub on the second floor of Kazama Building, you can drop in for just one drink or take your time tasting several kegs.
MugiThat’s totally a going-out-to-drink setup! If you can taste multiple kegs side by side, I want to go from Mish Mash to Wah to BPM 80 in order!
Hop BroThat settles it. A night chasing both BALDYS GOOD BEER and Novel Craft Brewing definitely calls for a first drink right now.
MugiYeah, yeah, my head is already full of foam! I want to toast properly tonight while comparing the aromas!
