Hop BroToday, Novel Craft in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, is the interesting one. It's staying open through Golden Week, and today it opens at 6 PM.
MugiWhat! They're not closing for Golden Week!? And starting later too? That gives us a reason to go at night.
Hop BroOn top of that, at Have a Good Market in Sangenjaya, they're selling beer alongside Slop Shop. It's a great move, reaching drinkers both in the taproom and out on the market.
MugiSeriously, that sounds fun to follow around! But an 8-tap lineup is the kind of thing that makes it hard to know where to start.
Hop BroThe lineup is really solid, and the key point is that three of the beers are from their own brewery. Being able to move between outside breweries and their own beers is so very Novel Craft.
MugiWait, what's a grisette!? The name is cute, but then suddenly you hit me with a technical term and my brain goes fuzzy!
Hop BroA grisette is basically a style with a light, dry drinking character. Something like Bellwoods / Grisette is easy to sip and works well alongside food.
MugiI get it! Then I want the pulled pork curry too! Pork that's been simmered slowly sounds like it won't lose to beer at all!
Hop BroExactly. It's a spicy dish, so it pairs well with the range of flavors on the tap list. Beers like Collective Arts / Hazy State and Cellador / Lou are on there too, so you can choose based on your mood.
MugiBut payment being cash and QR only is a little too real! As a card person, I need to prepare first.
Hop BroIn the Chitose-Karasuyama area, being able to enjoy both house-brewed beer and imported draft is a strong point. On a Golden Week night, if you stop by Novel Craft for a drink, you might not want to go home.
MugiYeah, this is definitely a place to go! Let's put it on the list for tonight's drink, and enjoy both the curry and the beer together.
The beer pub Novel Craft in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, has announced that it will remain open throughout Golden Week. Due to circumstances, it opens at 6 PM today, and beer is currently being sold at Have a Good Market in Sangenjaya together with Slop Shop. With both the taproom and the market active, it's a move craft beer fans won't want to miss.
The tap list for the day features eight selections. In addition to beers from overseas breweries, three from Novel Craft Brewing's own production are on the board, making for a well-rounded lineup.
- Collective Arts / Hazy State
- Cellador / Lou
- Bellwoods / Grisette
- Novel Craft Brewing / Looper
- Novel Craft Brewing / Wah
- Mingel / Turn! Turn! Turn!
- Novel Craft Brewing / Sweep
- Field Ales / Pint
On the food side, the menu is said to be limited because of Golden Week, but today's special is pulled pork curry. It's a spicy dish made with slowly simmered pork, designed with beer pairing in mind.
Meanwhile, due to a malfunction in the payment terminal, payment is cash and QR-based payment only. Visitors should keep that in mind. In the Chitose-Karasuyama area, it's a place worth putting on the list for a Golden Week night out, where you can move between house-brewed beer and imported draft.
