Novel Craft in Setagaya opens at 5 p.m. with eight taps, including Antelope and OXBOW
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, posted on Instagram on August 27 that it would open at 5 p.m. The day’s lineup brings together Antelope, Brasserie De la Senne, OXBOW, Noroshi Brewing, and house beers from Novel Craft Brewing.
Hop BroToday's stop is Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama. They posted a 5:00 p.m. opening and an eight-tap lineup that looks dangerous in the best way.
MugiWait, eight taps today? That sounds like a concert lineup. Do eight kegs just march out and salute?
Hop BroClose, but tap list just means the draft menu. Eight pour lines on deck, so it's built for comparing styles after work.
MugiWhoa, Antelope and OXBOW on the same board? That escalated from neighborhood pub to beer passport fast.
Hop BroExactly. You've got Antelope's Kiiro, Brasserie De la Senne's Zinnebir, OXBOW's Dance Language and Space Cowboy, all in one go.
MugiHold on, Zinnebir sounds like a spell. Do I order it and suddenly speak fluent Belgian?
Hop BroIf only. Think of it as a Belgian-style pint: expressive aroma, easy drinkability, perfect for the first glass after work.
MugiOkay, then what about Micro Saison? Saison? Siren? My brain is spilling foam.
Hop BroSaison is a farmhouse style. Usually crisp, a little spicy, and very food-friendly. Then Novel Craft Brewing adds Delay, Dubwise, and Reloop from its own system.
MugiThat in-house angle is strong. And extra Reloop bottles plus motsuni and oden? That's a full sit-down situation.
Hop BroRight, and it's the kind of list where your drinking order practically plans itself, from lighter pours into the house brews.
MugiThat's it, I'm done resisting. I need a pint now. Five o'clock at Novel Craft, with oden on the side.
Novel Craft, a beer pub on the second floor in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, shared its 5 p.m. opening notice along with the day’s tap list. The lineup mixes guest beers with house-brewed options, giving it the kind of range that works well for an after-work stop or a slow tasting session.
The eight beers listed were `Kiiro` from Antelope, `Zinnebir` from Brasserie De la Senne, `Dance Language` and `Space Cowboy` from OXBOW, `Micro Saison` from Noroshi Brewing, and `Delay`, `Dubwise`, and `Reloop` from Novel Craft Brewing. Belgian, American, Japanese, and house beers all appear on the same board, which makes the list easy to approach in categories or by contrast.
The post also notes that `Reloop` bottles have arrived in quantity, and that snacks such as motsu stew and oden are available. It is a straightforward beer-pub setup: draft beer first, food alongside it, and enough variety to keep beer drinkers checking the board closely.
