Novel Craft Guides 8 Taps, and Sister Shop reverb Hosts Tyson Pizza's Pizza Day
Setagaya Ward's Minami-Karasuyama beer pub Novel Craft announced Tyson Pizza's Pizza Day at its sister shop reverb. While keeping regular service going inside the shop, it is pouring eight taps including Garage × LHG's ADRENOCHROME and Minoh Beer Pilsner.
Hop BroToday, Setagaya Ward's Minami-Karasuyama Novel Craft is the hot topic. They announced Tyson Pizza's Pizza Day at their sister shop reverb, and it's reassuring that the main shop is still open for regular service and serving drinks.
MugiWhat! Even though it's pizza day, the main shop is open as usual? And they welcome bottles and cans to go too? That's so kind to the at-home drinking crowd!
Hop BroExactly. They're going hard with a full 8-tap lineup. From Garage × LHG's ADRENOCHROME to Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods' Grisette, and Minoh Beer Pilsner, there's a lot of range.
MugiWhat is that! I've never heard of Grisette before, and isn't mixing in a style that's not familiar kind of hard to handle?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, Grisette is a light, dry-leaning beer. When you add a crisp beer like Minoh Beer's Pilsner, tasting side by side becomes a lot of fun.
MugiOh wow, they have house-brewed stuff too, right? When Novel Craft Brewing's lineup is mixed in, it really feels like you can see the shop's personality!
Hop BroExactly. They have Over Dub, Wah, Sweep, and Field Ales / Blend Pale too, so it feels like a collaboration between house-brewed and imported beers. They show the shop's character right in the glass.
MugiAnd it's not just beer!? kemker / Appel Wine no.03-2022 too? A cider as well is almost unfair!
Hop BroIt's one that's been aged for a year in oak barrels, with notes of apple, pineapple, and lemon. With this kind of breadth in fermented drinks, craft fans end up lingering longer than planned.
MugiAnd the food is Sichuan mapo-tofu-style keema? The name alone makes it feel like both rice and beer are being invited! With sansho pepper and mild heat, it sounds easy to eat while drinking!
Hop BroWith Pizza Day at reverb, eight taps at the main shop, and keema on top of that, it's basically perfect. Tonight makes me want to drink my way around Chitose-Karasuyama, and honestly, we want a pint too.
Tokyo's Setagaya Ward Minami-Karasuyama Novel Craft announced a "Pizza Day by Tyson Pizza" at its sister shop reverb. In the post, the main Novel Craft location said it would continue its regular service and welcome purchases of bottles and cans, as well as takeout. Not only can you stop in for a beer, you can also buy some to take home for drinking there too, which feels very on-brand for this place.
The tap list for the day had eight beers. In addition to Garage × LHG / ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door / Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods / Grisette, and Minoh Beer / Pilsner, it also featured Novel Craft Brewing / Over Dub, Wah, Sweep, and Field Ales / Blend Pale. The lineup brings together distinctive imported brewery picks and the house brand's standard and new releases, offering a wide range of styles.
For glass pours, kemker / Appel Wine no.03-2022 was also highlighted. It is an oak-barrel-aged cider matured for one year, with notes said to evoke pineapple and lemon in addition to apple aroma. Mixing in fermented drinks like this, not just beer, is another part of the shop's craft-focused lineup.
On the food side, Sichuan mapo-tofu-style keema was also available. It is seasoned with sansho pepper while keeping the heat moderate, and you can also choose the portion size. It makes for an easy setup both for a night spent savoring each individual tap and for drinking alongside a meal.
Paired with reverb's Pizza Day, Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama offers a drinking style that feels unique to that day. On days when both locations are active, the post conveyed both the breadth of the shop's beer selection and the flexibility of its operating style.
