Hop BroToday’s topic is Novel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya. Their 8-beer tap list for July 22 looks seriously good, and they’re opening at 18:00.
MugiWait, all 8 sound tempting! What breweries and beers are on there?
Hop BroThey’ve got Belwoods’ Come What May Dry-Hopped, Georgetown’s Lucille IPA, Yorocco Beer’s All You Need is Flowers, the Cave D'occi collab Reflection, plus Delay, Wah, Dubwise, and Down Tempo under the Novel Craft Brewing name. It’s basically four straight house beers.
MugiWhat is this lineup, guest taps and house brews in the same row like that? Also, you said “Dry-Hopped” way too casually. What does that even mean?
Hop BroDry hopping means adding hops after fermentation so you boost aroma more than bitterness. Basically, it’s a late aroma charge.
MugiOhhh! Then what about that post saying they’re brewing a saison? That sounds like some seasonal magic spell to me!
Hop BroA saison is a style known for a crisp, dry finish and a really refreshing feel. This one is the base for their 12th anniversary beer.
MugiSo it’s not just a tap update. Seeing what’s in the tanks too makes you feel the vibe of the day at their Chitose-Karasuyama pub!
Hop BroExactly. With Belwoods and Georgetown in the mix and those four house beers grouped together, you can instantly read where Novel Craft is right now. Honestly, I already want to start with Lucille IPA because it’s such a well-balanced lineup.
MugiThat settles it. I want to get there for 18:00 and toast with Lucille IPA or Reflection first. I want a glass right now!
