Novel Craft Pours Kemkur's Coolship Pils and Six More Taps
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, shared its tap list in a post announcing a 5 p.m. opening. The lineup includes beers from Kemkur, Ruse Brewing, Minoh Beer, a Cave D'occi collaboration, and three house beers, alongside a green curry-style spice curry.
Hop BroToday's headline is Novel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama. They've got Kemkur's Coolship Pils leading a seven-beer tap lineup, which is a very dangerous thing after work.
MugiWait, Coolship Pils? That sounds crisp and mysterious at the same time. What makes it different?
Hop BroA coolship is a traditional shallow vessel used to cool wort in open air, so think open-cooled pils with a little extra depth and character.
MugiWhat is that! So the beer is basically taking an outdoor bath? Hot spring beer is somehow the image in my head now.
Hop BroAnd the range is strong. They've got Ruse Brewing's Glass Shadows IPA, Minoh Beer's Spring Lager, Cave D'occi × Novel Craft's Reflection, with guest taps and house brews all on the same list.
MugiAnd Novel Craft Brewing is pouring Sweep, BPM 80, and Down Tempo too, right? Three house-made beers at once is a trap for beginners like me.
Hop BroIf you want easy drinking, go Spring Lager. If you want aroma, go Glass Shadows IPA. If you want the pub's personality, chase Novel Craft Brewing's trio. That's where the fun starts.
MugiBut BPM 80 and Down Tempo sound like songs, not pints! Music-title beers already have me emotionally invested.
Hop BroExactly, and Reflection gives you that collab angle too. Dropping in a collaboration beer between the house pours makes the whole tap list feel personal.
MugiAnd then they add green curry-style spice curry? That's unfair. I walk in for one drink and suddenly I'm staying for dinner.
Hop BroStart with the pils, kick it up with the curry, then finish on the IPA or the collab. From 5 p.m. it's basically a built-in tasting route, and now I want a glass too.
MugiSame here. I want to stand in front of that seven-tap lineup at Novel Craft tonight and open with Coolship Pils.
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, posted its daily tap list with a note that the bar opens at 5 p.m. The kitchen is also offering a green curry-style spice curry, which makes the place an easy stop for both a quick pint and a longer tasting session.
The lineup for the day features `Coolship Pils` from Kemkur, `Glass Shadows IPA` from Ruse Brewing, `Spring Lager` from Minoh Beer, and `Reflection` from Cave D'occi × Novel Craft. The house side is represented by three Novel Craft Brewing beers: `Sweep`, `BPM 80`, and `Down Tempo`. With pilsner, IPA, lager, a collaboration beer, and house brews all on one board, the selection is broad enough to cover both light, crisp drinking and slower, more contemplative pours.
What stands out most is the mix of guest breweries and house-made beers in the same lineup. The collaboration `Reflection` sits alongside three Novel Craft Brewing releases, giving the pub a clear identity in the glass. Housed on the second floor in a quieter part of Minamikarasuyama, Novel Craft looks like a solid place to choose a beer by mood and compare styles side by side.
