Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, announced an 18:00 opening on August 13 due to scheduling changes. The bar is serving Brasserie De Blaugies Saison D'epeautre by the glass, alongside eight taps.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama has a 6 PM opening on August 13. The owner finishes brewery work first and then heads back to the pub, which feels very real-world brewer life.
MugiWait, straight-from-brewday service? Even in bad weather? That somehow makes the first pint feel ten times more earned!
Hop BroAnd the By The Glass pick is Saison D'epeautre. It's a classic saison from Brasserie De Blaugies, and that choice is seriously tasteful.
MugiWhoa, but what is saison exactly? The name sounds so stylish my brain is already imagining a fashion runway!
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-style ale, and this one uses spelt wheat. It drinks dry and crisp, with pear-like esters and a clove-like phenolic note.
MugiHold on, esters and phenols? We were talking beer, and suddenly I feel like I need safety goggles!
Hop BroBasically, think pear and spice. It smells softly fruity, then gives you that clove-like lift, and the finish stays clean and snappy.
MugiAnd the food includes cheddar mash potatoes and spicy spare ribs? My mouth is already hosting a full pairing committee meeting!
Hop BroThen there's the eight-tap lineup. You get house beers like Echo, Delay, and Reloop from Novel Craft Brewing, plus guests like True Born, Ocean Avenue, Peanut Butter Milk Stout, Flor de Jamaica, and Reflection.
MugiWhat is this, a comparison-flight paradise? Chasing the house brews while sneaking off to guest beers sounds like the kind of plan that runs out of glassware fast!
Hop BroThis is the kind of place where the first pour wins. Slip in at 6, start with Saison D'epeautre, and I can already see both of us ordering more food and absolutely wanting that next drink.
