Novel Craft Releases June 1 Tap List: Eight Beers Including ADRENOCHROME and Sky Walker IPA
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, has unveiled its June 1 tap list. The bar opens at 6 p.m. today and is pouring eight taps, including Garage × LHG's ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door IPA, and Bellwoods Grisette. The post also mentions bottles, cans, and take-home use.
Hop BroToday, the Novel Craft tap list in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward is interesting. It's June 1, and it opens at 6 p.m., which is the kind of thing that pulls you in on the way home from work.
MugiWhoa, it opens at 18:00 OPEN!? If I see that time, my feet are already heading on their own toward the second floor of the Kazama Building on the way home!
Hop BroThe lineup has eight taps, including IPA, grisette, and pale styles, so it's a really fun set for tasting side by side today.
MugiWhat's a grisette? It sounds light and fluffy, but what kind of beer is a grisette?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a light and dry malt-forward beer. Because it's not too heavy, it's great on hot days when you want something easy to drink.
MugiOh, I see! Then tasting it side by side with a beer with a strong-sounding name like ADRENOCHROME must make the difference huge!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Garage × LHG's ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door IPA, and Yorocco Beer's Sky Walker IPA all make sure the hop-forward side is well represented.
MugiAnd they even have Over Dub and Looper with the shop name in them!? Wow, it's like the bar's self-introduction is starting inside the glass!
Hop BroExactly. When the two Novel Craft Brewing beers are on tap, you can really see the shop's atmosphere. And with Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Tranquil Ale and Field Ales' Blend Pale too, you get a really broad tasting range.
MugiAnd they even have a Sichuan mapo tofu-style keema? Sansho pepper and IPA sound like they'd get along great in your mouth!
Hop BroThat's right. It's nice that it's good for a drink on the way home, and for takeout too. Just having that one drink at the end of a hot day settles you down.
MugiYeah, today's decided! For my after-work treat, I want to enjoy the IPA, the grisette, and the keema all together!

The lineup spans IPAs, grisettes, pale-style beers, and ales, making it easy to move across styles and compare them side by side. In particular, Novel Craft Brewing contributes two beers, Over Dub and Looper, which reflect the shop's character directly on tap. The mix of names from Garage × LHG, Trap Door, Bellwoods, Yorocco Beer, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, and Field Ales is also a highlight, bringing together domestic and international brewers.
The post also noted a "today's curry" of keema inspired by Sichuan mapo tofu. With sansho pepper accenting the dish, it should pair well with hop-forward IPAs as well as light, refreshing grisettes. Located on the second floor of the Kazama Building, it sounds like a spot well suited to an evening of relaxed drinking after work.
