Hop BroHearing that Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama opens at 6 p.m. makes me want to head straight there after work.
MugiWow, a 6 p.m. start! And with plenty of snacks too, isn't that a night made for drinking?
Hop BroExactly. Since they have jerk chicken and nanban-zuke, it's set up so you can enjoy it with food, not just beer.
MugiHey, what's the glass pour for the day? Cider isn't beer, but hearing 'oak-barrel-aged cider' already makes my head feel floaty!
Hop BroIt's kemker's 'Appel Wine no.03-2022,' and it has apple aromas with pineapple and lemon notes, plus a dry, crisp finish.
MugiOh, so it has fruit character without being too sweet! But doesn't 'dry' mean it'll leave your mouth parched?
Hop BroNot quite. It means the sweetness doesn't linger and it finishes clean, so it works well with food, and the taps also span styles from IPA to grisette, so you can have fun across the board.
MugiThat's luxurious! If they have Garage × LHG's 'ADRENOCHROME,' Trap Door's IPA, and even Bellwoods' 'Grisette,' you can tour styles in one night!
Hop BroAnd they also have Cave D'occi's 'Sun Dance,' Novel Craft Brewing's 'Over Dub,' 'Wah,' and 'Sweep,' plus Field Ales' 'Blend Pale,' so it's great that their house labels are well represented.
MugiWow, being able to span domestic and overseas beers is amazing! This is the kind of night that makes me want to stay up late comparing rotating draft beers.
Hop BroThat's the plan. On the second floor in Chitose-Karasuyama, let's fully enjoy a night that makes you want to drink, with snacks in between.
