Hop BroAt Novel Craft in Minamikarasuyama, Field Ales' Pint has been tapped. It has a gentle hop aroma and a soft body, the kind that makes you want just one more.
MugiWait, wanting to drink any number of glasses is dangerously good!? And the place has "Novel" in the name, but the beer being this delicious is unfair!
Hop BroThe thing is, the hops don't push too hard, so the aroma comes through softly and it goes down smoothly. In style terms, it's a well-balanced drinking beer.
MugiBalanced how!? Why do I need such a pro's perspective just to drink beer?
Hop BroIn short, it's good at building aroma and body. For drinkers, it's "delicious," and for brewers, it's "beautifully designed" - a beer with something to learn from.
MugiWow, and the tap list is amazing, it's a drinker's paradise! Collective Arts' Hazy State, Cellador's Lou, and Novel Craft Brewing's Wah too?
Hop BroExactly. From Hazy styles to lagers like Mugi Zakkoku Kobo / Creek Lager, the lineup makes it easy to compare differences in aroma intensity and body on the same night. Having the house-brewed Wah on tap is also very on-brand for the place.
MugiWait, a place with its own house-brewed Wah suddenly feels way more like a "you can only drink this here" kind of spot! And even the name has this weirdly high-energy vibe!
Hop BroAnd they also serve pulled pork curry, so the rich flavor of the slowly simmered meat keeps the beer going. Drinking while looking over the taps inside the second-floor space sounds pretty blissful.
MugiNo way, I want to go in all-out from the very first stop! If I drink Pint, compare Wah too, and finish with curry, that would be the best!
At the beer pub "Novel Craft" in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, Field Ales' "Pint" has been tapped. In the post, the beer is introduced as having a gently aromatic hop character and a soft, smooth body, with a flavor that makes you want to keep drinking it. It is described as a bottle worth trying even from a brewer's perspective, with a note to taste it before it runs out.
The Tap List for the day included `Collective Arts / Hazy State`, `Cellador / Lou`, `Novel Craft Brewing / Wah`, `Mingel / Turn! Turn! Turn!`, `Mugi Zakkoku Kobo / Creek Lager`, `Novel Craft Brewing / Wah`, and `Field Ales / Pint`. The lineup ranges from hop-forward selections to lagers and the house-brewed `Wah`, making it easy to compare the different directions each beer takes.
The shop also serves "pulled pork curry." It is a spicy dish made with pork that has been simmered slowly, and it seems like it would pair well with beer without getting in the way of the aroma or body. Another appealing part of this place is the enjoyment of choosing a preferred glass while looking over the taps inside the second-floor space. As a beer pub, it works well both as a starting point for comparison drinking and as a first stop that includes food.
