At the beer pub "Novel Craft" in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, three bottles from Novel Craft Brewing are being sold for takeaway. They can also be enjoyed in the bar, where the taps feature distinctive domestic and imported beers, and the food menu is well stocked.
Hop BroA beer pub in Minamikarasuyama has brought out three bottles from Novel Craft. You can drink them there or take them home, so this one hits both the at-home drinkers and the on-site crowd.
MugiWait, you can drink there or take it to go? That's cheating. You go in planning to leave with one bottle, drink there instead, and end up taking another one home too!
Hop BroExactly. The bottles are Looper, Glitch, and Over Dub. And each one has a completely different personality, so tasting them side by side is fun.
MugiWhat?! When you say saison, all I know is that it sounds fancy!
Hop BroSimply put, Looper is the flagship with a refreshing, dry character. The hop and yeast aromas rise softly, and the finish drops off cleanly, so it's strong on hot days.
MugiOh, I see! So what about Glitch? A light 4.5% body sounds like a guaranteed easy drinker!
Hop BroGlitch is a session ale with a strong New Zealand hop aroma, and it's a collaboration with Sanity in Sangenjaya. It's juicy but not heavy, the kind of beer that makes you want another sip right away.
MugiA collaboration too!? And Over Dub is a dark saison? So it's dark but refreshing? This is a lot to process!
Hop BroThat's right. Over Dub combines the toasty aroma of roasted malt with the fruity character and spice of saison yeast. It looks calm, but inside it's pretty layered.
MugiAnd the tap list in the bar is packed, right? Not just beer, but jerk chicken and nanbanzuke too? My stomach is holding its own meeting over this!
Hop BroExactly. And they even have kemker's Appel Wine no.03-2022, so the drink options with food are broad. Some days they open at 18:00, and honestly, this is the kind of place where you just settle in and drink in Minamikarasuyama.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want a bottle at home and a pint at the bar! Today at Novel Craft, I'm starting with one bottle, no, two!
