Novel Craft Opens at 5 p.m., Revealing 8 Taps Including Garage x LHG's ADRENOCHROME
The beer pub Novel Craft in Tokyo's Chitose-Karasuyama released its tap list along with notice of a 5 p.m. opening on May 22. The lineup ranges widely, from Garage Beer Co. x Left Handed Giant's 'ADRENOCHROME' to Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods' Grisette, and two house-brewed beers.
Hop BroToday, the tap update at the beer pub Novel Craft in Tokyo's Chitose-Karasuyama is hot. Opening at 5 p.m. is a great setup for dropping by after work.
MugiWhoa, a 5 p.m. opening is amazing! If you go early, you can have a drink while it's still light outside, right?
Hop BroExactly. And the headline is Garage Beer Co. x Left Handed Giant's ADRENOCHROME. With collaborations like this, it's fun to see the breweries' personalities collide.
MugiWhat is that? Does a collaboration beer end up getting confusing because the flavors get mixed together?
Hop BroQuite the opposite. It's like multiplying each brewery's strengths. For something like Trap Door IPA, the hop aroma tends to take center stage, so you can expect a bold, satisfying drink.
MugiOhh! But Grisette is way too unfamiliar a name. It suddenly sounds like a French movie!
Hop BroGrisette is originally a style known for its light, dry finish. In other words, it has a crisp, easy-drinking profile that pairs well with food.
MugiThen the snacks matter too! Something like Sichuan mapo tofu-style keema already sounds like it'll make the beer go down fast!
Hop BroThat's the strong point. There are also two house-brewed beers, Splore and Sweep, so the lineup really shows the shop's character.
MugiAnd with Kemker's pomonata too, the world of fermented drinks is huge...! Today makes you want to take it slow in Chitose-Karasuyama.
Hop BroFinishing with Edelpils is nice too, and this is already a lineup that makes you want to drink. Nights like this are always good.
Novel Craft (Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward) announced in its May 22 post, '17:00 OPEN.' Even on a chilly Friday, the notice is timed for a window that makes it easy to stop by after work or after drinks, underscoring the convenience of a station-adjacent beer pub in Chitose-Karasuyama.
The food for the day was 'Sichuan mapo tofu-style keema' seasoned with sansho pepper, and 'macaroni salad with spinach, tuna, and egg.' It is a menu that works both for people who want a solid meal and for those who want to drink while snacking lightly.
On the beer side, overseas breweries and house brews were balanced well. On tap were Garage Beer Co. x Left Handed Giant's 'ADRENOCHROME,' the hop-forward 'Trap Door IPA,' the light 'Grisette,' and 'Sun Dance' and 'Tsubame Draft.' From the house-brewed Novel Craft Brewing brand, 'Splore' and 'Sweep' were also on, creating a lineup that makes the shop's character easy to feel.
By The Glass also featured Kemker's 'pomonata.' Even as a beer pub, having a drink that looks beyond beer to other fermented beverages is part of the appeal. Edelpils was also waiting at the finish, making it an easy lineup to choose from depending on your mood, from light and aroma-driven to smooth-drinking options.
It is a place suited for a day when you want to enjoy food and beer at a relaxed pace in Chitose-Karasuyama.
