Novel Craft Brewing opens at 5 p.m. and points to Barchie's BBQ Pop Up at reverb
Novel Craft in Setagaya opens at 5 p.m., while sister venue reverb lines up a Barchie's BBQ Pop Up from Kamakura. The tap list spans house beers like Tape Delay #2 and guest pours including Taras Boulba and Passific IPA.
Hop BroToday is all about Novel Craft opening at 17:00 in Setagaya, and their sister spot reverb is also hosting a Barchie's BBQ Pop Up, so it feels like a built-in bar crawl.
MugiWhat! Beer straight into BBQ? That sounds so good my stomach is ready before I am!
Hop BroAnd Novel Craft Brewing's house lineup looks strong. Tape Delay #2 leads the list, with Looper #5, Tremolo #2, Wah #2, and Analog Delay alongside it.
MugiWhoa, but tap list sounds kind of intimidating, like I need to pass a boss battle first!
Hop BroNothing scary there. It just means the beers currently on draft, basically the live menu of what's pouring at the pub.
MugiOkay, got it! And house-brewed means they made it themselves, right? Beer born in-house somehow makes it feel extra personal!
Hop BroExactly. The guest side is fun too: Taras Boulba from Brasserie de la Senne, ESB from baeren, plus Passific IPA and FHYME from Passific Brewing, so you get house and guest crossover in one session.
MugiHang on, ESB and IPA just sounded like secret codes. What do they actually taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, ESB usually leans more malty, while IPA tends to push hop aroma forward. That's why starting light and working through the list makes the differences easier to catch.
MugiThat rules! Start drinking in Chitose-Karasuyama, then head to reverb for BBQ, and suddenly it's a full-day beer field trip. I want this immediately!
Hop BroAnd those music-inspired beer names make the whole lineup easier to follow while pairing with food. It really feels like the ideal pub setup for the day.
MugiThen it's settled: first pour at Novel Craft, meat at reverb, and by the end I want the whole tasting run. I am absolutely ready to drink!
Novel Craft, the Setagaya beer pub, opens at 5 p.m. in this post. Its sister venue reverb is also highlighted with a Barchie's BBQ Pop Up from Kamakura, making it an easy day to start with beer in Chitose-Karasuyama and then continue the crawl.
The tap list centers on Novel Craft Brewing house beers: `Tape Delay #2`, `Looper #5`, `Tremolo #2`, `Wah #2`, and `Analog Delay`. Guest pours widen the range with `Taras Boulba` from Brasserie de la Senne, `ESB` from baeren, plus `Passific IPA` and `FHYME` from Passific Brewing. That mix gives the pub a strong tasting-board feel without losing its food-friendly focus.
The music-inspired beer names make the lineup easy to read as a set, and the BBQ Pop Up adds a clear food anchor. It is the kind of tap list that works both for a quick first pint and for a slower round of comparing styles alongside a meal.
