Hop BroChitose-Karasuyama is looking good tonight, with an eight-tap lineup at Novel Craft. They've got Belwoods, Georgetown, and house beers from Novel Craft Brewing all on together.
MugiWait, eight taps at once!? I only just got into craft beer, I'd stare at that menu like it's a final exam. And they have house brews too?
Hop BroThey do, and five are house-made. Echo, Delay, Wah, BPM 80, and Reloop. The brewery is brewing while the pub opens at 5 p.m., so the whole place feels connected.
MugiThose names sound like a band setlist! Which ones jump out first?
Hop BroFrom the guest side, Lucille IPA and Belwoods' Come What May Dry-Hopped grab you fast. Then there's Reflection, the collab with Cave D'occi, so the tasting flow is really clean.
MugiHold on, what is dry-hopped!? You're not sprinkling dried hops on top like seasoning, right?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It's an aroma-focused technique: hops get added later in the process so you get more vivid scent and less sharp bitterness. It's the kind of beer that wins the moment you lift the glass.
MugiOhh! So Belwoods is for aroma, Georgetown covers the classic IPA lane, and Novel Craft's five beers let you read the brewery's personality.
Hop BroExactly, and with the burger vibe in the mix, it's basically the perfect after-work pint. Brewing in back and pouring up front is such a Novel Craft move.
MugiThat's it, I need a tasting flight right now! I'll take a burger and Reflection, and you're obviously starting with Lucille IPA, then we're marching through all five house beers.
In its Instagram post, Novel Craft announced a 17:00 opening and noted that brewing was underway at the brewery. The message frames the pub as a natural stop for a beer after work in the Chitose-Karasuyama area.
