Hop BroNovel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama has released an eight-tap lineup today. With plenty of simmered dishes too, it sounds perfect for autumn.
MugiWhat! Beer with simmered dishes sounds like a dream. Put oden in front of me and I’ll want every tap!
Hop BroThe highlight is remix on tap, a collaboration between Yorocco Beer and Novel Craft Brewing. It’s exciting when brewers combine their ideas.
MugiWhen breweries collaborate, what do they mix—a secret potion? Or your socks, Hop?
Hop BroNever my socks! A collaboration means breweries bring recipes and brewing ideas together—basically brewing two personalities into one beer.
MugiWhoa! Then trying four beers side by side from Novel Craft Brewing could reveal the brewery’s character.
Hop BroThey have Looper, Reloop, Tape Delay, and Dub Echo. Those names evoke repeated sounds, so spotting flavor differences should be fun.
MugiDoes Tape Delay make your reaction arrive late? Like, “Tasty… tasty…” with an echoing mouth?
Hop BroI’d laugh if I heard that at the bar. Guest taps include Bellwoods’ White Picket Fence and Antelope’s Sanagi No.5 - Enn, so there’s something for every mood.
MugiSimmered squid, motsu stew, nikudofu, oden—and even five-vegetable saag chicken curry! I want a beer in Chitose-Karasuyama right now!
Novel Craft, a beer pub located on the second floor of Kazama Building in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, Tokyo, has released its current tap list. The pub pairs a broad selection of craft beer with food designed for relaxed drinking.
The list features eight beers. The collaboration remix from Yorocco Beer and Novel Craft Brewing is joined by four beers from Novel Craft Brewing: Looper, Reloop, Tape Delay, and Dub Echo. Together, they offer an opportunity to explore the brewery’s own lineup alongside a collaborative release.
Two guest beers round out the selection: Bellwoods’ White Picket Fence and Antelope’s Sanagi No.5 - Enn. With a mix of beers from different breweries, guests can choose anything from an easy-drinking pour to a beer suited to slow tasting.

The day’s curry is a five-vegetable saag chicken curry, described as having a fresh, distinctly vegetal character despite its non-green appearance. A mini portion is also available with the house-baked bread set.
For beer drinkers looking for a warm neighborhood atmosphere, substantial Japanese comfort food, and a varied tap list, Novel Craft offers an appealing stop in Chitose-Karasuyama. Availability may change, so guests should confirm the current lineup at the pub.
