Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, posted its August 10 lineup on Instagram. The bar highlighted Brasserie De Blaugies' Saison D'epeautre by the glass, eight taps, and a burger option for the holiday eve.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama is opening at 5 p.m. today, and they’ve got 8 taps plus a holiday-eve-only burger lineup.
MugiWhat! On a weekday and they’re going that hard? Just hearing holiday-eve burger makes me want to head there after work.
Hop BroAnd the By The Glass feature is Belgium’s Brasserie De Blaugies pouring Saison D'epeautre.
MugiWhat is that! I can barely read it. Sounds like a spell, but is it actually delicious?
Hop BroSaison is a farmhouse-style beer, and this one is a dry saison brewed with spelt wheat.
MugiOhh! But what even is spelt? Is it basically wheat’s old cousin or something?
Hop BroThat’s pretty close. It brings an old-grain kind of character, with pear and clove notes, then finishes with a clean, crisp finish.
MugiSo it smells soft and fancy, then ends snappy? That contrast in the sip is unfair. I’d never stop at one.
Hop BroThe tap list is stacked too: Celladoor’s True Born, CRAFTROCK’s Ocean Avenue, Novel Craft Brewing’s Echo and Delay, plus Reflection and Reloop across eight total taps.
MugiIf they’ve got IPA, milk stout, fruit-forward beer, and collabs, this is basically a tasting paradise. And Peanut Butter Milk Stout sounds ridiculous.
Hop BroThen add the burger, cheddar mash with herb bread, simmered chicken and root vegetables, and spicy spare ribs, and suddenly it’s a serious food day too. I want a pint already.
MugiStart with that saison, work through the 8 taps, then finish with the burger... I officially want to go now.
