Hop BroToday's topic is Novel Craft ノベルクラフト in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward. They're pouring Kemker's "pomonata" By The Glass, and it's a really interesting one.
MugiWhoa! Just the name pomonata already sounds so stylish! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe post describes it as a cider-style piquette. It's a pretty distinctive bottle made by pressing apples a second time and blending them with quince and fermented blackcurrant leaves.
MugiSecond pressing? What is that even! It sounds like some secret factory technique, and now it's suddenly complicated!
Hop BroTo put it simply, after the first juice is pressed out, it's pressed again to draw out more fruit character. That lets the softness of the apple come through, layered with the aroma of quince and the nuance of the leaves.
MugiI see! So the flavor is mainly about that light acidity? It sounds incredibly easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, it gives impressions of apple skin, brioche, lemon, blackberry, and pineapple, and then finishes clean and crisp. You could say the layers of aroma stack together really beautifully.
MugiWait, an apple drink with blackberry notes too!? That's basically a fruit conference!
Hop BroAnd it's not just By The Glass either. The taps also include Garage × LHG's ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods' Grisette, falo brewing's Swallow Draft, and two beers from Novel Craft Brewing, so the tap list is really heating up.
MugiThat sounds fun! And if they also have things like Sichuan-mapo-tofu-style keema, that's the kind of place where you just keep drinking!
Hop BroExactly. If you're stopping by after work in the Chitose-Karasuyama area, it's a perfect fit, and the 6 p.m. opening is convenient too. It's the kind of place that makes you want to take your time and enjoy a drink with food.
MugiDeal! Tonight I want to start with an after-work drink and go after the pomonata!
