Hop BroNovel Craft is really going all out by setting up at the Chitose-Karasuyama yatai festival.
MugiWhoa! Beer at a festival sounds amazing! But it’s kind of sad that the main shop will be closed.
Hop BroOn the plus side, the venue will let people enjoy four kinds of house-brewed beer properly.
MugiWhat? Just seeing the lineup of Looper, Sweep, Borrowed Thyme, and Wah is already way too stylish!
Hop BroAnd `Looper` is a saison, `Sweep` is a session IPA, and `Wah` is a pale ale.
MugiSaison and session IPA sound like spells, don't they? I have no idea what the difference is!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, a saison is aromatic and on the drier side, while a session IPA is a lighter, easier-to-drink IPA.
MugiOhhh, so that makes it perfect for an event that runs from 11:00 to 17:00, where you can start drinking from lunchtime!
Hop BroExactly. Novel Craft usually operates with six taps at its core, so its character comes through even at events.
MugiIt’s great when you can see the brewery’s personality at a neighborhood festival! Now I really want to raise a glass in Chitose-Karasuyama!
Novel Craft (2F, Kazama Building, 4-13-9 Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo) is a beer pub and bottle shop operating in Chitose-Karasuyama. It regularly offers house-brewed beers and selected beers, and is known as a place where guests can relax at the counter and enjoy each drink one at a time.
In this Instagram post, the shop announced its participation in the annual "Chitose-Karasuyama Mero Street Yatai Festival." The post said that the storefront will be closed for business, and that four beers will be available at the event: `Looper`, `Sweep`, `Borrowed Thyme`, and `Wah`. Service hours are from 11:00 to 17:00, making it easy to enjoy beer from lunchtime onward.
Checking publicly available data, all four beers are from Novel Craft Brewing. `Looper` is registered as a saison, `Sweep` as a session IPA, and `Wah` as a pale ale, while `Borrowed Thyme` is also a label from the same brewery. One highlight of the day is that the setup effectively brings the brewery's house lineup straight into a street-food festival setting.
Novel Craft usually operates with six taps at its core and also supports takeout in growlers and plastic cups, so its approach remains consistent even at event stalls. For beer fans, this is an announcement worth watching, as it offers a chance to see what kind of pours a shop that supports the Chitose-Karasuyama beer scene will bring to the neighborhood festival.
