Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama Opens at 5 p.m. with Saison D'epeautre and Four House Beers
Novel Craft, a beer pub in southern Tokyo's Chitose-Karasuyama area, announced a 5 p.m. opening with beer and food on offer. The lineup includes Brasserie De Blaugies' Saison D'epeautre, four house beers, guest taps, and pub dishes such as mashed potatoes and herb bread.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama looks strong today. They open at 5 p.m. sharp, with Brasserie De Blaugies' Saison D'epeautre plus four house beers on tap.
MugiWait, seriously? That sounds stacked. And Saison D'epeautre already feels hard to pronounce after one sip!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's a spelt wheat saison from Brasserie De Blaugies, with aromas like pear and clove, then a really crisp dry finish.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? Dry finish sounds like you're describing laundry, not beer!
Hop BroHere's the deal: saison is a light, easy-drinking style, and it often throws off phenolic aromas. In plain language, pear-and-clove aroma comes through, but the sweetness doesn't linger.
MugiOhhh, that actually makes sense now! So what are the four house beers from Novel Craft?
Hop BroThey've got Novel Craft Brewing's Red Purple, Reloop, Echo, and Delay, plus guest beers like Celladoor's Trueborn, Left Hand's Peanut Butter Milk Stout, and CRAFTROCK's Joy Hopposites. That's a wide tasting range right there.
MugiHold on, Peanut Butter Milk Stout is a real beer? That sounds like dessert escaped and joined the tap list!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is no joke either. They've got cheddar mash potatoes, rosemary-and-oregano bread, chicken and root vegetables simmered with flying fish stock, and limited spicy spare ribs.
MugiThat is way beyond 'just grab a drink.' Spicy spare ribs with that stout sounds like a night-ending combo in the best way.
Hop BroIt gets better: they also do takeout in growlers and special PET bottles, so if you find a favorite, overtime at home is built into the plan.
MugiThat's almost too efficient. Start with the saison at 5, work through the house taps, then bring some home? I want a pint now.
