Novel Craft Brewing releases bottled Dub Echo dark lager
Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo has announced a bottled release of Dub Echo, a 4.5% dark lager. The brewery describes it as a drier version of one of its most popular dark beers, available both for takeaway and for drinking on site.
Hop BroTonight's headline is Dub Echo in bottles. Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo just made its dark lager available for take-home too.
MugiWait, a black lager? I thought lagers were all golden and crushable, so my brain just tripped.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A low-temperature lager stays crisp, and Dub Echo looks dark without drinking heavy. It's only 4.5% ABV, so it goes down easy.
MugiWhoa. But drier with time doesn't mean it sat around and evaporated in the fridge, right?!
Hop BroNot beer jerky, thankfully. Aging smooths the sweetness, so the finish lands cleaner and snappier. That's why it works as an easy bottle for home.
MugiWhat! If it's one of their most popular beers and they're finally releasing kept-back bottle stock, that feels kind of special.
Hop BroExactly. This is a stock release, and you can drink it in-house or take it home. You can grab it at reverb in Takaido.
MugiEven the name reverb is cool. A brewpub setup means the brewery and the bar are basically fused together like some beer mecha, right?
Hop BroHonestly, pretty much. It's a brew-and-pour setup that's home base for Novel Craft Brewing. And names like Looper, Over Dub, and Down Tempo keep the music theme going.
MugiOkay, that is stylish. And if they're serving gapao-style chicken keema, this dark lager has to be calling for food.
Hop BroThat's where it clicks. Roast and spice should lock together without fighting, and the 5 p.m. open already has me planning first pour.
MugiI'm sold. I want a bar pour and a bottle, then I'm taking one home before I change my mind.
Dub Echo released in bottles
Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami, Tokyo has announced a bottled release of Dub Echo, one of its most popular dark lagers. In the post, the brewery says the beer had been held back as bottle stock and is now being released from that reserve.
Dub Echo is listed as a `Dark Lager` at `4.5% ABV`. According to the brewery, the beer has become drier over time. Despite its dark appearance, it is positioned as a beer that works well as a takeaway bottle, while still being available for drinking on site.
Novel Craft Brewing operates out of the Takai-dō area, where its taproom `reverb` serves its house beers. The brewery has built a lineup with music-inspired names such as `Looper`, `Over Dub`, and `Down Tempo`, and Dub Echo fits naturally into that theme. The post also notes a 5 p.m. opening and a gapao-rice-style chicken keema curry on the menu.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
