Hop BroThe beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, Novel Craft's Looper tapping is here. They refreshed all eight taps at once around the flagship Saison.
MugiWhoa! Eight taps refreshed sounds like I'd get lost standing in front of the fridge! But if it's the flagship, does that mean it's the first one I should drink?
Hop BroExactly. Looper, the Saison, is like the venue's signature beer, and what makes it appealing is its balance of lightness and aroma. When people talk about Saison, it's a style that often shows fermentation-derived spiciness and a dry finish.
MugiHuh! But what does Saison taste like? Just hearing the name, it feels too stylish for me to picture the flavor at all!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's about combining aroma and crispness. If you drink it as your first beer, like Mugi-chan, it clears up your palate, and then the umami spreads gently afterward.
MugiI get it! And it says the lineup is spring-like, and just the name Yorocco Beer's "Haru-rai" already feels so seasonal!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. There's a range from light to rich, with Yorocco Beer's "Haru-rai," Passific Brewing's "Sprinkle!," and even Left Hand's "Peanut Butter Milk Stout."
MugiWhat is that! Pils and stout coexisting is like inviting friends with totally different personalities to the same table!
Hop BroAnd since Vinohradsky's "Vinohradska 11" and Passific Brewing's "Zwickle Pils" are in there too, it's a fun lineup for side-by-side tasting. The pils is crisp, the stout is rich, and the Saison leads with aroma.
MugiWow, that's hard to choose! But if they have jerk chicken and sausages too, being able to eat a little and drink is the best. It's the kind of place you want to stop by after work!
Hop BroThe 5 p.m. opening time is nice too. Since it's a time when you can aim for the first drink, today makes me want to start with Looper and work through the spring taps one by one.
MugiIt's decided! First Looper, then "Haru-rai," and finish with the stout! Now I'm in the mood to drink right away!
