Hop BroAt Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama, you can drink Kemker's Appelwien Blend No. 01-2022 By The Glass. It's a pretty unusual bottle made with apples and quince.
MugiWait, it's cider, not beer? My head is already spinning, but it sounds delicious!
Hop BroExactly, and because it ferments in oak barrels for 12 months, it's not just a fruit-forward drink. What's interesting is how citrus and floral notes layer with a light oxidized aroma and barrel nuance.
MugiOxidized aroma? You mean a kind of slightly worn smell? That sounds kind of opposite of tasty!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, yes, but here it's not an off-flavor from spoilage; it's a settled aroma that comes from aging. The acidity and tannins are well balanced, and the depth from barrel aging comes through beautifully.
MugiWow! And the tap list is strong too. Having everything from IPA to grisette on tap is the kind of lineup that's fun just to choose from!
Hop BroFrom Garage x LHG's ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods' Grisette, Cave D'occi's Sun Dance, falo brewing's Tsubame Draft, Novel Craft Brewing's Splore and Sweep, all the way to Sapporo's Edelpils, it's a really wide-ranging lineup.
MugiWhat is that, a bottomless rabbit hole? And the food is a three-herb keema curry too? They are serious about both beer and food!
Hop BroWith thyme, oregano, and basil plus lemon and nam pla, it pairs perfectly with that tart glass. When you match it with curry, the fruit character and herbs connect and everything comes together at once.
MugiAnd on the 17th Novel Craft is closed, while its sister bar reverb is doing a mingel TTO, right? Chitose-Karasuyama is packed with events!
Hop BroThat's right. Enjoy Kemker in the shop, then the next day follow mingel from Mashiko at reverb. It's a good flow that makes you want to drink both today.
At the beer pub Novel Craft in Chitose-Karasuyama, notice was given that it would open at 5:00 p.m. on May 16, and Kemker's Appelwien Blend No. 01-2022 - apple and quince is being served By The Glass.
This bottle is a cider made with apples and quince, and it fermented in oak barrels for 12 months. The post highlighted citrus- and flower-like aromas, a light oxidized note, barrel-derived nuances, and a well-balanced combination of acidity and tannin. It is a different style from beer, but it is not to be missed for anyone interested in the depth that comes from barrel aging and the fruit character.
The in-house tap list was also shared. The lineup includes Garage x LHG's ADRENOCHROME, Trap Door's Trap Door IPA, Bellwoods' Grisette, Cave D'occi's Sun Dance, falo brewing's Tsubame Draft, Novel Craft Brewing's Splore and Sweep, and Sapporo's Edelpils. The selection ranges from a barrel-aged pour to a grisette, IPA, and draft lager.
The food is a three-herb chicken keema curry. Made with thyme, oregano, and basil along with lemon and nam pla, the post says it pairs well with the tart beer. Putting a glass at the center while also enjoying it with curry is very much in keeping with this shop.
On Sunday the 17th, Novel Craft will be closed for event preparations. At its sister bar reverb, a tap takeover featuring the Tochigi brewery mingel is scheduled. As a beer pub in Chitose-Karasuyama, it looks set to be a day that draws attention both to the pours inside the shop and to the sister-shop event.
