Novel Craft posts an eight-beer tap list for July 21, featuring Belwoods and house brews
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minami-Karasuyama, Setagaya, announced an 18:00 opening on July 21 due to scheduling. The tap list includes beers from Belwoods, Georgetown, Yorocco Beer, and four house-brewed Novel Craft Brewing releases.
Hop BroThe July 21 tap list at Novel Craft looks strong today. They open at 18:00, but they've got eight taps from Belwoods to their own brews.
MugiWait, 18:00 opening only? That's dangerous. An after-work stop with eight taps sounds like a trap in the best way.
Hop BroAnd the balance is clean: four guests, four house beers. Belwoods' Come What May Dry-Hopped, Georgetown's Lucille IPA, Cave D'occi × Novel Craft's Reflection, and Yorocco Beer's All You Need is Flowers are all on it.
MugiHold on, dry-hopped means what exactly? You always sound like you're casting brewing spells.
Hop BroNot a spell, a method. Late hop addition boosts aroma, so a beer like Come What May Dry-Hopped can feel more fragrant than aggressively bitter.
MugiOooh, so Lucille IPA is the classic hop-burst slot in the lineup?
Hop BroExactly. Then Reflection adds that collab appeal, and All You Need is Flowers gives the whole list a softer, more playful edge.
MugiI already want it. And Novel Craft Brewing's four house siblings - Delay, Wah, Dubwise, and Down Tempo - sound like a dub band warming up.
Hop BroThat's the real draw: brewpub comparison flight territory. In Minami-Karasuyama, you can bounce between guest beers and the pub's own brewing voice.
MugiI'm in. I want a detour to Setagaya and a serious internal debate between Lucille IPA and Reflection.
Hop BroThen we're meeting at six. With all eight taps lined up, my throat is ready before the doors are.
