Novel Craft announces 18:00 opening with eight beers on tap
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Chitose-Karasuyama, Setagaya, says it will open at 18:00 today. The post highlights assorted snacks and an eight-beer tap list featuring Brasserie De la Senne, Left Hand, and several house beers.
Hop BroChitose-Karasuyama is looking good today. Novel Craft opens at 6 PM tonight and they’ve posted an eight-tap lineup.
MugiWait, eight taps is a lot, right!? If I saw that after work, there is no way I’m going straight home.
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. They’ve got Brasserie De la Senne’s Zinnebir and even Left Hand’s Peanut Butter Milk Stout.
MugiHold on, does milk stout actually have milk in it!? Add peanut butter and now it sounds like a dessert championship.
Hop BroNot quite that literal. Lactose gives it a smoother body, so it’s easier to think of it as a dessert-like dark beer.
MugiWhoa, okay, now I’m interested! Then what does that Belgian beer taste like?
Hop BroIt’s light but aromatic, with that classic Belgian yeast character. Brewers call that yeast-derived esters, meaning notes like banana or spice.
MugiWhat is this, science class all of a sudden!? But banana-like aroma makes it way easier to imagine.
Hop BroAnd there’s more: Novel Craft Brewing’s Echo, Delay, and Reloop, plus the Novel Craft × Cave D'occi collab beer Reflection. You really get the house personality.
MugiThey’ve got snacks too, and that weathered signboard on the second floor by Koban Street is the landmark, right? Sounds easy to drop into even solo.
Hop BroExactly, and with Celladoor’s True Born and CRAFTROCK’s Ocean Avenue in the mix, the tap rotation fun is very real. I already want a pint.
MugiSame here! At this point I want to walk into Novel Craft and seriously debate my first pour before I even sit down.
