Novel Craft Brewing opens Dubwise stout and suggests a house roast pork pairing
In a July 4 Instagram post, Novel Craft Brewing in Suginami introduced Dubwise, a stout described as rich in roast character and suited to relaxed drinking. The brewery also suggested pairing it with house-made roast pork prepared the day before.
Hop BroOn July 4 in Suginami, there was a tap news item worth chasing: Novel Craft Brewing just put its stout “Dubwise” on.
MugiWhat! That name Dubwise already sounds musical. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a roasty stout with a solid toasted character, but the post frames it as the kind you want to sip nice and slow.
MugiHuh! When you say roasty character, I instantly get hungry like a toaster just walked into the room!
Hop BroThat’s actually not far off. With roasted malt, you get aromas like coffee and dark chocolate, so it comes across as toasty rather than burnt.
MugiNo way, a drinkable cafe mocha? That sounds amazing! And “sip it slow” makes it a champion for lazy-day drinking.
Hop BroAnd the best part is the house-made char siu they suggested alongside it. The pork’s sweetness and the stout’s roast notes should team up beautifully.
MugiWait, char siu with stout can actually be friends? I thought dark beer liked to stand alone and look serious!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it. The taps also include Down Tempo and Over Dub, so you can compare beers and play around with food pairings too.
MugiI’m already in heading-to-Suginami mode! I want Dubwise with that char siu right now.
Hop BroSame here. First pour: Dubwise, then maybe a second round through the rest of the taps, and probably extra pork by the end.
MugiFully ready to drink! Stout and char siu as a reward combo sounds perfect.
Tokyo's Novel Craft Brewing shared on Instagram on July 4 that it had tapped its house stout Dubwise. The post describes the beer as a stout with a strong roast character, positioned as an easygoing beer to sip at a relaxed pace.
The same tap list also included Down Tempo, Over Dub, BPM 80, Sweep, Glitch, and Dubwise, along with a guest beer, Craftrock Brewing / Alternative IPA. Taken together, the lineup suggests a mix of house beers built around the new stout plus one outside option for comparison.
The brewery also pointed to a food pairing: house-made roast pork prepared the day before. The combination fits the beer's roasted profile and gives visitors a clear serving suggestion rather than a vague promotional line.
Based in Suginami, Tokyo, Novel Craft Brewing continues to present its beers in a way that connects flavor, tap rotation, and food. This post is a straightforward update, but it gives beer fans enough detail to picture what is being poured and how it is meant to be enjoyed.
