Dear Friends Of Novel Brewing Co., As you may have heard, we are closing our doors on Sunday, December 11. We want to thank you all for coming along with us on this adventure, and becoming our friends. Our community is truly special, and we feel privileged to have been able to provide a space for all the intellectual, creative, and emotional experiences to flourish. It is time for us to move on to the next chapter of our lives, but it is our hope that all of you will continue to bond and grow together in the space we have come to love. ❤️ Tenma Beer Project will be taking the reigns, and after a brief period of renovation, they plan to use their vast experience, and respect for the art of beer, to provide you with traditional lagers and hoppy beers in a warm and inclusive environment. Thanks for all the trivia nights, chess games at the bar, & book swap soirees. Thanks for all the history lessons, political outrage, and life updates over the years. Thanks to all those furry friends that tag along with you into the bar, wide-eyed and waiting for a treat. Thanks to all the food vendors, who tirelessly toiled to provide us all with amazing food during sunny days, wind storms, and rain outs. Thanks for being who you are. 👍 Starting today, Friday December 2, all growler fills are $8 for 32oz. / $12 for 64oz. 👍 Starting Friday December 9, all pints will be $5. See You On The Other Side (Of The Bar), Teresa and Brian

🆒 Word Play Hazy IPA :: NOW ON TAP Imagine the feeling of placing tiles that add up to 392 points, and when read in conjunction with the adjacent word makes the perfect pun to razz your opponent, and then you realize that the anagram of the word is a spoonerism for the band playing your favorite song, which just so happens to be playing over the bar speakers. Now take that feeling and pour yourself a glass of it and you get this Hazy IPA hopped up for notes of pineapple, mango, and grapefruit. ABV: 6.3% Hops: Mosaic, El Dorado #ipa #hazyipa #freshbeer #ontap​

Litotes Helles-style Lager (4.8% ABV) :: ON TAP & IN CANS :: Not a bad day’s work! We may not be the sharpest tool in the box, but we can tell you this beer definitely does not suck! Litotes is a light and refreshing uncomplicated lawnmower lager with low bitterness, restrained soft and bready body, and a spicy noble hop aroma. Pronunciation: Lie*duh*tease Nickname: Le Totes! #helleslager #lager #canrelease #ontap

Fresh Beer Notice :: EVIL LAUGH IPA For this single hop series, we added a downright maniacal amount of Mosaic hops to a crisp and clear IPA imbuing it with flavors and aromas of citrus, mango, tropical and stone fruit. Be sure to throw back an Evil Laugh before activating your doomsday device! Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha! :: 6.5% ABV :: Single-hop -- Mosaic Available ON DRAFT & CANS TO GO! #ipa #canrelease #ondraft #evillaugh

🥛Milk With Knives 🔪 Imperial Coconut Moloko Stout :: “Or you could peet milk with knives in it, as we used to say, and this would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of dirty twenty-to-one...” Although we strongly discourage twenty-to-one, peeting this imperial milk stout will nourish your stomach with a nutty chocolate and hand-toasted coconut potion that just might leave you creeching chepooka at the stars and running nagoy in the streets. :: ABV: 9.5% :: Contains lactose CAN RELEASE + ON DRAFT #happyhalloween #halloween #stout #imperialstout #canrelease #ondraft #clockworkorange

FRESH Pilsner ON TAP + CANS to go! Future History Pilsner :: When historians pen the histories of tomorrow, what beer will be in hand? If we could fire up the future-history-machine, and peer into destiny, one beer style comes to mind: The Pilsner. From 1842 to 2842 and beyond, the Pilsner, with its crisp biscuit and cracker-like body, and spicy round bitterness, will rule the known Universe. :: ABV: 5.0% #pilsner #lager #justtapped #ontap #canrelease

FRESH Byline Pale Ale ON TAP & IN CANS! Byline Pale Ale :: This was his reward for getting his first byline -- a perfectly balanced pale ale with just enough stone fruit, citrus, and pine flavors to stimulate the taste buds, but also crushable enough to help celebrate proper. :: 5.2% ABV #saturday #canrelease #justtapped #paleale #byline

Dream Vision IPA :: Have you ever had a dream vision? You know, a dream that predicts the future? I had one the other day. I awoke in a panic, remembering shattered but clairvoyant details of a giant panda, stomping trees with its magnificent paws, illuminated by midnight rainbows, granting me a quest to brew a crispy IPA with Eureka and Strata Hops—an IPA that will invigorate the Naiads with dank and dripping piney resin, yet pervading with fruit and citrus to appease the Nereids. “Only such a beer,” the panda said, “will end the thousand year war between them.” :: ABV: 6.2% :: Hops: Eureka, Strata :: Available in CANS & ON TAP​

Can Release :: Dream Vision IPA! We have been a bit LOW on the list of cans, so it is amazing to have this one added to it! Have you ever had a dream vision? You know, a dream that predicts the future? I had one the other day. I awoke in a panic, remembering shattered but clairvoyant details of a giant panda, stomping trees with its magnificent paws, illuminated by midnight rainbows, granting me a quest to brew a crispy IPA with Eureka and Strata Hops—an IPA that will invigorate the Naiads with dank and dripping piney resin, yet pervading with fruit and citrus to appease the Nereids. “Only such a beer,” the panda said, “will end the thousand year war between them.” :: ABV: 6.2% :: Hops: Strata and Eureka Current Can List: 🌈 Dream Vision IPA 🪶 Fine Feather Saison Note: Dream Vision in CANS only right now, but it will be TAPPED soon (waiting for line to open up!) #canrelease #ipa #dreamvision ​

The Dust Jacket gap is over! A super fresh batch of the Dust Jacket Hazy IPA returns to the tap list TODAY! Dust Jacket will protect your palette from unwanted bitterness, and add luscious value through haze, which brewers otherwise used to throw away -- like that neglected hardback cover that clings on to dear life, and screams "Wait! If nothing else, use me as a bookmark." We use a ton of Citra, Eureka, and Sultana to make this beer burst with hoppy aromas of grapefruit and pineapple, but also underlying dankness and pine notes to enhance complexity. With a cloud-like softness and chewier mouthfeel than a West Coast IPA, you are assured an easy drinking and delicious IPA experience. :: 6.8% ABV :: Hops: Citra, Sultana, Eureka #freshbeer #justtapped #newbatch #hazyipa #ipa​
