Craft beer TOCA posts Aug. 14 tap list with 12 beers and new food items
Craft beer TOCA in Mitaka's Inokashira area shared its Aug. 14 tap list. The lineup includes beers from Wuchawteng Brew, Cycad Brewing, Yorocco Beer, Bellwoods Brewery and more, plus new food items.
Hop BroCraft beer TOCA in Inokashira just dropped its August 14 tap list, and it's stacked: 15 taps total with 12 beers, 1 sake, and 2 paused lines.
MugiWhat! At TOCA? 12 beers and 1 sake sounds like the kind of menu that makes my eyes do laps.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. Wuchawteng Brew's Can I Kick It, Cycad Brewing's Suicad 2, Yorocco Beer's eatrip saison... the style range runs from lager and saison to IPA.
MugiWhoa. But Bellwoods Brewery's Brettal Head, Sieman Winery and Brewery's Hop & Stave, and stuff like Hoppy Wild Ale and Foeder Pale Ale? That sounds like a spellbook.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A hoppy wild ale mixes funky yeast character with hop aroma, and a foeder beer is aged in big wooden vats, which adds depth to the aroma.
MugiWhat is this, drinkable literature? And Farmentry's Dark Mild (Nitro)... does that mean soft fizzy dark beer?
Hop BroPretty much. Nitro means it's poured with nitrogen, so the tiny nitrogen bubbles make it feel extra creamy.
MugiI'm already sold, and then the food shows up! Chilled chicken thigh and winter melon with makrut lime leaf and green chili, lemongrass and sansho karaage... the new food lineup is unfair.
Hop BroAnd you can compare Scents Brewing's Pale Ale Chinook and Pale Ale Cascade side by side, then jump to Flora Fermentation's Roggenhund, Varietal Beer Co.'s Twine Climber, or even the sake. It's basically a tasting playground.
MugiHold on, what's the difference between Chinook and Cascade? Those sound like gym machines. Is hop comparison mode beginner-friendly?
Hop BroTotally. Chinook leans piney and grapefruit-like, while Cascade is lighter and more citrusy. TOCA built a list that's easy to enjoy from first pour to last, and now I want a glass too.
MugiThen it's settled. I'll start light with eatrip saison, slide into Dark Mild (Nitro), and finish with Can I Kick It. I want a drink right now.
