Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updates June 7 tap list with WCB x Onidensetsu HOP LEGENDS
The Akihabara beer pub updated its June 7 tap list with `HOP LEGENDS`, a hazy IPA collaboration between West Coast Brewing and Onidensetsu Beer. The lineup also features beers from Repubrew, Passific Brewing, Nara Brewing, and more.
Hop BroAkihabara is hot today, because Scissors' fresh taps just brought in WCB x Oni Densetsu's "HOP LEGENDS."
MugiWhat! HOP LEGENDS arrival sounds like a final boss already. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a collab between West Coast Brewing and Oni Densetsu Beer, built as a hazy IPA release with tropical, orange, and grassy aromas.
MugiWait, grassy aroma means what, are we joining a lawn-tasting club now?!
Hop BroNot quite. Fresh hop greenness means a bright herbal, meadow-like note, not actually chewing on grass.
MugiNo way! And if it's sneaky 8.0%, that's the kind that walks in soft and flips your knees later!
Hop BroExactly. Shibata from Oni Densetsu selected the hops, so the aroma blueprint is tight and the alcohol doesn't stick out.
MugiThe headliner is stacked! But this sounded like tap-list paradise, so what else is pouring?
Hop BroRepubrew's AGE AGE SAME AGE, Nara Brewing's Nothing Special and Typhina, plus Zumo's Weizen, so the lineup is loaded.
MugiWhoa, Shine Muscat Ale and Bud Bunny too? That's illegal. One pint won't cut it.
Hop BroThat's why I already want to slide into Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara before 10 p.m. and have a pint on site before taking some home.
MugiThen let's do it! I want to toast with HOP LEGENDS first and work through the rest of the taps after that!
