BeerPub SCENT in Meguro: British Classics and Domestic IPA in the April 1 Lineup
BeerPub SCENT, a beer pub in Meguro, has unveiled its tap lineup for April 1. Alongside Heartland, Guinness, and Fuller's London Pride, the list features domestic and imported IPAs as well as beers labeled as real ale, with opening at 18:00 and closing at 1:00 the next day.
Hop BroBeerPub SCENT in Meguro's April 1 tap reveal is pretty interesting. It's a lineup where the comfort of the classics and the playfulness of hop-forward beers coexist beautifully.
MugiWhat! You can really pull off that mix of classics and distinctive picks? It's already exciting just seeing the menu, even before actually drinking in Meguro!
Hop BroThe core is Heartland and Guinness, right? Then Fuller's London Pride comes in and really creates that British pub atmosphere, which feels very SCENT.
MugiWhat does that even mean! It says real ale for London Pride, but what is 'real' about it? Is the enthusiasm real?
Hop BroGood question. The real ale label means it is served in the British style, where it is naturally conditioned in the cask rather than forcefully pushed with carbonation. The mouthfeel is softer, and the aroma tends to come across more calmly.
MugiOhhh! So Matsumoto Brewery x Kanpai Brewing's Gekizaka is served that way too? The name alone already sounds pretty aggressive!
Hop BroExactly. The funny part is that it's a Golden Mild Ale with the real ale label attached. Mild ale is all about the flavor of the malt, so instead of flash, it wins with a kind of deeply satisfying richness.
MugiWait, and on top of that there is Minoh W-IPA, Burnt Mill's Crimson Highway, and DD4D's Buddha's Hands? It feels like traveling the world in Meguro!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup includes both domestic IPAs and overseas IPAs, with W-IPA bringing the heft of a double IPA, Crimson Highway offering the malt character of a Red IPA, and Buddha's Hands letting you enjoy the haze and juiciness of a Hazy IPA.
MugiAnd they even have Sankt Gallen's Sakura? That's so spring-like. If you compare them, your brain will probably turn into a flower-viewing party!
Hop BroAnd BeerPub SCENT is open from 18:00 to 25:00. Stop by after work, start with Guinness, move on to London Pride, and finish with an IPA. That's a really good flow.
MugiWow, that's perfect for a drink after work! Today feels like the day to go all in in Meguro, from the classics all the way to full hop overload, Hop bro!
