BeerPub SCENT in Meguro has started its 11th year of business. On the taps for May 17, alongside Heartland and Guinness, Fuller’s London Pride, two Minoh beers, Trap Door Eden, Varietal Sup cuz, and Hinomoto Beer Shiro are on offer.
Hop BroBeerPub SCENT in Meguro is kicking off its 11th year of business, and the 5/17 taps are seriously hot. Heartland and Guinness as permanent fixtures, plus Fuller’s London Pride, already gives it a classy feel.
MugiWait! Just the two permanent beers already sound reassuring, and then craft stuff comes pouring in on top of that!? And this is happening in Meguro? I want to go so bad!
Hop BroExactly, and SCENT has real ale as its calling card. Instead of pushing it out with gas pressure, you get this soft release of temperature and aroma, which really brings out the British-pub vibe.
MugiWhat!? Not relying on gas pressure makes it sound like the beer just walks over on its own!? 'Softly released' sounds kind of magical!
Hop BroNot walking, not walking. Basically, it's a pouring style that lets you enjoy the aroma. The foam isn't forced too much either, so the mouthfeel is gentle, and your nose gets happy before you even take a sip.
MugiWhoa, the eight-beer lineup is amazing too. A mix of British styles and IPAs feels like a day for wanting to relax and a day for wanting adventure at the same time!
Hop BroExactly. Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale and W-IPA, Trap Door Eden’s West Coast IPA, Varietal Sup cuz’s Hazy IPA, and Hinomoto Beer Shiro’s Milk Ale give it a wide range of flavors. They’d go well with fish and chips or cottage pie too.
MugiWait, wait, what's the difference between W-IPA and Hazy IPA!? They both sound intense, and I'm basically getting tipsy just from the names!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, West Coast IPA is all about crispness and bitterness, while Hazy IPA is about juiciness. The former is snappy; the latter is mellow and juicy. What's fun about SCENT is that you can line those contrasts up on the same day.
MugiWow, that lineup has a real 11th-year celebration feel. Whether it's just one drink at the standing counter or a meal with pub food upstairs, it sounds great!
Hop BroExactly. It makes you want to come to Meguro and soak up some British pub vibes today. Once you've compared real ale all the way through IPA, I bet both of us will be calling for refills.
