Hop-Scotch Tokyo, a beer pub in the Kagurazaka and Iidabashi area, has announced new taps. Led by Fremont Brewing's "Extra Lush," the lineup includes seven beers spanning IPA, hazy, Belgian, and saison styles, making it a selection that lets you compare a wide range of styles.
Hop BroToday, the new taps at Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Kagurazaka and Iidabashi are hot. They're coming in strong with seven kegs, led by Fremont Brewing's "Extra Lush."
MugiWait, seven kegs!? So we can compare them all at once? I'm pretty sure I'd lose my memory halfway through!
Hop BroAnd the point is that it's not just any seven kegs. They've lined up everything from IPA to saison. Van Henion Brewing's "EZ IPA," West Coast Brewing's "Windows to VERTERE 2025," and Echoes Brewing's "Dubbel Entendre" are all in there.
MugiWhat!? What's a saison? All these names sound way too intense. It's like the final boss of the beer world!
Hop BroSaison was originally a style drank by farmers in Belgium, and its appeal is the fragrant, dry finish. When you get something like Holy Mountain Brewing's "Blood ofcthe Ancients" with oak-fermentation-like nuances, it gains even more depth.
MugiOhhh! So "Dubbel Entendre" is a Belgian dubbel, meaning it has sweetness and richness? The name and the flavor are both a little stylish and kind of unfair!
Hop BroExactly. And the star of the show, "Extra Lush," is a Triple IPA at 9.8% ABV with IBU 80, so it's pretty firmly bitter. With Fremont Brewing's signature hop depth, it should have serious heft.
Mugi9.8%? That's not beer anymore, that's basically liquid determination! But there are also some gentler-sounding ones, like "Kin-Oni Pale Ale Galaxy ver."
Hop BroExactly. There are hazies and pale ales too, so the lineup has range, not just heaviness. It's smart that you can balance things out with Oni-Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale Galaxy ver." and Echoes Brewing's "Friedrich Ⅲ."
MugiAnd it's in a super easy-to-stop-by location in Kagurazaka and Iidabashi, which is perfect! Dropping in after work to follow the rotating taps is absolutely a rabbit hole!
Hop BroExactly. As a place to hunt for your next pint, it's fun whether you're aiming for one beer you like or comparing them one by one. Today, this lineup definitely makes you want to go drink and compare.
MugiYeah, I can't hold back anymore! The temptation of seven taps is too much. I want to try them right now, and I want to toast with you too!
