Hop BroAt Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi, Nomcraft Brewing's "Octopus King" has just gone on tap. It's a pretty great way to kick off the weekend, isn't it?
MugiWhoa! Just the name Octopus King sounds powerful! What kind of beer is the King of Octopuses, anyway?
Hop BroIt's a fresh keg of IPA. Hop-Scotch Tokyo rotates its taps, so what's fun is that you get to drink the bar's "now."
MugiReally! Does a tap change matter that much? Isn't beer always the same every time?
Hop BroThat's the point: when the keg changes, the aroma and the mouthfeel change too. Something like this freshly tapped beer is the perfect time to enjoy its freshness.
MugiOhhh! When I hear fresh IPA, it sounds like one sip would already wake me up! Is the bitterness or aroma easy to notice?
Hop BroExactly. IPA tends to show off the hops' character, so it's best to start by enjoying the aroma and bitterness. I also want to see how it balances in Nomcraft Brewing's style.
MugiAnd they even announced they open at 3:00 p.m. on May 9! Being able to drink from the early hours of the weekend is so nice.
Hop BroIt's easy to stop by from Iidabashi or Kagurazaka, so it's also a great place for a post-work drink. Fujimi, Inoue Building 1F is a good one to remember.
MugiThen it's settled, we should go for one first drink! Let's welcome the King of Octopuses like royalty too!
Hop BroExactly. You don't want to miss a drink at the moment a keg gets changed. So tonight, let's head to Hop-Scotch Tokyo and drink Octopus King.
