A new tap list has been announced at Hop-Scotch Tokyo, the beer pub in the Iidabashi-Kagurazaka area. Led by Fremont Brewing's 'Extra Lush,' the lineup includes seven beers ranging from IPA to saison and Oktoberfest-style brews, offering a wide variety of flavors.
Hop BroAt Hop-Scotch Tokyo in the Iidabashi-Kagurazaka area, another great keg has gone on tap. This time, Extra Lush is the star, and Fremont Brewing is coming in strong with its triple IPA.
MugiWhoa! A triple IPA sounds intense just from the name! And at ABV 9.8%, it sounds like you'd become the hop king after just one sip!
Hop BroExactly. And with IBU 80, the bitterness really stands out too. It might look scary just from the numbers, but basically it means the hop presence is strong.
MugiWhat's IBU supposed to mean? Is it like a bitterness coefficient? I still don't have a bitterness map in my head!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a guide to bitterness. This tap list has seven beers in total, ranging from IPA to saison, so it's a perfect chance to build that map.
MugiOhhh! There's Van Henion Brewing's EZ IPA and West Coast Brewing's Windows to VERTERE 2025 too? The hazy temptation is way too strong!
Hop BroGood catch. Hazy pale ales are appealing for their cloudiness and aroma, and their bitterness tends to feel less sharp. What's more, it also has distinctive styles like Belgian dubbel and marzen, which makes the lineup interesting.
MugiWhat, Belgian dubbel and even Imperial Oktoberfest styles? If I compare them all, my head will turn into a school festival. This is a huge style traffic jam!
Hop BroAnd there's Oni-Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale Galaxy ver., plus Holy Mountain Brewing's barrel-fermented saison waiting in the wings. I love that it even includes the playful side of saison that can bring out herbal and fruity notes.
MugiThat sounds amazing! I want to start with Extra Lush and ride the wave of hops, then finish off softly with a saison. I can already tell there's no way one glass will be enough today!
Hop BroThat's exactly the best way to enjoy it. Let's make today a perfect day for tasting side by side at Hop-Scotch Tokyo.
