Hop BroToday's topic is the opening of two new taps at Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi; the March 19 16:29 “New Taps!!” post is fire!
MugiWhat! That's instantly interesting! Which breweries are those two from?
Hop BroFirst, the overseas pick is Varietal Beer Co.'s Twine Climber IPA—a hearty beer that puts hop aroma front and center.
MugiWhoa! But when you say 'puts hop aroma front and center,' does that mean it's an aroma bomb? My nose would be in for a shock!
Hop BroYou're pretty much right! It's designed so you get hop-derived citrusy and grassy notes, basically an IPA with thick layers of aroma.
MugiLayers!? You just dropped a mille-feuille kind of word on me! So you mean it smells layered on top of itself, right?
Hop BroExactly, Mugi-chan, that's a great translation. The other one is Oni-Densetsu's NEW Fuku ..., listed exactly that way in the post as a new tap opening.
MugiWhat is that! The '...' in the name makes it even more intriguing! And being able to do a Japan-vs-overseas tasting comparison is the best!
Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo is on the first floor of Inoue Building in Fujimi, Chiyoda Ward, and because its tap lineup changes quickly, there’s something new every time you go. It really is Iidabashi's hub pub.
MugiDecision made! I'll check the latest taps after work and start with a toast over an IPA. I want a beer right now!
