Hop BroToday, the hot thing is Hop-Scotch Tokyo's tap update at the beer pub in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. On April 28 it opens at 4 p.m., and eight beers will be on tap at once.
MugiWhoa, opening at 4 p.m. is early, and that's great! It's the kind of thing that makes you want to head straight for a drink, not just stop by on the way home from work.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid. It stretches from sours to triple IPA, with eight beers that each have a totally different personality from start to finish.
MugiWait, Helles and hazy and all that, it sounds like a personality test just from the names! How am I supposed to choose?
Hop BroIf you want to start light, go with 3Sons Brewing's piña colada-style sour. Smooth Ops Piña colada has pineapple and coconut, with a sweet-tart, summer-early feel.
MugiWhat!? Pineapple and coconut? That's basically a tropical vacation in beer form. Just holding the glass feels like the start of a holiday!
Hop BroBy contrast, Bierstadt Lagerhaus's Helles is a German-style lager for enjoying clean malt flavor. If you slip it in after a twistier beer, it resets your palate.
MugiReset your palate? So it's like a palate reboot? That kind of useful position is on the tap list too.
Hop BroExactly. If you slot in a hazy IPA like West Coast Brewing's Summer Breeze, the aroma opens up softly, and it naturally leads into Faction Brewing's IPA or Totopia Brewery's Hazy Double IPA.
MugiBut Totopia's Kodamaphobia is 8.5% ABV, which suddenly feels like a meeting the second you hear it! It's not the one you sip lightly, right?
Hop BroIf you go all the way to Revision Brewing's 11.2% triple IPA at the end, it feels like the satisfaction of checking the answer key. It's easy to get to from Iidabashi and Kagurazaka, and since April 29 and May 3 through May 5 are holidays, April 28 is the main date if you're going on purpose.
MugiIt's decided, April 28 is the main date! I go in planning for one light drink and end up talking life advice in front of eight beers.
Hop BroExactly. It's the perfect lineup for a night of tasting side by side. So, do you start with the sour, or go big right away with the triple IPA? That's part of the fun.
