Hop BroAt Beer Pub Camden in Ikebukuro East Exit, two new casks have been tapped. VonEbert's "Volatile Substance" and Totopia's "Clawphobia" are in, making for a lineup that's already pretty exciting even from lunchtime.
MugiWhat, they open from noon!? That alone is a win. And two casks right away feels like a reward.
Hop BroExactly. On weekends they open at 12:00, so it's really a great spot for daytime drinking. That kind of convenience in Ikebukuro East Exit is hard to beat.
MugiSo what kind of beer is Volatile Substance? The name already sounds strong, but what exactly is a Northwest IPA?
Hop BroA Northwest IPA is a bitterness-forward IPA with resinous pine and citrus notes that feel characteristic of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. This one is ABV 6.9%, with berry-like aromas and the steady reliability you'd expect from a flagship beer.
MugiOh, it even has berry-like aromas!? Then it isn't just bitter, it sounds like it would actually be fun to drink for the aroma too.
Hop BroThe other one, Totopia's "Clawphobia", is a 2x Mash DDH Imperial Hazy IPA at ABV 9.0%. The silky mouthfeel, peach-like sweetness, and crisp finish are what make it stand out.
MugiWhat is that, rich but easy to drink? Isn't that cheating!? When I hear 9.0% I brace myself, but if it finishes crisp, that's a dangerous one.
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the taps also include BrewDog's PUNK IPA, North Park's Digital Jedi, and Breakside's WANDERLUST IPA, so it's a setup that's fun to compare side by side. There's even a blonde ale, so the appeal is that you can choose based on your mood.
MugiWow, a beer pub where you can enjoy the food too is the best! I can already see the future where we start drinking in Ikebukuro and before we know it we're chasing the tap list.
Hop BroExactly. Beer Pub Camden is one place I want to remember as a spot to keep up with tap changes. Today, do we start with Volatile Substance or go rich with Clawphobia? Just debating it already makes me want to drink.
MugiThen the conclusion is obvious: it's a daytime toast kind of day. When the draft lineup updates in Ikebukuro East Exit, our feet naturally head that way too!
