Hop-Scotch Tokyo Announces Eight Craft Beers for Its May 25 Service
Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Fujimi, Chiyoda Ward, announced that it will open at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, May 25. The post introduced a broad eight-tap lineup, ranging from Echoes Brewing's Double IPA to 3Sons Brewing's sour with pineapple and coconut.
Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi and Kagurazaka said it would open at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, May 25. And that day's eight-tap lineup is pretty aggressive.
MugiWhat, it opens at 4:00 p.m. and you can already drink eight kinds?! That sounds like party mode from the evening!
Hop BroThe headliner is Echoes Brewing's The Wave, a Double IPA with ABV 8.5% and IBU 80. It's the kind of beer that lets you really enjoy the bitterness and aroma of hops.
MugiIBU 80, what is that?! Is it one of those numbers that makes your face kind of tighten up?
Hop BroBasically, it's a rough guide to bitterness. 80 is definitely bitter, but a Double IPA also brings a strong burst of citrus and pine-like hop character.
MugiOhh, so a Hazy Pale Ale like Totopia Brewery's Rippleohobia would be easier to drink and feel a bit softer!
Hop BroExactly. And Brasserie Knot's Wind is an IPA, while AJB Brewing's Foeder Sour 2024 is a barrel-aged sour with a different kind of tartness. The nice thing is being able to choose based on your mood.
MugiFoeder just came out of nowhere! Is that some kind of giant barrel?
Hop BroThat's right, it's like a huge wooden tank. The rounded acidity and depth that come from it are the appeal. And they even have something like Totopia's Biasphobia, a Hazy Triple IPA, so the rich-beer crowd will be satisfied too.
MugiWhoa, there's even a Dark Lager! Grains of Wrath's Obsidiana sounds interesting, and they even added a gin sonic suggestion at the end. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroOni-Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale and 3Sons Brewing's Piña colada-style sour are on the list too, so it's really the kind of place where you end up wondering what to choose one by one. If you slip gin in between beers, you'll fall into the rabbit hole of tasting comparisons.
MugiI've decided, I want to do a tasting crawl in Iidabashi today! Hop-bro, which one should we start with?
Hop BroFirst, let's toast with The Wave, and then keep going with a hazy beer or a sour. All right, let's head out on a tap-list journey together today.
