Hop BroToday's hot item is Hop-Scotch Tokyo's 8 new taps in Iidabashi. They rolled out New Taps!! on March 27, packing everything in from hazy to sour.
MugiWait, from hazy to sour!? One bar with that much range is too much for my brain to process!
Hop BroAnd the core of it is IPA styles, with names like Break Edge Beer Works / Right, Totopia Brewery / Sirenphobia, and Faction Brewing / Command 450, all showing off distinct hop character.
MugiDistinct hop character? That sounds like some kind of grown-up spell, but all I can see is foam.
Hop BroSimply put, it refers to the beer's aroma and bitterness profile. A Hazy IPA like Right has haze and juiciness, and Sirenphobia is a Hazy Double IPA, so it has even more depth.
MugiOhh! Then the one called Auroraphobia is probably the most interesting one in the article.
Hop BroThat's one of the standout beers, a DH Sour IPA with a seriously rich layered fruit character from black currant, mango, raspberry, sweet cherry, and vanilla. The sweet-tart and tropical notes stack together, making it pretty lively.
MugiWhat, that's like turning a fruit parfait into beer! And with a Sour IPA, you still get hops even though it's sour?
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes it fun. On top of that, you've got the clean Pilsner of Chucknut Brewery / Gold Label Pils, the dark finish of Georgetown Brewing / Black Gates, and the powerful Imperial IPA of Bale Breaker Brewing / Bottomcutter, so you can pick whatever fits your mood.
MugiIf I saw that lineup after work, tasting them side by side would be unavoidable! Tonight, let's stop by Hop-Scotch Tokyo, and I'll start with the Pilsner while hop-brother starts with the hazy stuff!
