BeerPub SCENT in Meguro: Shiga Kogen Beer and DDC! Appear in the 4/9 Lineup
BeerPub SCENT, the beer pub in Meguro, announced its tap lineup for April 9. In addition to staples like Heartland and Guinness, the selection includes Shiga Kogen Beer, a collaboration with Matsumoto Brewery, and even sour styles from DDC!, offering a wide range of styles to enjoy.
Hop BroToday's highlight is Meguro's BeerPub SCENT 4/9 lineup. It's open from 18:00 to 25:00, so it's great for dropping in after work and comparing beers.
MugiWhoa, it's open that late? Just being able to stop by after work already gives me an excuse for another pint!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong too. Besides the staples Guinness and Heartland, there's British-style Fuller's London Pride, and even Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, so it's a setup that lets you start with the classics.
MugiWhat, isn't that way too much firepower from the start? Having British-style and domestic craft on the same shelf is basically a little beer festival.
Hop BroAnd what makes it even better is that Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale is in there too. It's a collaboration between Kanpai Brewing and Matsumoto Brewery, and while it has malty richness, the alcohol feel is pretty gentle. It's the kind of beer you sip slowly.
MugiDark Mild Ale sounds hard just from the name! What does malty richness even taste like?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a beer where the sweetness and toastiness of the malt come forward. Instead of flashy hops, it's the kind that's quietly delicious, so the more you drink it, the more its goodness comes through.
MugiI see, so it sounds easy for me to get into! And if there's even Snow Monkey IPA / Hazy IPA, I'm interested in the aroma-forward ones too, and it makes me want to get adventurous right away!
Hop BroExactly. Shiga Kogen Beer's IPA has that well-defined hop character, and you can go even more distinctive with DDC!'s Moralite / IPA. Then when Solstice d'Été Cerises adds cherries to the sour wheat ale, it suddenly brightens up your palate.
MugiWhoa, an IPA followed by a cherry sour! It's such a flavor roller coaster that just thinking about the order is fun!
Hop BroThat's why this SCENT lineup feels so good: start calmly with Guinness or London Pride, get energized with Shiga Kogen's IPA, and finish with a sour. Because the staples and the distinctive beers coexist, it should be enjoyable with anyone you go with.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to go! On a night when you can compare beers in Meguro, I bet both me and Hop-bro won't be going home anytime soon.
