Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo in Fujimi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo updated its taps on May 29. And since it opens at 4 p.m. on Thursdays, the lineup is stacked from the start.
MugiWait, eight unique beers all lined up at once? If I saw that, I'd probably just stand there at the entrance for a while...
Hop BroThe star is definitely Parabolita Mocha Latte. It's Firestone Walker Brewing's bourbon barrel-aged milk stout, with layers of vanilla, cocoa nibs, and coffee all coming together in one beer.
MugiWhoa, what do you mean bourbon barrel-aged? The moment beer goes into a barrel, it suddenly feels like it's taking a grown-up step up the ladder!
Hop BroBasically, the time it spends in the barrel adds more aroma and body. Think of it as bringing in traces of whiskey and woody notes, which deepen the sweet, mocha latte-like character.
MugiGot it! But I’m also curious about the hop side, and Oni-Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale ADHA-1631 ver. sounds interesting too! Just the name sounds strong!
Hop BroThat’s where hop lovers come in. If you want to enjoy the shape of bitterness and aroma, Trademark Brewing's Space Beach and Echoes Brewing's The Wave are great picks, and if you like hazies, Totopia Brewery's Rippleohobia and Biasphobia are a strong flow too.
MugiWait, they even have a Hazy Triple IPA? That's basically diving into a sea of haze!
Hop BroAnd if you want to switch gears with acidity, there's AJB Brewing's Foeder Sour 2024, or Smooth Ops for a Piña colada-style sour when you're in the mood for something tropical. From rich to refreshing, the range is huge.
MugiWith this much available in Iidabashi and Kagurazaka, the fun of tasting side by side never stops. Should I start with a stout or go in through the hops? I feel like I need to ask today's version of myself!
Hop BroExactly. On days like this, the right move is to choose based on how you feel that day. Start deep with Parabolita Mocha Latte, or go crisp with an IPA, and either way you'll be tempted from the very first beer.
