Hop BroToranomon has some good news today. Craft Beer Market Toranomon just put on two fresh taps: Nara Brewing's Spare Pocket and BREW CLASSIC's Scheme.
MugiWhat! And both are IPA-style? That's basically an instant tasting flight! Even the names sound suspiciously fun.
Hop BroFirst up, Spare Pocket is Nara Brewing's 7.5% Double IPA. Citra and Simcoe lead the aroma, but it still goes down dangerously smoothly.
MugiWait, what is that! Citra and Simcoe sound like side characters from a fantasy game. Who are they!?
Hop BroThey're hop varieties. The aroma compounds in hops are what give you citrus notes and piney accents, and Double IPA usually means a bigger body and a bit more punch.
MugiNo way! Then Scheme from BREW CLASSIC is a Hazy IPA, right? It already sounds fluffy and dangerous.
Hop BroExactly. Scheme leans on big citrus aroma, then layers in that hazy-style grassy and piney character, so your nose gets the full workout.
MugiGrassy and piney!? So it's basically a glass of forest? I feel like I'd suddenly start talking like a camping expert.
Hop BroPut simply, it's fresh green notes plus a cool pine-like edge. If you want aromatic depth, Scheme sounds right on target.
MugiAnd on September 5 there's a 22-tap takeover too, right? Daisen G Beer with 22 taps is not an event, that's a festival.
Hop BroYep, and head brewer Hide will be there, plus limited food and a janken giveaway. This place works for an after-work pint and a full-on beer event.
MugiI'm sold. I want a head-to-head IPA tasting with Spare Pocket and Scheme right now, then I'm showing up on September 5 ready for that janken battle.
At Craft Beer Market Toranomon, a beer pub in Nishishimbashi, Tokyo, the latest Instagram post introduced two fresh taps: Nara Brewing's Spare Pocket and BREW CLASSIC's Scheme. The pair gives drinkers a clear choice between a hop-forward double IPA and a hazy IPA built around citrus, grassiness, and pine.
- Spare Pocket is described as a double IPA with citrus and Simcoe-driven aroma, at 7.5% ABV but still easy to keep drinking.
- Scheme leans into bright citrus, with the soft, grassy, piney character that haze fans expect.
The post also announced a September 5 tap takeover for Daisen G Beer, with head brewer Hidesan visiting the shop. A rock-paper-scissors giveaway for limited food and goods is also planned.
As a beer pub, the Toranomon location runs weekday lunch and dinner service, and switches to event hours on Saturdays. It is the kind of place that works both for a casual after-work pint and for a brewer-led event night.
