Hop BroAkihabara drinkers, take note: Scissors Akihabara’s September 30 tap list has two fresh arrivals.
MugiWhat?! What are the newcomers? And I’m already determined to detour for the cat-paw parking lot!
Hop BroFirst is Nobody Brewing’s “Rough Trade” Session IPA. It’s a collaboration marking the 50th anniversary and Japan event of the legendary London record label.
MugiDoes Session IPA mean beer for listening to music all day? Like a record-label toast IPA?
Hop BroClose—the mood fits! A Session IPA is an IPA with approachable strength and bitterness, so it’s easy to keep drinking.
MugiNice! If it’s fruity enough to make your hand reach for the glass, mine is entering automatic cheers mode!
Hop BroThe other is Teenage Brewing’s “Heki” Sour IPA. Made with Craft Beer Lab, it uses Tokigawa blueberries, hojicha, ginger, and honey.
MugiWhat?! Blueberries, hojicha, and ginger? That sounds like a fridge meeting gone wild. What does a Sour IPA taste like?
Hop BroThink tart IPA layered with fruity sweetness, roasty hojicha, ginger spice, and honeyed softness—an aroma traffic jam, deliberately designed.
MugiA traffic jam that makes me thirsty! With a Rock Doppelbock and Yokohama Iekei IPA too, I want to sample them in small pours.
Hop BroExactly—the stories behind the collaborations are part of the fun. They’re open until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, so check availability and toast in Akihabara!
MugiDone! We’ll find the cat paws, order Rough Trade and Heki, and explore tonight’s perfect pint!
