Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo in Fujimi, Chiyoda City, has put out its tap list for the April 11 "TAKOYAKI Party!!". Saturday opens at 3 p.m., and with "takopa" service until 8 p.m., the weekend mood is already complete.
MugiWait, so this is a day to seriously enjoy takoyaki and beer!? That already feels like a guaranteed win today!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. Fremont Brewing's `Lush IPA`, Totopia Brewery's `Duskphobia`, and West Coast Brewing's `Void Angel` are all there, so it ranges from light and breezy to rich and heavy.
MugiHold on, hazy and IPA and all that, just the names are making my brain float! What's different about each one?
Hop BroTo put it simply, IPA puts hop bitterness and aroma front and center, while hazy beers are appealing because of their juicy, soft mouthfeel. So a Hazy Pale Ale like `Duskphobia` is easy to drink because the bitterness doesn't come across too sharply.
MugiI see! So even as a takoyaki beginner, hazy styles would be easy to get into! And the name is cute too!
Hop BroThere's lager today too. Chucknut Brewery's `Mexican Dark Lager` is a Dark Lager, so it's crisp but has a roasted character, which pairs well with the saucy flavor of takoyaki.
MugiWhat, something that looks dark but sounds light isn't cheating!? I get wary when something looks heavy, but I love beers like that!
Hop BroIf you want to go bold, West Coast Brewing's `Void Angel` is the one. It's an Imperial Stout with strawberry and vanilla, a hefty ABV 11.5% beer. It's basically a monster wearing the face of dessert.
MugiDon't call it a monster! But a dessert-like stout is exactly the kind of thing I'd want after takoyaki!
Hop BroIf you want to finish on a bright note, Bellwoods Brewery's `Jelly King Passionfruit, Orange, Guava` is another must. The fruity character in this sour ale refreshes your palate all at once, so the next sip keeps going down easily.
MugiI get it now completely, this is the right answer for the weekend! Snacking on takoyaki while drinking something light and something rich, then finishing with a sour beer, makes me want to go right now!
