Meguro beer pub "BeerPub SCENT" has announced its tap lineup for April 26. In addition to Heartland and the permanent Guinness, the lineup ranges from real ales to domestic and international IPAs and even a sour, with business hours from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Hop BroBeerPub SCENT in Meguro has a pretty interesting tap list for April 26. It’s open from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., so the lineup is clearly built for taking your time drinking at night.
MugiWhoa! Open until 1:00 a.m.? That’s almost too kind to the night-owl crowd. And drinking beer in Meguro somehow feels instantly more grown-up!
Hop BroJust having the standard Heartland and the permanent Guinness already gives it a reassuring feel. What makes SCENT nice is that you also get the fun of wondering, “What should I go for today?”
MugiHuh? But what even is a real ale? It sounds kind of strong, like the final boss of the ale world!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a beer that’s poured naturally from the cask. Because it doesn’t rely on heavy carbonation, it has a softer mouthfeel, so an Ordinary Bitter like Kikuzaka Bitter really shines in a gentle way.
MugiI see! So Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale is also the kind you savor calmly. Just the name alone makes it look like it’s saying, “I’m drinking quietly today.”
Hop BroExactly, and the IPA selection is strong too. Kind of Gold is an Imperial IPA, so it’s bold; Tang is a Hazy IPA, so it’s juicy and hazy; and Hop Breeze is a West Coast IPA with crispness and sharp bitterness.
MugiHold on! Imperial IPA and Hazy IPA and all that, there are so many names my brain is foaming over here! Are they really that different?
Hop BroThey are. Imperial means higher alcohol and a fuller body; Hazy tends to push hop aroma forward in a soft, juicy way; and West Coast finishes with clean, snappy bitterness. In short, it’s a three-way battle of aroma and bitterness.
MugiWow, and then there’s even DD4D’s Sour Ale at the end! If you really taste them side by side, it’s like taking a little flavor trip in Meguro!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a lineup that ranges from light to characterful, so it’s easy to drop in before or after a meal, and tonight it really makes you want a drink at SCENT.
MugiNow I’m completely in the mood to drink...! A nightcap in Meguro might be something I want to savor here instead of bar-hopping tonight!
