Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi, Tokyo, rolled out 8 new taps all at once on April 4. And leading the lineup is West Coast Brewing's "Void Angel". That's a pretty intriguing setup.
MugiWait, they change that many at once!? Just the name "Void Angel" sounds intense, like the final boss in a movie!
Hop BroAnd the beer itself is intense too. "Void Angel" is an Imperial Stout with strawberry, vanilla, and even the oddly specific Reasonably, so it combines richness with a sense of playfulness.
MugiImperial Stout? What's that! A dark beer that's rich and sweet? Maybe kind of dessert-like?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, yes. It's a style with a full body and a tendency toward higher alcohol. Hop-Scotch Tokyo is lining that up alongside IPA styles with clear hop character, and that's what makes the range of drinking experiences so interesting.
MugiWhoa! Then I definitely want to check out "Full Hop Alchemist v.29 Throwback" and "Slow Motion" too! Having two WCB beers on tap is irresistible for hop fans, right!
Hop BroExactly. "Full Hop Alchemist v.29 Throwback" is a Hazy Double IPA, where the layered aroma takes center stage, while "Slow Motion" is a CBD Hazy Session IPA, so it's also open to people who want something lighter.
MugiCBD in beer sounds futuristic all of a sudden! But session IPA means it drinks light and easy, right?
Hop BroThat's right. It keeps the alcohol and weight down so it's easier to enjoy over a longer stretch. And today it's not just IPA: there are Bellwoods sour ales and even Chuckanut's "Gold Label Pils", so it's nice to have options depending on your mood.
MugiWow, attacking with IPA, resetting with a sour, then finishing with a pilsner sounds amazing... it's packed with the dream of tasting different beers side by side.
Hop BroIf you're taking it slow around Iidabashi and Kagurazaka, tap changes like this are really fun. Today it starts with "Void Angel", and before you know it, you're saying, just one more.
