Hop BroToday's Hop-Scotch Tokyo tap update is hot. On April 24, Totopia Brewery's "Kodamaphobia" was tapped, leading with a Hazy Double IPA, and the whole lineup has eight beers on tap, so it's a lively one.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Kodamaphobia already makes me curious! But what exactly makes a Hazy Double IPA "hazy" and "double"?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's an IPA with a cloudy appearance and a style that really amps up the hop aroma. The alcohol presence and body are also bigger, so Kodamaphobia is the kind of main beer that makes you feel like, "Yep, this is the one."
MugiWhat! And now this Foeder Saison w/ Apricot sounds like a spell... foeder means a wooden barrel, right?
Hop BroThat's right. It's a saison aged in a wooden foeder, and adding apricot gives it more depth in the aroma. Zakkoku-Koubou's "Golden Beryl" is the kind of beer that's less flashy and more quietly delicious, and the more you drink it, the more interesting it gets.
MugiOhhh! And there's a pilsner too. It's so helpful that it's not just hazy beers and there's something easy to drink as well!
Hop BroThat's the great thing about this lineup: beers like Fremont Brewing's "Golden Pilsner" and "Lush," and Revision Brewing's "What What What" mean there's a wide range of styles on offer. In the sour category, there's even Bellwoods Brewery's "Jelly King Passionfruit, Orange, Guava," so it's easy to build a drinking flow.
MugiWait, so that means eight beers to compare!? Today we can totally go with a plan like "light first, then hazy, and finish with sour"!
Hop BroExactly. And because Hop-Scotch Tokyo is a beer pub in Fujimi, Chiyoda Ward, it's easy to stop by, and the 4:00 p.m. opening time is appreciated too. It's fun to swing by after work and check out today's tap lineup.
MugiThen there's no choice but to go drink the beers you want to try early. If you start with Kodamaphobia and finish with Jelly King, it sounds like a completely happy day!

Hop-Scotch Tokyo is a beer pub located on the first floor of Inoue Building at 2-2-11 Fujimi, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. Its central location makes it easy to stop by, and it is a place where beer lovers can easily come for tastings and comparisons. Updates like this one, which line up multiple styles at once rather than focusing on a single keg, give drinkers the fun of choosing while following the flow of the lineup.
This time in particular, the taps include not only tropical-leaning hazy beers but also a pilsner, a sour, and a foeder-aged saison, making it easy to build a drinking sequence from the first glass to the last. Because the tap rotation moves quickly at this spot, it seems best to check early if there is a beer you are interested in.
