Hop BroBeerPub SCENT in Meguro has posted its April 15 tap list. With the permanent Guinness at the core and everything from Heartland to domestic breweries, it really scratches the comparison-drinking itch.
MugiWait, Guinness is permanent? And eight beers at once? Isn't that a ridiculously fancy tap list? If that much is on tap in Meguro, I'd have a hard time deciding where to start.
Hop BroWhat makes this lineup fun is that you can build a progression from Bitter to Sour. Kanpai Brewing's "Kikusaka Bitter / Ordinary Bitter," Shiga Kogen's "Draft Pale Ale / Pale Ale," and Minoh's "Osaru IPA / IPA" line up so neatly it feels like a textbook.
MugiOrdinary... Bitter? Wait, isn't bitter just something that's bitter? The name already sounds a little scary!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Ordinary Bitter does not just mean 'simply bitter'; it's a traditional British ale style that lets you enjoy the balance of grainy aroma and gentle bitterness. In a beer pub like SCENT, it's easy to pick out the differences in flavor calmly.
MugiI get it! So Repubrew's "Numazu Hazy IPA / Hazy IPA" is one of those cloudy ones, right? I want to try something fruity and juice-like!
Hop BroExactly. A Hazy IPA tends to look hazy and bring out juiciness from the hops. Compared with a classic IPA like Nomcraft's "Buffalo Bandit / IPA," the way the aroma comes through is different, and it's fun that the same IPA style can show such different expressions.
MugiWow, even IPA can be totally different! And they even have Nara Brewing's "Study in Rouge / Sour Ale" too - the idea of putting a sour finish at the end is amazing!
Hop BroRight - Sour ale can reset your palate with acidity, so it's a good choice for a final glass. And with familiar names like Shiga Kogen Beer and Minoh Beer mixed in with distinctive breweries like Repubrew, Nomcraft, and Nara Brewing, it's the kind of lineup that gets the conversation going on its own at the table.
MugiIn that case, I'll start light with Heartland, then move to the Pale Ale, and finish with the Sour Ale! A place where you can plan your drinking order makes me feel like I'm becoming a smarter person.
Hop BroThat's a good flow. BeerPub SCENT opens at 18:00 and closes at 25:00, so it's perfect for dropping in after work and spending the night grazing from the standard Guinness to domestic breweries.
MugiNow I really want to go tonight! A slow drinking night in Meguro sounds absolutely fun.
Hop BroExactly. Just looking at the taps and choosing is exciting enough, so tonight feels like a night to drink while saying things like, 'Guinness today, IPA tomorrow.'
