The beer pub Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi, Tokyo, has unveiled a new tap list. Featuring seven beers including Fremont Brewing's Triple IPA, along with selections from West Coast Brewing and Holy Mountain Brewing, the lineup offers a wide range of styles, from IPA to Belgian and saison rather than sour beer.
Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo, tucked between Iidabashi and Kagurazaka, is at it again with seven new taps.
MugiWait, they can change that much at a beer pub all at once? Just hearing the tap list has been refreshed makes me excited!
Hop BroThe star this time is definitely Fremont's Extra Lush. Since it's a Triple IPA, you're probably going to get a huge burst of hop presence.
MugiTriple IPA? What even is that! Is hop presence kind of like having shoulder tension?
Hop BroPretty close, actually. It means the aroma, bitterness, and body are all turned up. And because it has real heft and drinkability, even a small pour feels satisfying.
MugiWow, IPA fans are going to love this. With EZ IPA and Windows to VERTERE 2025 too, it feels like a hop festival!
Hop BroBut the great thing is, it doesn't end there. There's Echoes Brewing's Belgian dubbel, Dubbel Entendre, so you can also enjoy yeast-driven complexity.
MugiBelgian suddenly sounds so grown-up! Yeast-driven complexity sounds complicated, but also delicious!
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, you get malt depth, so the toasted and caramel notes spread gradually. Beers like the Oktoberfest-style `Friedrich Ⅲ` are great because you can pick based on your mood.
MugiIf there’s even Oni Densetsu's pale ale on top of that, today is definitely a day for agonizing over what to order! But in the end, I still want to raise a glass together!
