Hop BroAt Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi, seven new taps opened all at once. From Fremont Brewing to Echoes Brewing, this is a pretty aggressive lineup for today.
MugiWow! An update of seven beers at once is amazing! And with a Triple IPA and Belgian styles too, just the names are enough to make me a little tipsy!
Hop BroThe star of the lineup has to be Fremont Brewing's Extra Lush. Since it's a Triple IPA, you can expect it to pack in hop aroma, bitterness, and drinkability all at once.
MugiTriple IPA? What is that! Is it IPA times three? If I drank something like that, even my cheeks would puff up with hops!
Hop BroBasically, it's like an extra-powerful, hop-heavy IPA. The alcohol presence and body also tend to be fuller, so it's the kind of beer you sip slowly.
MugiI see! So a Hazy Pale Ale like West Coast Brewing's Windows to VERTERE 2025 has a different kind of deliciousness, right?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy styles are appealing for their juicy aroma. They also have a softness from the haze, so they often go down more easily than a punchier IPA.
MugiThen Echoes Brewing's Dubbel Entendre is a Belgian dubbel, which sounds suddenly elegant! But what does a dubbel taste like?
Hop BroIt tends to bring out malt sweetness and caramel notes, so you can enjoy its rich, layered flavor. And with an Oktoberfest-style beer like Friedrich Ⅲ and even a saison like Blood ofcthe Ancients, today becomes a real flavor journey.
MugiWow, I can't choose! Tonight at Hop-Scotch Tokyo is definitely turning into a night for tasting side by side.
Hop BroExactly. In Iidabashi, just dropping by and going through all seven in order might be the right move.
MugiYeah, yeah, I'm curious about curry day too, but first, beer! I want to go order my first glass right now!
