Latest tap news from Hop-Scotch Tokyo. The lineup features seven beers spanning styles from Fremont Brewing's Triple IPA "Extra Lush" to IPA, hazy pale ale, Belgian dubbel, and saison, offering a wide range of flavors in the Iidabashi and Kagurazaka area.
Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo just updated with seven beers lined up. Led by Fremont Brewing's "Extra Lush," the selection runs from IPA to saison, making it a fun tasting lineup in Iidabashi and Kagurazaka.
MugiWhoa, Extra Lush already sounds intense! A Triple IPA is the kind of beer that basically says, "Be prepared, you're in for it," right?
Hop BroThat's a pretty accurate read. At ABV 9.8% with IBU 80, both the hop presence and the alcohol are substantial. A Triple IPA is basically an IPA taken further, like a "mountain of hops."
MugiWhat is that, a mountain sounds tasty but scary! And names like "Dubbel Entendre" and "Windows to VERTERE 2025" are already more than my brain can keep up with!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. The depth of fermentation-driven styles is another highlight this time: Echoes Brewing's dubbel offers sweet malt character and esters, while West Coast Brewing's hazy pale ale leans juicy and has a soft drinkability.
MugiI see! So there's also the malt richness of a märzen like "Friedrich Ⅲ," and you can try such a completely different mix at the same place, right?
Hop BroExactly. And Holy Mountain Brewing's "Blood ofcthe Ancients" is an oak-fermented saison with yarrow grass and nectarine, so it has a bit of wild character and makes you want to chase the changing aromas.
MugiWait, herbs and fruit are both in there!? I don't even know if that's beer or a forest anymore, but the range for tasting side by side is so wide that I want to try everything!
Hop BroAnd since it's a relaxed place on the first floor of the Inoue Building, it's also great that you can just drop in after work. A drink in Iidabashi, plus keg changes and canned and bottled info you can follow too, makes it a place worth returning to.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just reading this makes my throat want a drink! I want to start with Extra Lush, then move on to the hazy and the saison and just can't stop wanting to drink!
