El Hori in Kameari adds three Brew Classic guest beers
El Hori, a taco-and-craft-beer pub in Kameari, Tokyo, has added three guest beers from Brew Classic in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. The lineup includes an American Belgian-style IPA, a West Coast IPA, and a hazy IPA.
Hop BroKameari’s El Joli is pretty exciting right now, with three Blue Classic beers on guest tap. It’s a full-on chance to compare a Kanazawa brewery’s range alongside tacos.
MugiWhat! So it’s like three kinds of IPA coming at you at once? That’s wild for beers from the same brewery!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong. Doris no Jaguar Wo is an American Belgo-style IPA, Kandachime is a West Coast IPA, and Scheme Scheme is a Hazy IPA.
MugiHold on, American Belgo what now? That sounds less like beer and more like a wrestling move!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it blends Belgian yeast character with bright American hop aroma. You get spicy, fruity notes, so it feels different from a standard IPA.
MugiOooh! Then how is Kandachime different? Even the name sounds sharp enough to glare at me!
Hop BroThat one’s the collab with Be Easy from Aomori. It’s Blue Classic’s first brewery collaboration, and it’s framed as a West Coast IPA with firm bitterness and solid drinkability.
Mugi“Firm bitterness” makes sense, but “clear outline” sounds like we’re critiquing a painting. So is Scheme Scheme the soft one?
Hop BroThat’s basically right. It’s presented as a brewery-style Hazy IPA, so you’d expect a softer, juicier feel. And Doris no Jaguar Wo is their only regular beer, which makes the side-by-side even more fun.
MugiAnd with 1,130 and 1,180 yen pricing, I can already picture lining up all three and declaring, “Class is in session!” Add tacos and I’m done for.
Hop BroThat’s the charm of El Joli: pairing with tacos is part of the game. You get the comfort of the flagship, the snap of the West Coast, and the softness of the Hazy in one round.
MugiThen it’s settled. We’re doing a three-beer flight, and I’m absolutely taking a victory sip after saying “American Belgo” without tripping over it!
At El Hori, the Kameari pub known for Japanese craft beer and tacos, three guest beers from Brew Classic in Kanazawa, Ishikawa were featured in a recent Instagram post. The lineup brings together different IPA expressions under one taproom-friendly roof.
The beers shown from left to right are Doris no Jaguar Wo (American Belgian-style IPA), Kandachime (West Coast IPA), and Skiemu Skiemu (Hazy IPA). According to the post, Doris no Jaguar Wo and Kandachime are priced at 1,130 yen each, while Skiemu Skiemu is priced at 1,180 yen.
The post notes that Doris no Jaguar Wo is Brew Classic's regular staple, while Skiemu Skiemu is described as a Brew Classic-style hazy IPA. Kandachime stands out as Brew Classic's first brewery collaboration, made together with Be Easy Brewing from Aomori. The caption also frames it as a bitter, satisfying beer for people who like a firm hop bite.
El Hori is located at 3-11-6 Kameari, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo. With tacos on the menu and a focus on domestic craft beer, it is the kind of place where a guest-beer post like this makes sense: a compact, beer-driven stop where style differences matter and pairing beer with food is part of the appeal.
