Canal brewing serves Shanti Curry on May 13; opens NOMCRAFT x Canal anniversary beer on nitro
On May 13, Canal brewing announced its monthly Shanti Curry service. At the same time, the shop is pouring the collaboration anniversary beer "Momonga Bongos!" with NOMCRAFT Brewing in a nitro version, and multiple beers including IPAs and lagers are on tap.
Hop BroToday, Canal brewing in Oimachi, Tokyo posted its May 13 service info, with the shop opening at 5 p.m. and Shanti Curry starting at 6 p.m.
MugiWhat, if I go for beer I can also eat curry!? That's way too good!
Hop BroAnd the main attraction is the anniversary beer they made with NOMCRAFT Brewing, Momonga Bongos!, a Hazy Pale Ale served on nitro.
MugiWhat is that, does nitro ver. mean the foam gets all fluffy? Even the name sounds super airy!
Hop BroExactly. Nitrogen makes for a soft mouthfeel and brings out the Hazy's rich, full-bodied drinkability. It pairs with curry and links the richness together.
MugiWow, the tap list has so much information my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThe lineup is really broad: Canal's C #3 (IPA), NOMCRAFT's Octopus king, Dinosaur Zoo, Tengu groove, Nomcraft Lager, and even open air's mikan gose.
MugiWhoa, just hearing barrel-aged depth makes me feel drunk! And there’s even Beer Fuel and Extra Quadrupel!?
Hop BroExactly. They also have Beer Fuel from NOMCRAFT × SOUTH HORIZON × NAMACHAん, and some beers are running low, so checking early is the right move.
MugiThen I'm going to have a drink in Oimachi before I eat curry! Actually, I guess I have to do both!
From the Tokyo Oimachi brewery Canal brewing came the service announcement for May 13. Shanti Curry will provide curry in the shop, with the venue opening at 5:00 p.m. and curry starting at 6:00 p.m. In addition to dine-in, takeout will also be available.
One of the highlights on the tap list is "Momonga Bongos! -Nitro ver-", the anniversary collaboration beer from NOMCRAFT Brewing and Canal brewing. The Hazy Pale Ale is being served on nitro, and the post says it has been well received since immediately after it was tapped yesterday. It is a setup where you can enjoy a rich collaboration brew together with curry.
The lineup for the day ranges widely from IPA to Helles Lager, fruited gose, and barrel-aged strong ale. In addition to Canal brewing's house-brewed "C #3 (IPA)", the taps include NOMCRAFT Brewing's "Octopus king (Dip Hop IPA)", "Dinosaur Zoo (Double IPA)", "Tengu groove (American Pale Ale)", and "Nomcraft Lager (Helles Lager)". Also listed are open air's "mikan gose (fruited gose)", NOMCRAFT Brewing × SOUTH HORIZON BREWING × NAMACHAん Brewing's "Beer Fuel (Peated English brown)", and Yamabushi × Mugizakkoku Kobo's "Extra Quadrupel (wood-barrel-aged Yamabushi) (Barrel Aged Strong Ale)".
Canal brewing is a standing-room-focused brewery within walking distance of Oimachi Station, and its appeal is a casual atmosphere centered on craft beer. It is easy to drop by even with a small group, and on days when the beer turns over quickly, being able to enjoy the tap changes themselves is another feature. This post also mentions some beers running low, so it would be wise to check the beers you are interested in early.
