Hop BroHop-Scotch Tokyo in Iidabashi is holding Curry Wednesday on March 18, and they went with eight taps to pair with the lunch chicken coriander masala!
MugiWhoa! Eight kinds of beer on curry day means it's basically heaven from lunchtime!
Hop BroAnd the lineup really spans the range, from lager and a group of IPAs to Milk Stout and Foeder Saison, with ABV from 4.5% to 8.0%.
MugiWhat is that! "Foeder Saison" from Zakkoku Koubou's Kin No Usagi sounds like a spell or something!?
Hop BroFoeder means a big wooden barrel for aging, and Kin No Usagi has golden peach, dark cherry, and apricot, so it's basically a fruit-forward saison!
MugiOh wow, even the name Peanut Butter Milk Stout from Belchi Beaver makes it feel like a full-on dessert beer!
Hop BroAnd lunch runs from 12 to 14, so Chucknut's Vienna Lager or Oni-Densetsu's Pale Ale would fit the spices nicely, and later on you can dive into a full IPA comparison festival.
MugiWest Coast Brewing's Slow Motion is labeled a CBD Hazy Session IPA, but what does that even mean!?
Hop BroSince it's a Session IPA, it's the lighter 4.5% kind meant for enjoying the aroma, and leaving the CBD label aside, the mouthfeel is mellow and hazy; if you go all the way to Brasserie Knot's Moon DIPA at 8.0%, you've got a high-low tasting showdown.
MugiThat settles it! Start with curry and finish with a stout or saison in a Iidabashi pub-crawl plan I want to do right now!
