Three Kegs Tapped at Nagoya's Twilight Lily, Including Uchu Brewing's "Uchu Deluxe Citra"
The beer pub "Curry and Beer Twilight Lily" in Nagoya's Minami Ward opened at noon on a rainy Saturday. It had three beers on tap from Uchu Brewing, West Coast Brewing, and Numazu Craft, making it a place where you can enjoy daytime drinking and spice curry at the same time.
Hop BroThree kegs tapped at Twilight Lily in Nagoya's Minami Ward is the kind of lineup that makes you want to stop by in the middle of the day. A place where you can enjoy curry and beer at the same time is basically justice.
MugiWait, they welcome daytime drinking? And they open at noon even on rainy days? That sounds like they're declaring, "You're not getting home today!"
Hop BroFirst up is Uchu Deluxe Citra, a TDH DIPA from Uchu Brewing at 8.5%. TDH is the kind of approach that layers on a lot of hops, pushing Citra's citrus character to the front.
MugiWhat's TDH? And what do you mean by layering on hops? Are they stacking hops on top of the foam like building blocks? That sounds like a science room!
Hop BroNot quite building blocks, but you're not far off. The point is to design for intense aroma, so you get tropical notes and juiciness, not just bitterness.
MugiOhh! I'm curious about the next one too, Full Hop Alchemist r7! Just from the name, it feels like a wizard is shaking up a beer!
Hop BroThat one is also West Coast Brewing's Hazy Double IPA, at 8.5% ABV. Hazy styles are defined by their cloudiness and dense aroma, and this one builds its aroma as skillfully as the name Alchemist suggests.
MugiA hazy beer with that much aromatic depth? I love how it can taste different from what you imagine just by looking at it! And r7 sounds a little like a research number, which makes me laugh.
Hop BroThat's why it's great to have Numazu Craft's Bikamo IPA, at 6.5%, in the mix. It doesn't just pound you with strong IPA character; it smooths things out a bit, which makes it easier to pair with curry.
MugiThat's the best! If there are three kinds of curry too, I want to try pairing Kerala chicken with a hop-bomb, Nibo pork with bitterness, and Bai makrut keema with something aroma-driven!
Hop BroExactly. The strength of Twilight Lily is that curry and a drink from noon onward just feels natural there. They also have event appearances coming up, so it's a place worth getting to while you can.
MugiI can't hold back anymore! I want to toast at noon, eat curry, wander in front of the taps wondering what to drink next, and then have one more at the end!
