Three West Coast Brewing beers arrive at Nagoya's Tasogare Lily, recommended with curry
The beer pub Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily in Minami Ward, Nagoya, has unveiled a tap list featuring three kegs, including West Coast Brewing × White Crow Brewing's "Double Kimchi." It also announced a booth at the May 31 "SOCIAL TOWER MARKET" and a Japanese food gathering on June 19.
Hop BroThe three-tap lineup at Tasogare Lily in Nagoya's Minami Ward is hot right now. It's built around West Coast Brewing, with collaborations in the mix, so it's the kind of thing that gets both curry fans and beer fans buzzing.
MugiWait, just three taps and it's that exciting!? With two collaboration beers in there, it already has that strong lineup energy!
Hop BroFirst up is Double Kimchi. It's a West Coast Double IPA at 8.5% ABV, and the hop bill of Citra CRYO, El Dorado, and Motueka really pushes the aroma hard.
MugiHold on, what even is CRYO!? My brain is floating from this hop-name festival!
Hop BroCRYO is basically hops with the useful compounds concentrated. So it tends to sharpen the aroma and bitterness, and you can think of it as the kind of thing that gives you a thick hop presence.
MugiAh, I get it! So what about The Technician? Funky Kettle Sour sounds kind of science-y, but I love how laid-back the name is!
Hop BroThat's 5.5% and it's a beer where acidity takes the lead. It has a crisp sour edge, so it should cut through the fat and spice in curry and make for a really lively drink.
MugiSo it's being paired with curry from the start! Pork vindaloo and shiitake chicken keema and all those menu names are enough to make me hungry just imagining them!
Hop BroExactly, and No Ketchup is a cross-collab with Hop Butcher For The World, a Hazy Double IPA at 7.5%. The juiciness really comes forward, so it sounds like a good match for richer dishes like butter chicken.
MugiBeing able to do that kind of pairing in Nagoya is amazing! This is what the happiness of curry and beer is all about.
Hop BroAnd the business info is practical too: weekdays are split between lunch and evening service, while weekends and holidays are all-day. With the May 31 booth and the June 19 washoku gathering, there are plenty of reasons to keep going back.
MugiI can't handle it anymore, I want to drink just reading this! I want to meet up at the keg right now and toast with curry in hand!
Three-tap list unveiled
Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily, in Uchibashi, Minami Ward, Nagoya, has updated its craft beer lineup. In this post, the bar highlighted a total of three kegs centered on West Coast Brewing, including two collaboration brews. With a lineup that ranges from layered hop character to acidity and juiciness, it is the kind of selection that makes you want to see how it pairs with curry.
Beers listed
- Double Kimchi / West Coast Brewing × White Crow Brewing
- West Coast Double IPA, 8.5% ABV. Brewed with Citra CRYO, El Dorado, and Motueka.
- The Technician / West Coast Brewing
- Funky Kettle Sour, 5.5% ABV.
- No Ketchup / West Coast Brewing × Hop Butcher For The World
- Hazy Double IPA, 7.5% ABV. A cross-collaboration with the Chicago, U.S. brewery.
True to its name, this is a place where you can enjoy curry and beer together. The post also introduced three curry dishes: pork vindaloo, shiitake chicken keema, and Rebellious Butter Chicken, making it easy to imagine a spicy dish with a stronger IPA and a sour that brings out acidity. Rather than just drinking the beer on its own, pairing it with food broadens the ways to enjoy it.
The business details are specific, too. On weekdays, it opens at 12:00 for lunch until 14:00 last order, and reopens at 17:00 for dinner. On weekends and public holidays, it is open continuously from 12:00. At the time of posting, the following Friday the 22nd was lunch service only, with dinner service closed.
It also announced a booth at Sunday, May 31's "SOCIAL TOWER MARKET," and the first "Washoku no Kai" on Friday, June 19. It also outlined plans for a washoku gathering to be held on the third Friday starting next month. Along with the tap update, there was movement on the event side as well. The post showed Tasogare Lily's balance of everyday use and special-occasion appeal, including new craft beer releases, spice dishes, and event information.
