Hop-Scotch Tokyo Announces an 8-Beer Tap List for May 27's "Curry Wednesday!!"
The beer pub Hop-Scotch Tokyo in Fujimi, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, posted its operating guide for Wednesday, May 27. The lunch curry will be Chettinad chicken, and eight craft beers including Trademark Brewing and Totopia Brewery will be available inside.
Hop BroToday is Hop-Scotch Tokyo's Curry Wednesday!!, right? On Wednesday, May 27, they open at 12:00, so the curry-and-beer flow is already set from lunchtime.
MugiWait, it's already set from lunchtime!? And 12:00 opening sounds like they're deliberately luring lunch people into drinking!
Hop BroWhat's more, they take a break from 14:00 to 16:00, but it's fun to go hard before and after that. The lunch curry is Chettinad chicken, the kind where the spices really come through and make you want a beer.
MugiChettinad? What is that, some kind of spell? You mean it's extra spicy?
Hop BroExactly. It's a South Indian-style curry with a strong aroma, where the chicken's umami and spices really push through. What goes with that is the pleasant bitterness of a fragrant IPA.
MugiI see, so beer with curry is fought that way! And the tap list has eight beers, which is basically too many choices in the best possible way, right?
Hop BroThis time the lineup has a lot of range. Space Beach from Trademark Brewing, Rippleohobia and Biasphobia from Totopia Brewery, and even Foeder Sour 2024 from AJB Brewing are on tap.
MugiFoeder again with the difficult word! So that means something like a wood-barrel-style sour?
Hop BroThat's a good read. Aging in a large wooden fermenter gives the sourness depth and adds woody nuance. So not just bitterness, but an acidic beer can pair well with food too.
MugiOhhh! And with roasty styles like Obsidiana in the mix, it sounds like you can pick based on how you feel after the curry!
Hop BroExactly. There's also a Mexican dark lager, and hop-forward beers like Oni-Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale CGX Strata ver., so you can play with both aroma and food-pairing beers.
MugiI've decided: first curry, then an IPA, and finish with a sour! This is definitely a serious daytime drinking kind of day. I want to go already!
