Curry and Beer: Tasogare Lily unveils a tap list featuring West Coast Brewing collaborations
The beer pub "Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily" in Minami Ward, Nagoya, posted on May 15 to announce that it would be open only for lunch and to reveal its tap list. Three beers were on the lineup, including two collaborations with West Coast Brewing, while the curry offerings were Pork Vindaloo, Aloo Ghee Chicken, and Taso Rice.
Hop BroTasogare Lily in Minami Ward, Nagoya, has put out a tap list with lunch-only service. I really like a curry-and-beer place that seriously invites you in from lunchtime.
MugiWhoa, you can already drink even though it’s not night!? And with just three taps, I’d be lost before I even picked one!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. Double Kimchi is a West Coast Double IPA from West Coast Brewing x White Crow Brewing, with 8.5% ABV. It uses Citra CRYO, El Dorado, and Motueka, so the aroma should really come at you.
MugiWait, what even is Citra CRYO!? It sounds like beer from the future, like some kind of ice-cold beer tech!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a hop ingredient packed with aroma. So it’s like a concentrated version of hop aroma, where even a small amount can deliver a big citrusy or tropical punch.
MugiI see! So West Coast Brewing’s The Technician being a Funky Kettle Sour means it’s that tart-and-tasty style, and it goes well with curry?
Hop BroExactly. The acidity makes it easy to pair with curries like Pork Vindaloo. And the other one, No Ketchup, is a Hazy Double IPA, so you get that juicy, hazy character really clearly.
MugiWow, pairing the sourness with Pork Vindaloo and then going sweet and juicy with a Hazy Double IPA is basically a lunch-time victory lane!
Hop BroAnd on May 31, they’ll be closed because they’re vending at SOCIAL TOWER MARKET, so checking the date is essential before going. Weekdays open for lunch at 12:00, and on weekends they run straight through, so the setup is clearly designed for drinking from midday.
MugiJust hearing that makes me hungry! I want to enjoy both curry and the taps while having a beer from midday and get pulled right into Tasogare Lily today!
