Three West Coast Brewing collabs tap in at Tasogare Lily in Nagoya
Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily in Minami Ward, Nagoya, is introducing a three-beer tap list that includes collaborations with West Coast Brewing, White Crow Brewing, and Hop Butcher For The World. It's a lineup meant to be enjoyed with curries like pork vindaloo.
Hop BroThe new taps at Tasogare Lily in Minami Ward, Nagoya are here, and this time there are three beers centered on West Coast Brewing. With collabs and a sour in the mix, it's a pretty playful lineup.
MugiWait! Only three beers, but they're all super distinct? The names alone are packed with information. What should I drink first?
Hop BroThe star is Double Kimchi. It's a West Coast Double IPA from West Coast Brewing × White Crow Brewing, 8.5% ABV, with a hop lineup of Citra CRYO, El Dorado, and Motueka that just makes you grin.
MugiWait, what even is CRYO? Are we already talking about the freezer? Hops can sound that cool?
Hop BroCRYO is basically a concentrated hop ingredient. It's good for pushing aroma forward and backing up the punch of a Double IPA.
MugiI see! So what about The Technician? It says Funky Kettle Sour, and the name already sounds a little eccentric!
Hop BroExactly, it's a beer that's bright and lively with acidity. A Kettle Sour develops acidity during brewing, so it tends to drink sharp, and it seems like a good fit for a hot day or a pre-curry pint.
MugiWhoa! And there's even a beer called No Ketchup!? West Coast Brewing × Hop Butcher For The World sounds like the collabs are holding an international summit!
Hop BroExactly, it's the kind of beer you can expect juicy Hazy Double IPA character from. If that hazy mouthfeel comes with tropical-leaning aromatics, it has presence enough to stand up to curry.
MugiWith pork vindaloo, aloo gobi chicken, and pork cartilage lu rou on the menu, that's too strong a lineup! The spices and beer would make my mouth a total traffic jam!
Hop BroWhat's more, on weekdays they open at 12:00, and on weekends they stay open straight through, so it's easy to drop in. Since they'll also be at SOCIAL TOWER MARKET on May 31, it's safer to check the business hours before going.
MugiYeah, I want to go right now! I want to sweat through curry, shout how good the IPA is, and raise a toast at Tasogare Lily!
