Canal brewing to Host Sri Lankan Curry and Karaoke Club on March 22
Tokyo's Oimachi-based Canal brewing held Sri Lankan curry service and a "Karaoke Club" on March 22. The tap list posted that day featured two house IPAs plus a diverse lineup from CAMADO BREWERY, FILL BREWING, RIOT BEER, and others, with mention of a limited Stone IPA pour.
Hop BroCanal brewing in Oimachi pulled off a pretty bold day on March 22. Holding Sri Lankan curry and the Karaoke Club on the same day is exactly the kind of thing that makes it more than just a beer event, right?
MugiWhat! They're doing curry and karaoke at the same time!? There's already so much going on that it sounds fun before you even get to the beer!
Hop BroExactly. Lunch starts with Sri Lankan curry at 12:00, and the Karaoke Club starts at 14:00. Drinking, eating, and singing all in one day really gives it a strong community vibe.
MugiBut what was so great about the tap list? It said there were plenty of guests, but I'm totally lost on what to choose!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: in addition to Canal brewing's two house IPAs, there were beers from CAMADO BREWERY, FILL BREWING, and RIOT BEER lined up too. IPA, saison, stout, and draft styles made it a lineup built for side-by-side tasting.
MugiSaison and draft suddenly make it feel like a beer class! Are the "style differences" really that noticeable?
Hop BroThey are. For example, CAMADO BREWERY × Canal brewing × Bar FUKURO's Hoppy Citrus Saison has a bright citrus character and lively carbonation, so it often drinks more easily than an IPA. On the other hand, something like RIOT BEER's DarkLands, a Belgian stout, is the kind of beer you sip slowly for its roastiness and depth.
MugiWow! Then FILL BREWING's Pineapple Hazy IPA already sounds delicious just from the name, and my stomach is reacting to the beer already!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there's the extra draw of Stone IPA being tapped exclusively that day. For people who really want a firm hop bitterness, that's a cup you really shouldn't miss.
MugiBitterness scares me a little, but when I hear 'hop bitterness,' it suddenly sounds cool! And after eating curry, it probably pairs really well!
Hop BroWhat's more, Canal brewing is a station-close brewery at 1-26-4 Oi, so it's great for dropping in casually and enjoying the event too. I really like how they weave craft beer into everyday life.
MugiGot it, today's about curry and IPA! I probably won't sing, but now I really want to go all out on the beer!
