The Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo brewpub Cycad Brewing has announced its latest tap list as "on tap...". In the post, it introduced the current tap list and noted the opening of a New England-style IPA that highlights fruitiness.

A total of nine beers are currently on tap. The selection ranges widely while centering on IPA styles, from an easy-drinking session ipa with lower alcohol to a crisp west coast IPA and a full-bodied double IPA. Also on the list are italian pilsner, speciality saison, black ipa, and amber IPA, making it a lineup that makes it easy to compare each beer's character, very much in line with the brewery's style.

The shop is located at Nishiike Mart, 4-19-14 Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo. In the Ikebukuro area, it is the kind of place you can drop into when you want to take your time tasting and comparing house-brewed beers. This time's list ranges from light, easy-drinking options to a stronger 9.0% beer, and its appeal lies in the ability to choose according to your taste and drinking pace.
