Cycad Brewing Joins April 11's 'Lager & IZAKAYA,' Bringing Together Lagers
The brewpub Cycad Brewing in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, announced the April 11 event "Lager & IZAKAYA." The venue is Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya. The event will feature lagers from Cycad Brewing, Uchoten Brewing, and Mikkeller, along with food and DJs.
Hop BroSo, Tokyo's Nishi-Ikebukuro-based Cycad Brewing is doing "Lager & IZAKAYA" at Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya on Saturday, April 11, right?
MugiWait! It's a beer event, but with an izakaya vibe? Just the phrase transforming into an IZAKAYA already sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly, and the big point is that the lagers are gathering. Since lagers from Cycad Brewing, Uchoten Brewing, and Mikkeller will all be lined up, the tasting comparison should be really interesting.
MugiI keep hearing about lager, but somehow they all look the same to me. From light to dark? Does it really have that much range?
Hop BroIt does. Because lagers are fermented slowly at low temperatures, they are not just crisp and clean; some styles also develop malty depth.
MugiOhhh, so there are ones you can gulp down lightly and ones with a rich, lingering depth. Easy to compare side by side sounds beginner-friendly too!
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too. Food starts at 15:00, and Nihonshuya and Mark Campbell Crepe are joining in, so this isn't just a beer-only event.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! And there are DJs at night too? DJs from 18:00 makes it sound like a daytime drinking plan that turns into a festival!
Hop BroThat's what makes it good. You eat and drink during the day, then ride the sound at night, so it's designed to be enjoyed in one continuous flow.
MugiAnd if the venue is Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar, the atmosphere should be great too! It feels like a spring weekend event I'd want to put on my calendar already.
Hop BroTotally. The neighborhood-brewpub feel of Cycad Brewing also comes through, and this is the kind of event that makes you want to start with just one drink.
MugiYeah, I'm fully in the mood to drink now! Lagers and an izakaya experience is basically the correct answer for the weekend!
