The craft beer specialty shop "vivo! BEER + DININGBAR" in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, introduced CYCAD BREWING's "16 (sixteen)" as the first of its 16th-anniversary original beers.

In its post, the beer was described as a dry, easy-drinking brew where restrained malt and an orange-like hop character are in harmony. As a beer tied to the anniversary milestone, it is a straightforward project that puts the number "16" front and center, just as its name suggests.

The shop is a basement beer pub tucked away on Ikebukuro Sunshine Street, and its appeal is the ability to enjoy craft beer in a relaxed setting. It seems like a good fit for anyone who wants to slowly savor a keg they are curious about. The second image is also said to have been created by CYCAD BREWING, adding a playful touch that fits the anniversary project.

In addition, from April 22 to 26, the venue plans to tap two original 16th-anniversary beers, hand out commemorative stickers, and serve rare beers from breweries they work closely with. There was also an announcement of an early tap starting today at 4 p.m., so the activity is likely to continue toward anniversary week. Because the beer lineup changes daily, it is best to check the latest information before visiting.
