Method Brewing's guest beer "dark method" at Cycad Brewing
An Instagram post announcing the guest beer "dark method" was published at Cycad Brewing, a brewpub in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The name suggests a dark beer, making an in-house tasting comparison an intriguing prospect.
Hop BroHey Mugi, there’s something interesting coming in as a guest beer at Cycad Brewing. They’re announcing Method Brewing’s `dark method` at the brewpub in Nishi-Ikebukuro.
MugiWhoa! Just the name `dark method` already sounds black and powerful! And a guest beer means you can drink something different from the usual keg, right?
Hop BroExactly. Cycad Brewing centers on its own house beers, but when they add a guest tap like this, the whole tap list feels different. The appeal is being able to drink something freshly made in-house while also trying beer from another brewery.
MugiWhat do you mean, the tap list feels different? But it sounds fun! So it’s basically a place where tasting side by side is enjoyable, right?
Hop BroThat’s right. And just from the name alone, it sounds like a dark-style beer where you can expect malt aroma and roasted character. On a day like this, it really fits the mood if you want something a little more settled.
MugiRoasted character like coffee-ish stuff? But getting that far in beer makes it feel like the flavor direction runs deep, and I’m curious!
Hop BroYeah, when the toasty character from roasted malt comes through, caramel-like notes and bitterness tend to ride along too. So `dark method` seems really well suited for people who want to enjoy malt aroma.
MugiI see! Being able to drink something like that inside Nishiike Mart in Nishi-Ikebukuro feels kind of like a secret base, which is great!
Hop BroAnd since Cycad Brewing is a brewpub, the appeal is that you can enjoy it right there on site. When a beer like Method Brewing’s `dark method` gets added, the tap lineup becomes a lot more interesting.
MugiWow, listening to this has already made my throat start looking for beer! If I go next time, this is definitely one I’d put at the top of the list!
Hop BroThat settles it. Today I’m in the mood to try `dark method` at Cycad Brewing. Mugi, shall we start with this one?
MugiYes, let’s go! And if it’s dark-style, it sounds perfect for sipping slowly. I’m in the mood to raise a glass right now!
