Conveniently located for dropping in after work or before and after live shows, it offers an easygoing way to enjoy a drink.

Dark Crispi Boi belongs to West Coast Brewing’s BOI & GRRL SERIES and is a Czech Amber Lager. It has an alcohol content of 5.0% ABV, and according to the brewery’s description, it uses Sladek hops and is crafted to bring out the rich flavor of Bohemian malt along with the depth created by decoction mashing. Aromatically, notes of biscuit, nuts, and toasty malt stand out, while the palate balances caramel- and honey-like sweetness with a gentle bitterness.

Cyblume is a shop that proudly describes itself on its official website as a “standing bar for craft beer and idol music.” With perks like no cover charge, a terrace, non-smoking indoors, and takeout available, it is easy to drop by without fuss. It suits people who want to enjoy a beer on tap in the lively, relaxed atmosphere that feels characteristic of Maruyama-cho.

This Dark Crispi Boi is the kind of beer that is less about bold hop aroma and more about enjoying the outline of the malt and the smooth drinkability. Even without flashiness, it has the crispness and toasty character of a lager, making it fit both as an aperitif and as a beer to savor slowly. West Coast Brewing’s playful naming and classic lager style are worth checking out at the Cyblume counter.
