Hop BroThe new arrivals at Cycad Brewing, the brewpub in Nishi-Ikebukuro, are really interesting. Its Instagram "NEW BEER..." post gives you a full view of what's on the shelves.
MugiWhoa! So it's a whole lineup of new beers? If I saw that, my feet would probably stop on their own at the entrance!
Hop BroAnd the focus is on IPA styles, so the lineup is all about hop aroma. Seeing VERTERE's "Passiflora" and OUR BREWING's "Magic Flavour" is pretty exciting, right?
MugiWhat is that! It says Hazy and WC and all that, but is that some kind of spell? It sounds amazing, but honestly I don't really get it!
Hop BroBasically, hazy styles are soft and juicy, while West Coast styles have a sharper bitterness. With Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, Hazy Pale Ale, and Hazy TIPA, the appeal is how wide the drinking styles are.
MugiI see! If you can even enjoy the differences in bitterness, beer comparisons sound so much fun! It's the kind of thing where you can't decide on the first glass and then get even more lost on the second!
Hop BroExactly. And you can also see the logos for Burnt Mill and BrewDog, so it looks like British breweries are mixed in too. When you have Smoked Hazy IPA, Black IPA, and West Coast TIPA, the shelf is basically a tiny IPA exhibition.
MugiWhoa! They even have a black IPA? It already sounds like it has a strong personality just from the look of it, and now I'm kind of excited!
Hop BroCycad Brewing is a brewpub with fast turnover, so it's also nice that you can easily track each beer's character one by one. If you're looking for fresh guest beers in Ikebukuro, this is definitely one to watch.
MugiThen let's head to Ikebukuro today and do a guest beer tasting! I'm curious about both Passiflora and Magic Flavour, and my throat is already doing warm-up exercises!
