Tap Info

At the beer pub Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, an IPA from Cerebral Brewing has been tapped. The post says both its appearance and flavor are clear, and that it has a well-defined IPA profile.

Cerebral Brewing is a brewery in Denver, Colorado, and on its official website it states that it makes beer by combining "scientific methods" and an "artistic perspective." In practice, the company promotes brewing that emphasizes balance and drinkability, and this IPA also reflects that direction.

Two Fingers is a beer pub in the Ikebukuro area where beer takes center stage. Located in Nishi-Ikebukuro 3-chome, it is easy to stop by after work or while bar-hopping. At a place like this, finding an IPA from an overseas brewery that is not widely known is a welcome point for craft beer fans.

With this tapping, even people hearing the name Cerebral Brewing for the first time can enjoy a crisp IPA that is easy to approach. Rather than pushing with a strong personality, it is the kind of beer you want to seek out and try if you spot it on the bar, for those who want to savor a clean, clear finish.
