Cycad Brewing Updates Its Tap List with 10 House-Brewed Beers
The brewpub "Cycad Brewing" in Tokyo's Kanamecho has published its current tap list. It ranges widely from porter and stout to lager, IPA, and double IPA, and also includes can-poured offerings and mead.
Hop BroThe tap update from Cycad Brewing in Tokyo's Kanamecho is here. Ten house-brewed beers, with a lineup that is seriously packed, from dark styles to lagers and IPAs.
MugiWhat! Ten house-brewed beers? That's not a refrigerator anymore, that's a treasure chest! I feel like I might collapse from not knowing where to start!
Hop BroThe main anchors are these three malt-forward beers: `cookie cream potaro`, a flavored porter, `dark method`, a stout, and `16`, a British golden ale. They line up really nicely around a toasty, roasted character.
MugiWait, what's the difference between a porter and a stout? They're like the black-beer twins, and my brain is already floating away!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, both have the toasty character of roasted malt, but the roasted impression differs a little. A porter tends to show more chocolate or coffee-like notes, while a stout tends to add deeper bitterness and a heavier body on top of that.
MugiI seee! So lager fans have a place here too. I'm really happy it has this crisp style with real depth!
Hop BroThat's the strong point here. `diabolo`, an American amber lager, `PhatQ lager`, a Mexican lager, and `tesla karel`, a Czech premium pale lager make the lager side especially substantial.
MugiWow, you can show that much personality just with lagers! It's like tasting the differences between countries, and the map feels like it keeps spreading while you drink!
Hop BroHop fans shouldn't miss this either. `lowii3`, a New England-style IPA, `dr.`, an American IPA, and `oni sotetsu`, a double IPA, give you a three-stage hop attack. What's more, `lowii3` and `oni sotetsu` also have can listings, so the serving format is another point worth checking.
MugiAnd now there's even the session mead `how to live`? That's unfair! It feels like playfulness beyond beer alone, and it makes me want to take a detour like this in Ikebukuro!
Hop BroThis lineup is strong for Nishi-Ikebukuro, within walking distance of Kanamecho Station. It's a place where you can choose by mood, so tonight you end up wanting to drink while deciding whether to go dark and mellow or push hard with IPA.
MugiIt's decided! It's way too much of a night for a tasting flight, so I'm heading straight to Cycad Brewing now!
