Hop BroWITCH CRAFT Market in Ozu, Kumamoto has just received four WCB beers from Shizuoka’s West Coast Brewing. It’s a great night for IPA fans!
MugiWhoa, four beers at once? We can do a whole tasting flight—my glass collection is not prepared!
Hop BroFirst up is Harmonic Dreams: an 8.0% Double IPA with Citra, Strata, and Idaho 7. Think grapefruit and orange, layered with a dank edge.
MugiWhat does a dank edge mean? Is the beer going to slam-dunk into my glass?
Hop BroNot quite, though it has plenty of impact! In beer, dank means a deep green aroma—like herbs, resin, and a slightly damp forest.
MugiA forest in a glass! If I want something soft and juicy, then The Room Hazy IPA sounds like my pick, right?
Hop BroThat’s a smart choice. The Room combines juicy hop character with a soft, smooth mouthfeel. Hazy IPAs often make their bitterness feel gentler, too.
MugiNice! And for someone who loves crisp bitterness, the 7.0% Starwatcher IPA is the answer?
Hop BroExactly. Starwatcher delivers sharp West Coast bitterness and layered aromatics—the kind of finish that snaps everything neatly into place.
MugiBut TDHSSR sounds like a secret code! Hearing it is a 9.0% IPA already makes me sit up straight.
Hop BroTDH means Triple Dry-Hopped: hops are added three times after fermentation to build aroma. TDHSSR is a Hazy Triple IPA packed with tropical and citrus notes.
MugiFrom easygoing haze to crisp West Coast bitterness, then rich Double and Triple IPAs—what an amazing WCB range to explore!
Hop BroPair them with food on a cool autumn evening and find your favorite. Check availability before visiting, then cheers in Ozu!
MugiDeal! I’ll start with The Room, and you take Harmonic Dreams. Now I want to visit that beer pub immediately!
