WCB Returns to Roppongi, Tokyo Midtown POP-UP Starts April 23
Shizuoka-born craft brewery West Coast Brewing (WCB) will hold a limited-time pop-up at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi starting April 23, 2026. Now in its third year as a spring staple, this time it will be held as a "final season."
Hop BroShizuoka's West Coast Brewing (WCB) is coming back to Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi from April 23! And it's the final season of the spring POP-UP, too.
MugiWhat! Final means the last one!? Then I have to go!
Hop BroThe venue is Galleria B1, and the run is April 23, 2026 (Thu) to June 21, 2026 (Sun). Hours are 11:00 to 21:00, last order 20:30, and it's open every day during the run.
MugiNice! It's the kind of place you can drop by after work or on a day off! So what can you drink?
Hop BroMostly new releases, with six draft beers available at all times. The style is very much WCB's West Coast line - beers where hop aroma is sharp and the finish is crisp.
MugiWhat does that even mean! "West Coast line" - does it taste like the ocean!? Salty!?
Hop BroNot ocean flavor. Basically, the bitterness is clean and the aroma pops with citrus and pine. The key is dry hopping to layer in the aroma.
MugiOhhh! So it's all about the aroma! And hearing it's as close to freshly made as possible gets me even more excited!
Hop BroThat's a strong point too. They bring in cans and bottles weekly from Mochimune, and you can do takeout or have them opened in the shop. The setup even lets you drink outside on the terrace or lawn plaza.
MugiThat's amazing! Uh, but there are days when I only have cash...
Hop BroIt's cashless only, so cards, electronic money, and QR payments are a must. WCB started in 2019, and it was founded by Derek from Seattle with the idea of bringing fresh craft beer like you'd drink in America to Japan.
MugiKnowing the background makes me want to drink it even more! Final season, Hop Bro, let's toast West Coast in Roppongi!
West Coast Brewing (WCB), based in Mochimune, Shizuoka City and known for its West Coast style, will open a limited-time beer stand in Tokyo Midtown Galleria B1 in Roppongi. The event runs from Thursday, April 23, 2026 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, with business hours from 11:00 to 21:00 (L.O. 20:30), and it will be open every day during the period.
At this POP-UP, six draft beers will be available at all times, centered on new releases. In addition, cans and bottles will be brought in weekly from Mochimune, Shizuoka, making it possible to enjoy takeout or have bottles and cans opened in-store. From a drink after work to outdoor drinking on Midtown's terrace or lawn plaza, the setup lets you enjoy WCB's "freshly made" beer in near-fresh condition in the heart of the city.
WCB launched in 2019. Starting from the idea of its Seattle-born founder, Derek, who wanted to bring the fresh craft beer he used to drink in the U.S. to Japan, the brewery has continued to create new releases at its Mochimune brewery. With U.S.-spec equipment and recipes that highlight the character of hops, it has expanded its fan base in Japan and abroad.
What stands out is that the organizers are describing this Tokyo Midtown appearance as the final season. Since the spring event has become an annual fixture, it looks like a milestone occasion for both returning visitors and first-timers alike. Payment is cashless only (credit cards, electronic money, and QR code payments); cash is not accepted. Details will be updated regularly in the official announcement and on the dedicated Instagram account (@wcb_roppongi).
