MugiWhat, three at once? My urge to sample them all is already out of control!
Hop BroFirst, Twelve As One is a vivid orange West Coast IPA. Its grape-like aroma, reminiscent of Kyoho grapes, is the fun part.
MugiGrapes in an IPA? Does that mean there is a grape harvest in my glass?
Hop BroClose, but it does not necessarily contain juice. The hop blend creates those notes: a damp, resinous dank hop character, woody tones, and citrus-peel bitterness.
MugiDunk? I thought that was basketball! Still, if it is dry and refreshing, it sounds like a game-day companion.
Hop BroThen there is FULL HOP ALCHEMIST-X 2026, a hazy double IPA with ripe peach and mango aromas. It revisits a 2020 recipe with refined hop selection.
MugiWow! It sounds rich and hazy, yet drinks dry. If it develops a bright pineapple note as it warms, I want to take my time with it!
Hop BroFinally, TACO TIME is a hoppy pilsner layering lime character with lemon and grapefruit-like hops. Its light body and fizz are made to lift tacos.
MugiI can hear tacos calling us! Since Izuya Shoten offers paid tastings, let us toast through all three together, Hop Bro!
Three New West Coast Brewing Beers at Izuya Shoten
Izuya Shoten, a beer pub in Nakanobu, Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced the arrival of three beers from West Coast Brewing. The lineup covers a broad range of hop expressions, from grape-like fruit character and resinous depth to bright citrus and a crisp finish.
Twelve As One
“Twelve As One,” available in a 500ml format, is a West Coast IPA with a vivid orange appearance. Its aroma and flavor suggest ripe Kyoho grapes, complemented by a damp, dank quality and woody impressions. A pleasant bitterness reminiscent of citrus peel emerges on the finish. The beer is dry and refreshing, making it a natural choice for casual drinking or pairing with sports viewing.
FULL HOP ALCHEMIST-X 2026
“FULL HOP ALCHEMIST-X 2026” is a Hazy Double IPA based on a revisited version of the recipe first released in 2020. West Coast Brewing refined the hop selection while recreating the beer. Sweet aromas of ripe yellow peach and mango lead into a more expressive pineapple character as the beer warms. A comfortable bitterness appears behind the fruit-forward sweetness, while the dry finish keeps the beer from becoming heavy.
TACO TIME
“TACO TIME” is a hoppy pilsner designed with food in mind. Lime-like citrus notes spread across the palate, joined by hop-derived lemon and grapefruit flavors. Its light body is intended to enhance the flavor of tacos, while lively carbonation delivers a crisp and refreshing drinking experience.
Izuya Shoten is known as a compact beer pub where guests can also enjoy paid tastings in the shop. For craft beer fans in and around Nakanobu, this new three-beer selection offers an appealing way to explore different sides of West Coast Brewing’s hop-focused brewing.
