Hop BroThis year's WCB Summer Festival 2026 in Shizuoka City is looking really hot too. West Coast Brewing is celebrating its 7th anniversary and holding it in Mochimune on Sunday, July 5.
MugiWhoa! Even though it's a beer event, it feels so much like a festival! And the venue is the west-side plaza at Mochimune Port, so even the sea breeze is part of the treat.
Hop BroThat's the best part. And this time there are a whopping 20 taps, with the same dependable lineup every year. Since you drink by exchanging your ticket, you can enjoy it at your own pace instead of sharing.
Mugi20 taps? So you mean there are 20 faucets? Wait, does the beer bar turn into a giant kitchen?
Hop BroPretty much. In other words, there are a lot of taps, so you can try all of WCB's different personalities at once. And this time there's also that special 7th-anniversary feel, so you can expect something playful as well as the classics.
MugiWhat? That sounds fun! It's not just beer, there’s bon odori and live music too? This is basically a full-on festival.
Hop BroExactly. The Imagine Bon Odori Club will be there, plus tezutsu fireworks and taiko drums, so it's not just a tasting event. The whole venue comes together with the heat of a summer festival, and that’s what feels so WCB.
MugiTezutsu fireworks are the real deal, right!? If I watched those while drinking beer, I’d probably have my excitement blown through the roof.
Hop BroAnd Verty will be there too, so it still has that local feel. The related goods can be bought at the WCB Mochimune Taproom on July 4 and 5, and since there’s even a pre-party, you get two days of ways to enjoy it.
MugiFree admission and rain-or-shine, there’s basically every reason to go! Go by public transit, take heatstroke precautions, and then all that’s left is to drink.
Hop BroExactly. In Mochimune in summer, it’s like tasting music, fireworks, and beer all together. This is already amazing from the first drink, including the finale fireworks, and honestly, I’m starting to want a beer right now.
MugiMe too! A summer that makes you want to toast is exactly what events like this are about. I want to kick off this year’s summer early with a WCB beer in hand!
Summer Festival for the 7th Anniversary, Again This Year in Mochimune
West Coast Brewing, based in Shizuoka City, will hold its 7th anniversary event, "WCB Summer Festival 2026," on Sunday, July 5, from 12:00 to 20:00.

Highlights of the Day
At the WCB booth, there will be the same reliable 20 taps every year, and beer will be served in exchange for advance-sale tickets or same-day tickets. Food stalls, including local eateries and popular shops, will line the venue, creating a setup where visitors can move around the entire area while enjoying beer and food together.
The guest performances are also packed.
