Beer O'clock Taps CHORYO's "WEST COAST IPA 2026" on 4/17
On its April 17 post, Chiba's Beer O'clock announced the new tapping of CHORYO's "WEST COAST IPA 2026." With the satisfying drinkability of a Double IPA layered with berry- and citrus-like aromas, it's a beer you can enjoy in the shop during its all-day hours.
Hop BroToday there was movement at Beer O'clock in Chiba. For today's New TAP, CHORYO's "WEST COAST IPA 2026" has been tapped.
MugiWhoa, what is that! Just the name WEST COAST IPA sounds intense, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Double IPA with an alcohol content of 7.0%. It has real heft, while the aroma is built to let berry and citrus notes stand out beautifully.
MugiSo does double mean it's twice the amount? That sounds kind of dangerous!
Hop BroNot the volume - it usually means a stronger IPA. It's the kind that turns up the hop presence and malt body and drinks with real force.
MugiI see! And now the hops get complicated too. I heard Pink and Mosaic and it sounds like a bouquet of flowers!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it uses Pink, Mosaic, Equanot Cryo, Centennial Cryo, Clumbus, and Magnum. In particular, Cryo hops are a powdery material made by concentrating lupulin, so they make it easier to push the aroma forward strongly.
MugiCryo? What is that, some kind of space language!? So basically, it means the aroma is intense, right?
Hop BroExactly. And this one also brings berry, orange, and grapefruit, plus a slightly dank nuance. It's that grassy, sticky kind of hop character.
MugiBeer O'clock is near Chiba Station and has up to 12 TAPs, right? And if it's open all day, you can stop by from lunchtime too!
Hop BroThat's right. And since they even have the latest issue of TRANSPORTER inside, you can read while you drink. Today feels like the kind of day that makes you want another IPA in hand.
MugiWhoa, this is definitely a dangerous one! I can't stop the feeling that I want to drink it right now!
The guest beer lineup changed on April 17 at Beer O'clock, the beer pub in Fujimi, Chuo Ward, Chiba City.
In its post, while touching on the news that Belgium Beer Weekend had kicked off in Hibiya, it introduced CHORYO's "WEST COAST IPA 2026" as today's New TAP. The style is Double IPA, and the alcohol content is 7.0%. The hops used are Pink, Mosaic, Equanot Cryo, Centennial Cryo, Clumbus, and Magnum, creating a beer designed to bring forward aromas reminiscent of berries, orange, and grapefruit, along with a dank nuance.
Beer O'clock is known as a craft beer pub where people in the Chiba Station area can casually enjoy craft beer, and it is equipped with up to 12 TAPs. It's easy to spend time there at either the counter or a table, and the all-day hours from afternoon to night are part of its appeal. On a guest-beer changeover day like this, it's a good choice not only for those looking for a dependable pint, but also for those who want to compare different IPAs. The latest issue of TRANSPORTER has also arrived inside, making it a very Beer O'clock kind of day, where you can enjoy reading material with a beer in hand.
