Hop BroAt Mihama Base Makuhari in Makuhari, two West Coast Brewing drafts were tapped. Special Delivery:Ramosa and After_dawn are both tempting picks.
MugiWhoa, two new taps at once? And it's West Coast Brewing too - a name that already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe first one, Special Delivery:Ramosa, is a Hazy Double IPA. It leads with the new hop variety Ramosa, dry-hopped together with Citra CRYO, so the aroma is pretty bold.
MugiDry-hopping? What's that, the thing where you put hops in without boiling them? Now it suddenly sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroExactly. It's basically a way to keep the aroma in the beer. By not applying too much heat, you bring out the hop aroma, so tropical notes like pineapple, mango, and orange come forward more easily.
MugiWow. And at 8.0% ABV, it looks gentle, but the inside is seriously strong. Malt that tastes like oat milk is practically dessert territory, right?
Hop BroThe second beer, After_dawn, is a West Coast IPA, so this one is all about crispness. It's interesting how the terpene-driven herbal character, mint, and rosemary are layered with orange and lime.
MugiTerpenes again! Are they what the herbs come from? Why is beer suddenly talking so much about plants!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's like a blueprint for aroma. After_dawn also has a subtle woody note and moderate bitterness, and it has that sharp West Coast Brewing character.
MugiAnd there are eight taps that day, right? With KIRIN HEARTLAND, Imperial Red Ale, and even Hazy DIPA on the board, the temptation to do a tasting flight is way too strong!
Hop BroExactly. And since it's closed on April 6 and 7, checking the dates before you go is essential. If you're tracking WCB's new releases in Makuhari, this one is a pretty good target.
MugiAll right, I'm ready for the tasting flight! I'll go tropical with Special Delivery:Ramosa, and Hop-bro can go crisp with After_dawn!
West Coast Brewing New Taps in Makuhari
At WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE (Mihama Base), a craft beer specialist in Makuhari, Chiba, two draft beers from West Coast Brewing have been newly tapped. In addition to enjoying draft beer primarily in the shop, takeout is also available.
The first new keg is Special Delivery:Ramosa. This Hazy Double IPA was dry-hopped with the new hop variety "Ramosa" as the main hop, alongside Citra CRYO, and has an ABV of 8.0%. Tropical aromas reminiscent of pineapple and mango, bright orange citrus notes, and malt nuances like oat milk layer together to create a satisfying beer with a solid body.
The second keg is After_dawn. This is a West Coast IPA with an ABV of 7.5%. Deep herbal notes derived from terpenes, aromas reminiscent of mint and rosemary, citrus scents of orange and lime, a tropical impression, and a subtle woody character come together in harmony. With a moderate bitterness that tightens the finish, it is a beer that feels distinctly like West Coast Brewing.
The taps that day totaled eight in all. Also on tap were KIRIN HEARTLAND, Isekadoya Beer Imperial Red Ale, West Coast Brewing's The Technician, Karl Strauss Mosaic Session IPA, Belching Beaver Phantom Bride IPA, and Revision Royal Sofa Hazy DIPA. The lineup offers a wide range for comparison tasting, making it easy to choose based on your mood, from hop aroma to malt richness.
