Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo has tapped one keg of West Coast Brewing's flagship West Coast IPA, "Starwatcher." The post announced, "One keg tapped today," making this a pour that beer lovers won't want to miss. With an ABV of 7.0%, it is known as a beer that lets you fully enjoy the strong hop presence characteristic of WCB.

The shop is a beer pub located on the 1st floor of Nittetsu Building, 3-4-13 Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku. It is open from 3:00 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, and from 12:00 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with food last orders at 11:15 p.m. and drink last orders at 11:30 p.m. It is closed on Mondays, and when it gets crowded, seating may be limited to 2.5 hours, so it works well for everything from an after-work pint to daytime drinking on the weekend.

Inside the store, sound tends to carry, so guests are encouraged to keep conversations at a slightly lower volume. In return, it is an environment that makes it easier to focus on the food and beer, making it a good place to slowly savor a rotating keg pour. This time, "Starwatcher" is worth paying attention to as a chance to enjoy one of West Coast Brewing's signature IPAs in Takadanobaba.
