BEER OLYN in Kagurazaka adds two West Coast Brewing anniversary beers
On July 6, BEER OLYN in Kagurazaka announced a return to regular service after its anniversary weekend and introduced two West Coast Brewing 7th-anniversary beers: Cloud 7 and Watermelon Fruit Monster.
Hop BroI want to talk about the two 7th anniversary beers that just landed at BEER OLYN in Kagurazaka. They’re fresh from West Coast Brewing, and getting to compare them right after the shop’s anniversary weekend is pretty great.
MugiWait, BEER OLYN just had its 4th anniversary, and now they’ve got 7th anniversary beers from WCB too? That is a lot of celebration traffic in one place!
Hop BroExactly, and the first one is Cloud 7. It’s a Hazy Double IPA at 8.0% ABV, with ripe peach and nectarine vibes, tropical pineapple and mango, plus a little dank edge in the aroma.
MugiHold on, a dank edge? What does that even mean? You were describing beer and suddenly it sounded like a password to a secret clubhouse!
Hop BroWhat that means is deep hop character. Think green, resinous, a little herbal, the kind of aroma that tightens up all that sweet fruitiness so it doesn’t get sloppy.
MugiOhhh, so Cloud 7 is basically a soft juicy hazy with a neat finish. That actually sounds dangerously easy to love.
Hop BroThen the second one goes completely wild: Watermelon Fruit Monster. It’s a Sour Double IPA with watermelon, guava, rhubarb, and ginger, also 8.0% ABV, made as a special WCB anniversary release.
MugiWhat is that lineup, maximum fruit chaos? Watermelon, guava, rhubarb, and ginger sounds like a refrigerator having the best day of its life!
Hop BroAnd somehow it still sounds intentional, because the point is the balance of fruit and acidity. BEER OLYN is exactly the kind of Kagurazaka spot where taking your time with a side-by-side tasting makes sense.
MugiThen the route is obvious: get dreamy with Cloud 7 first, then let Fruit Monster wake me back up. I am fully locked into the compare both plan now.
Hop BroAgreed, if we’re doing this properly, it has to be a Kagurazaka pint. Cloud 7 and Watermelon Fruit Monster both sound like beers I want to drink immediately.
BEER OLYN, a beer pub in Kagurazaka, shared new arrivals from West Coast Brewing in Shizuoka as it reopened after its anniversary weekend. The post thanked guests who visited over the Saturday and Sunday celebration and said the beers arriving during the anniversary period would be introduced one by one.
The two featured beers are both WCB 7th-anniversary releases. First is Cloud 7, a Hazy Double IPA at 8.0% ABV. The post describes layered aromas of peach and nectarine, followed by tropical notes like pineapple and mango, with a pleasant dank edge. It is an easy pick for anyone looking for a soft, juicy hazy IPA.
The second beer is Watermelon Fruit Monster, a Sour Double IPA with watermelon, guava, rhubarb, and ginger, also at 8.0% ABV. It is presented as a special anniversary edition built around bright fruit character and a lively sour profile. For drinkers who like fruit-forward sour beer with a bit of spice, this is the more adventurous choice.
BEER OLYN is located on the 3rd floor of DEAR Kagurazaka in Shinjuku, Tokyo. As a neighborhood beer pub, it is the kind of place where guests can slow down and compare guest beers carefully. These two WCB releases fit that format well and give the bar a fresh post-anniversary lineup.
