HOP MAN in Chigasaki taps West Coast Brewing Cloud 7
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has highlighted West Coast Brewing’s guest beer Cloud 7. The beer is a 7th-anniversary Hazy Double IPA brewed with Mosaic LUPOMAX, Idaho 7, and Mosaic.
Hop BroAt HOP MAN in Chigasaki, they just tapped West Coast Brewing’s Cloud 7 on draft, and that definitely gets my attention.
MugiWait, HOP MAN is that beer pub in Shonan, right? Getting a fresh WCB guest beer there feels like a real event!
Hop BroAnd Cloud 7 is even better because it’s a 7th anniversary beer from WCB. The style is a Hazy Double IPA, which already tells you it means business.
MugiWhoa, okay, but Hazy Double IPA sounds like three different warnings smashed together!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Hazy usually means juicy and soft, Double IPA means bigger body and strength, and this one sits at 8.0% ABV, so it’s got real weight.
Mugi8.0%!? That sounds like the kind of beer where one casual gulp leads to an accidental moon landing.
Hop BroThe hop bill is strong too: Mosaic LUPOMAX, Idaho 7, and Mosaic again. Especially Mosaic LUPOMAX gives you a more concentrated hop punch.
MugiWhat is that!? LUPOMAX sounds like a finishing move. So it’s basically a hop power-up pack?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s a pretty good way to put it. The aroma brings ripe peach and nectarine, layers in pineapple and mango, then finishes with a dank edge so it doesn’t just taste sweet.
MugiFruit on fruit and then dankness too? That’s chaotic in the best way. If Chigasaki has a modern IPA like this, I want in immediately.
Hop BroThis is exactly why guest taps matter. If you’re tracking WCB in Shonan, Cloud 7 feels like a must-watch pour.
MugiThat settles it. My brain is already full of peach and mango, so now I just need a glass right now with you, Hop Bro!
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki’s Jukkenzaka area, has featured Cloud 7 from West Coast Brewing as a guest beer. The original Instagram post is titled "WEST COAST BREWING Cloud 7..." and clearly positions it as a seasonal guest offering.
Cloud 7 is a Hazy Double IPA from West Coast Brewing, clocking in at 8.0% ABV. According to the brewery’s official beer page, it is brewed with Mosaic LUPOMAX, Idaho 7, and Mosaic. It is also presented as a 7th-anniversary beer for the brewery.
The flavor profile is described in detail on the brewery site. Expect ripe peach and nectarine on the aroma, layered with pineapple and mango character, plus a distinctly dank note that gives the beer balance and depth. In other words, this is a modern hop-forward hazy built with enough character to stand on its own.
For beer drinkers in the Shonan area, HOP MAN is the kind of place where a release like this matters. As a local beer pub, it gives guests a chance to follow current guest taps closely, and Cloud 7 is a strong example of the sort of fresh, hop-driven beer that WCB fans tend to look for.
