Izuyashoten Adds Three New Beers from WEST COAST BREWING
Izuyashoten, a beer pub in Nakanobu, Shinagawa, Tokyo, has added three new beers from Shizuoka's WEST COAST BREWING. The lineup includes collaboration brews with Kyoto Brewing and Black Kite Brewing, spanning West Coast Double IPA, session IPA, and Hazy Double IPA.
Hop BroIzuya Shoten just landed three new WCB beers from WEST COAST BREWING, and the collabs with Kyoto Brewing and Black Kite Brewing make this drop seriously strong.
MugiWait, so this is basically a three-pint trap? If I walked past that place, my feet would betray me.
Hop BroFirst up, GAME NIGHT is a Kyoto Brewing collab, a West Coast Double IPA that should bring clear hop definition and a firm bitter snap.
MugiWhoa, but Double IPA sounds like they stack two beers on top of each other. Is that legal?
Hop BroNot a beer tower, just higher flavor density. Usually more alcohol, more hops, and more impact in each sip.
MugiOkay, then RED LIGHT with CBD and terpenes... what is that, a science class hiding in a tap list?!
Hop BroTerpenes are aroma compounds found in plants, so they connect nicely to hop character. RED LIGHT is a West Coast Session IPA, so it should stay light on its feet while keeping the aroma interesting.
MugiGot it! Then what about Pomona yeast in The Trial? That name sounds like a secret final boss.
Hop BroThat one's a Black Kite Brewing collab, and the point is untapped hop potential. It uses Pomona yeast in a Hazy Double IPA, so expect juicy haze with a more experimental edge.
MugiClassic bitterness on one side, weird fun aromas on the other? A tasting flight wins. I would absolutely grin at that lineup.
Hop BroPut those three side by side at Izuya Shoten and it's a full-night hop trip. GAME NIGHT first, RED LIGHT in the middle, The Trial to finish. Now I want a glass too.
