New WCB arrivals hit Mercato Mabuchi, alongside Vertere and Black Tide collaborations
Mercato Mabuchi on Hamamatsu's Daito-dori announced this week's new arrivals on Instagram. Centered on three new releases from West Coast Brewing, the lineup also includes collaborations from Vertere and Nobody Brewing, spanning sour, IPA, and lager styles.
Hop BroThe new arrivals at Mercato Mabuchi in Hamamatsu's Daito-dori area are seriously hot this week. Anchored by West Coast Brewing, with collaborations and lagers in the mix, you're guaranteed to linger in front of the shelf.
MugiWhoa, even the three new WCB releases are already luxurious, and there are more!? My head is already full of beer names!
Hop BroFirst up is The Centaur Beam, the fourth collaboration with JRA Hanshin Racecourse. It's a sour ale inspired by piña colada, with pineapple and coconut front and center for a tropical finish.
MugiPiña colada, but it's a sour ale!? Now my brain is a little confused that a summer drink is the main job here!
Hop BroThat tart snap and fruit-forward lift is exactly what makes a sour ale feel so good. So this one isn't just sweet; it's a beer where you can enjoy the aroma of pineapple and coconut in a light, lively way.
MugiI see! Then Taco Time sounds interesting too! "A beer made for tacos" is a pretty bold claim, isn't it?
Hop BroThis is a hoppy pilsner with Citra, Cashmere, and Nelson Sauvin. In other words, it's designed to deliver a lime-like brightness that cuts neatly through taco fat and spices.
MugiWait, a pilsner can smell that aromatic!? Now I want to call it the overachiever of food-pairing beers!
Hop BroAnd Endgame Magic is a Hazy Triple IPA with hops added in three stages. It centers on passion fruit, with orange, peach, and melon layered on top, so it's rich but keeps opening up aromatically.
MugiThree stages? Do the hops clock in at different hours too!? And just the name Hazy Triple IPA makes me feel tipsy!
Hop BroWhat makes this lineup interesting is having Viburnum from Vertere Brewing × Inkhorn Brewing, plus Spinosa and Tidal Cycles all on the shelf. From berry-driven sours to a Strata 100% IPA and a Dortmunder, you can compare sweet fruitiness and food-friendly crispness all at once.
MugiWow, this is definitely the kind of day that makes me want to do a tasting right at the shop! This weekend, we're heading straight for the new arrivals at Mercato Mabuchi!

A Single Hop IPA made with 100% Strata hops. Peach, mango, and passion fruit aromas are tied together with a soft bitterness.
