Tokyo's Tachikawa City-based Sakamichi Brewing introduced West Coast Brewing's latest arrivals from Shizuoka on Instagram. In addition to the taproom near Tachikawa Station's south exit, Sakamichi Brewing also operates Sakamichi North on the north side, and the post announced that the items are available at both locations.

The four varieties on the shelf this time were:

- Starwatcher / West Coast IPA / 7.0%
- Apples Apples / Hard Apple Cider / 6.5%
- Time Slip / Hazy Pale Ale / 5.5%
- Full Hop Alchemist v29 - Throwback Series / Hazy Double IPA / 8.5%

Looking at the lineup, the range of flavors is clearly defined, from the standard-bearing "Starwatcher," a West Coast IPA, to the hard cider "Apples Apples," the spring-like Hazy Pale Ale "Time Slip," and the rich Hazy Double IPA "Full Hop Alchemist v29 - Throwback Series." The selection seems aimed not only at IPA fans but also at drinkers looking for fruity cider or a lighter hazy style.

Sakamichi Brewing is characterized not just by lining up craft beers, but by sharing them in a way that makes it easy for drinkers to choose, clearly indicating the style and ABV. An arrival announcement like this should serve as useful guidance in-store for people stopping by after work or anyone looking for a new pint in the Tachikawa area.

The fun of following West Coast Brewing's new releases, paired with Sakamichi Brewing's two locations where you can enjoy them in Tachikawa, makes for an update hard for beer lovers to ignore.
