Hop BroThe beer pub in Nerima Ward, Sekimachi Cellar, has received three new arrivals. When West Coast Brewing cans line the shelves, the whole display instantly feels livelier.
MugiWhoa! Three cans arrived? And when they come in cans, it makes you want to take them home.
Hop BroFirst up is The Centaur Beam. It's a Pina Colada Sour at 6.5% ABV, and the balance of fruitiness and acidity is really clean, so it's easy to put it in the lineup as a first drink.
MugiWhat is that? Pina Colada Sour sounds more like a tropical drink than beer!
Hop BroExactly. It has that pineapple-and-coconut vibe layered with sour acidity. Because it's designed to be sweet-tart, it goes down smoothly without feeling heavy.
MugiNice! I'm curious about the next one, Taco Time. Is that the one you drink while eating tacos?
Hop BroIt pairs really well, actually. It's a Hoppy Pils at 5.0% ABV, using Citra, Cashmere, and Nelson Sauvin, so it has a light feel while still letting the hop aroma come through clearly.
MugiThe hop names just got more intense! Are Citra and Nelson Sauvin really that different?
Hop BroCitra tends to bring out citrus notes, while Nelson Sauvin often gives a white-grape-like nuance. That's why it's easy to pair with food while still having a distinct personality.
MugiAnd the last one is Endgame Magic! The name alone sounds strong, and 9.0% ABV sounds like it calls for some serious resolve!
Hop BroExactly. This is a TDH Hazy Triple IPA with Citra CRYO, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin giving it a rich, full-bodied profile. It's the kind of beer that suits trying it at the first-floor counter and then settling in on the second-floor terrace.
MugiSo they really have everything from light to rich! Today I seriously want to stop by Sekimachi Cellar and agonize over which one to drink first!
Hop BroThe fun is in the time you spend deciding too. So first, check the shelves, and then let's have a toast.
Sekimachi Cellar's Instagram post introduces three canned beers as newly arrived items from West Coast Brewing. The shop is a beer pub in Sekimachi Higashi, Nerima Ward, Tokyo, and its defining features are a first-floor standing-drink counter and a second-floor terrace, where customers can enjoy the alcohol they buy on the spot.
The first beer on the shelf is The Centaur Beam. Its style is Pina Colada Sour, and its ABV is 6.5%. With a balance of fruitiness and acidity that is easy to appreciate, it looks like a beer that fits well as a slow, easy first pour.
Next is Taco Time. This one is a Hoppy Pils at 5.0% ABV. It uses Citra, Cashmere, and Nelson Sauvin hops, giving it a design that brings out a clear aromatic profile while keeping things light. Even though it came in cans rather than on tap, its character clearly makes it easy to pair with food.
And then there's Endgame Magic. A TDH Hazy Triple IPA at 9.0% ABV, this is a beer with serious presence. The hops are Citra CRYO, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin. In a place like Sekimachi Cellar, it seems well suited to trying one glass at the first-floor counter and, if you like it, settling in on the second-floor terrace.
Sekimachi Cellar is a liquor specialty shop that carries a broad selection, including sake, wine, and whiskey, but its refrigerated craft beer case also has a strong presence. When a lineup with a clear range of styles, like West Coast Brewing, comes in, the fun of choosing according to your mood increases, from light pilsners to high-ABV hazies. If you're interested, it's worth checking the store lineup early.
