Three West Coast Brewing anniversary cans arrive at Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar
Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya has added three West Coast Brewing anniversary cans: Lager Break, Haze Alliance, and Firelight. The lineup spans Lager, Hazy TIPA, and American IPA.
Hop BroShibuya just got a little dangerous, because Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar brought in three 7th anniversary cans.
MugiWhat, that's totally an incident! And if it's West Coast Brewing, my legs are already walking to Shibuya!
Hop BroFirst up, Lager Break is the easy opener: a lager with light biscuit-like malt, plus orange, lemongrass, and a hint of honey.
MugiThat name already sounds relaxing! But restful lager means what, a beer that summons a sofa into your heart?
Hop BroNo sofa appears, but your mood definitely sits down. It just means perfect first pint energy, soft and easy on a hot day.
Hop BroThen comes Haze Alliance, a Riwaka-forward Hazy TIPA with mango, papaya, melon, layered citrus, a thick body, and some dank character.
MugiHold on, what does dank mean here!? Why did the beer suddenly sound like a science lab?
Hop BroBasically, it's that vivid green, resinous side of hops coming forward. Think of it as big hop intensity blooming all at once.
Hop BroLast is Firelight, an American IPA with bright citrus and tropical aroma, plus grassy, piney, and lightly herbal notes, but still a crisp drinker.
MugiWhoa, so the tasting flight order is already built in: lager, then Hazy, then IPA!
MugiAnd the post says they're blacklight-reactive cans, right? That is way too perfect for a Shibuya night!
Hop BroThese three show a huge range even from the same West Coast Brewing, so I want to run them in order at Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar on all day place shibuya 1F. Talking about it just makes me want a full side-by-side now.
Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar, on the first floor of all day place shibuya in central Shibuya, has brought in a fresh lineup of West Coast Brewing cans. The post highlights three beers shown under black light, giving the shop a summer-ready mix that moves from a clean lager to a hazy TIPA and an American IPA.
- Lager Break: Light malt notes that suggest biscuit, cereal, and cracker, with orange-like citrus, lemongrass, and a touch of honey. It reads as an easygoing lager built for the first pint on a hot day.
- Haze Alliance: A Hazy TIPA built around Riwaka from freestylehops and eggershops. Tropical mango and papaya meet citrus, melon, and stone fruit, supported by a fuller body, smooth mouthfeel, and a dank edge.
- Firelight: Bright citrus and tropical aromas are joined by grassy, piney, floral, and lightly herbal tones. The result is a brisk American IPA that fits naturally into summer drinking.
As a beer pub, Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar is an easy stop for drinkers who want to try new arrivals in Tokyo without overcomplicating the visit. This release is notable less for one single style than for its range: a crisp lager, a modern hazy IPA, and a classic American IPA, all from the same brewery and all aimed at warm-weather drinking.
