Two New West Coast Brewing Arrivals at CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP
On May 12, 2026, CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP in Shibuya introduced two new West Coast Brewing arrivals. The Hop Butcher collaboration “No Ketchup” and “Pinata Pale Ale” are a lineup you’d want to enjoy at the outdoor seats on a sunny day.
Hop BroShibuya’s CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP is introducing two new West Coast Brewing arrivals all at once.
MugiWow! Just hearing two new arrivals already makes it impossible to choose!
Hop BroThis time’s stars are the Hop Butcher collaboration No Ketchup and the other one, Pinata Pale Ale.
MugiWhat is that! It’s called No Ketchup and yet it doesn’t taste like ketchup? That’s already got me curious!
Hop BroThe thing is, it’s a beer that lets you drink through aroma, with tropical fruit character layered with orange and melon.
MugiOhhh! Drink through aroma? That sounds less like beer and more like an aromatic dessert!
Hop BroAnd it also has gentle sweetness and depth, so it feels satisfying without being too heavy.
MugiThen what kind of character does Pinata Pale Ale have?
Hop BroThis one combines citrus freshness with berries and lychee, then leaves a floral finish and dankness, very much in West Coast Brewing’s style.
MugiDank means that moist hop character, right? Suddenly you’re throwing out a word that sounds like real beer nerd talk!
Hop BroExactly, it’s the signal to enjoy vivid hop expression. It’s the kind of beer that makes you want to sit outside in Shibuya and drink with the breeze.
MugiThat definitely sounds like something that makes you want to have a drink at the outdoor seats! First No Ketchup, then Pinata, in that order for me!
New Arrivals
On May 12, 2026, CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP announced two beers as new arrivals from West Coast Brewing. Located on the 3rd floor of SAKURA Side, a 2-minute walk from the JR New South Exit of Shibuya Station, the shop is a liquor store carrying more than 100 kinds of craft beer from Japan and abroad. It also has four draft beers inside, and you can enjoy beer flights that are ideal for comparison tasting.
The beers introduced this time were “No Ketchup,” a collaboration with Hop Butcher, and “Pinata Pale Ale.” No Ketchup is said to layer tropical fruit character with bright orange and melon notes, unfolding a gentle sweetness and a flavor profile with depth. It has enough body to feel satisfying, while still being the kind of beer that draws you in through its layered aroma.
Meanwhile, Pinata Pale Ale combines citrus freshness with fruit character from berries and lychee, then leaves a floral finish and a dank impression. As a pale ale, it seems like an easy way to enjoy the vivid hop expression that is characteristic of West Coast Brewing.
The post also suggested heading to the outdoor seats on a day when both the sun and the breeze feel pleasant. There are chairs and tables around the shop, making it easy to enjoy a drink on the spot while choosing bottles. Of course, taking home the bottles you’re curious about is a good option, but it also sounds nice to compare multiple flavors with a flight and check out West Coast Brewing’s new releases right there on a Shibuya street corner.
