Three West Coast Brewing Beers Arrive at BeerO'clock Bottle Shop, Plus a New WCB x Inkhorn Release
Three West Coast Brewing beers have arrived at BeerO'clock Bottle Shop in Shindencho, Chuo Ward, Chiba City. In addition to a Sour DIPA, a West Coast IPA, and a Hazy Double IPA, a collaboration with Inkhorn Brewing is also on the shelves, making it a lineup you can enjoy both on-site and as bottles to take home.
Hop BroBeerO'clock Bottle Shop in Shindencho, Chuo Ward, Chiba City has new arrivals. Three West Coast Brewing beers are lined up, and since you can drink them there or take them home in bottles, this is a lineup that gives you a lot to play with today.
MugiWhoa! Being able to drink and take them home is the best! But with three beers, it's the kind of situation where the second you try to decide where to start, a meeting suddenly breaks out.
Hop BroFirst up is The Collective, a Sour DIPA at 8.0%. Raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry with roasted macadamia nuts make this a very well-designed beer where tartness and roasted character coexist.
MugiWhat is that! A beer that's sour and roasty? Isn't that like a committee meeting happening in your mouth? And berries plus nuts? At that point I can't tell whether it's dessert or beer anymore.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Sour DIPAs tend to bring out a yogurt-like and granola-like character, and beneath the sweet-tartness there's a roasted nuance. In other words, it's not just sour, it has depth.
MugiOhhh, next is Starwatcher. A West Coast IPA sounds like it's got a sharp, crisp face from the name alone!
Hop BroExactly. This is West Coast Brewing's first beer ever brewed, a flagship IPA built on Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. It has that classic shape, with dank pine and resin, citrus from orange and grapefruit, and even hints of berries and melon.
MugiDank?! When you say pine and resin, it sounds like you brought the whole forest over. And then mixing in citrus too? That's cheating, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the idea. Dank means a hop-derived aroma that's moist, grassy, and resinous. So the impression becomes something like citrus and forest, all at once. That's where the aroma direction suddenly tightens up.
MugiThen the last one is a collab! Super Fresh sounds energetic from the name alone! This is the one with Inkhorn Brewing, right?
Hop BroRight, it's a Hazy Double IPA from West Coast Brewing x Inkhorn Brewing. With 2026-harvest Nectaron as the star, plus Citra and Krush, it bursts with tropical notes like strawberry, grape, grapefruit, yellow peach, and peach nectar. It's lively before you even take a sip.
MugiWow, a three-way tasting sounds way too fun. Get surprised by the tart one, get sharpened by the West Coast one, then drift into the hazy one at the end. That's a total win.
Hop BroA place like BeerO'clock Bottle Shop, where you can both drink in-house and take bottles home, makes this kind of comparison really enjoyable. Start with The Collective, finish with Starwatcher, and end up smiling with Super Fresh, that's the flow I want today.
MugiDeal! I want to compare them right now, and I want to take the bottles home too! Just seeing these three makes it impossible to hold back!
Three new West Coast Brewing beers are now lined up at BeerO'clock Bottle Shop in Shindencho, Chuo Ward, Chiba City. In the post, they were introduced as "NEW ARRIVAL," and for a shop like this, where you can drink in-house and also take bottles home, it is a lineup worth comparing carefully before choosing.
The arrivals this time are The Collective, a Sour DIPA that layers tartness with roasted notes; Starwatcher, a West Coast IPA made with classic hops; and Super Fresh, a Hazy Double IPA in collaboration with Inkhorn Brewing. Because each beer has a clearly defined style direction, a side-by-side tasting should make the differences in the breweries' approaches easy to see.
