Sakamichi Brewing Introduces WCB's New Can, "_vibe _machine"
Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo, introduced West Coast Brewing's canned product "_vibe _machine." It is a beer that layers raspberry and grapefruit fruitiness onto the lightness typical of a Berliner Weisse, and it is drawing attention along with its can design.
Hop BroA recommendation coming from Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa means West Coast Brewing's new can, "_vibe _machine," is here. Even as a canned beer, it already sounds like something that lifts your mood.
MugiWhoa! _vibe _machine sounds like a futuristic robot! And if Sakamichi Brewing is recommending it, that feels like a big statement from Tachikawa.
Hop BroWhat's inside is a Berliner Weisse, with an alcohol content of 3.5%. It's light and crisp in its sourness, so it's perfect for a hot day or as your first drink.
MugiBerliner Weisse? What's that? It sounds hard to say, and if it's sour, is it kind of like the beer version of lemon?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a light, sour style. It's a German style, and its charm is that it's not heavy and goes down smoothly. On top of that, it layers in raspberry and grapefruit, so the fruit character really comes through.
MugiOhhh! Raspberry and grapefruit sound cute and delicious just hearing them! It sounds sweet, but also sour, so I can't tell which it is!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The sweet-tart character is topped with a bright citrus aroma, so it's not just a fruit beer; it still has the crisp edge of a proper sour. And the can design is eye-catching too, so it's the kind of beer you reach for when you spot it on the shelf.
MugiIt's unfair when the can design is that strong! This is the kind of thing I would want to grab immediately if I saw it. I'm really glad Sakamichi Brewing shares new releases like this.
Hop BroExactly. Sakamichi Brewing runs a taproom in Tachikawa and also operates Sakamichi North. They don't just focus on their own brewing; they also highlight interesting cans, which is great because it expands drinkers' options.
MugiIt feels like a Western Tokyo beer guide, and I love that. Finding beers I don't know yet is exciting, and it makes me feel like I'm traveling a little even before I drink.
Hop BroThen next time, let's open a chilled 3.5% bottle and drink while feeling Tachikawa's breeze. It's light, but still satisfying, so this is definitely one you want to share.
MugiAgreed! A light, crisp sour beer is perfect for a toast today. I can't wait to chase that raspberry sweet-tartness!
