Kamakura Beer opens Father’s Day preorders for West Coast IPA sets
Kamakura Beer Brewing has started taking preorders for its Father’s Day limited beer, Father Ko Koko Beer, a West Coast IPA. The lineup includes 3-, 5-, and 12-bottle sets, with shipments starting on June 10.
Hop BroPerfect Father’s Day news just landed: Kamakura Beer has opened reservations for Chichi Koko Mugishu.
MugiWait, what! The name alone screams Father’s Day special. That is already on the gift list!
Hop BroAnd the beer itself is legit. It is a West Coast IPA, a classic crisp and bitter IPA brewed with just malt and hops.
MugiWhat is that even! Does West Coast IPA mean it only works if you drink it by the ocean?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It basically means a dry finish with very little sweetness, so the hop bitterness and aroma come through clean and sharp.
MugiWhoa! But the article said dry hopping, and my brain immediately filed that under chemistry class!
Hop BroIt just means adding hops during or after fermentation to boost aroma. This one uses double the usual hops, giving it a fresh grassy note more than a citrusy one.
MugiGrassy sounds scary for one second, but now I am curious. Is that like a grown-up aroma? And does it still bring the bitterness?
Hop BroOh, definitely. It is a 6.0% IPA with real bite, but the dry finish keeps it from getting tiring. They also offer refrigerated shipping and pickup at the brewery shop.
MugiThat is so practical! In the online shop you can choose 3, 5, or 12 bottles, and the 5-bottle set even comes in a gift box, right?
Hop BroExactly. Kamakura Beer is the only brewery in Kamakura, so the local angle really lands. With shipping from June 10, it lines up neatly for Father’s Day, and honestly I want to open one first.
MugiAnd they are even preparing a set with Kamakura ham? That is just unfair. This totally ends with we want one too.
Kamakura Beer Brewing announced on Instagram on June 4 that it has opened preorders for its Father’s Day beer, "Father Ko Koko Beer" (a West Coast IPA). The brewery is offering three set sizes through its online shop: a 3-bottle set, a 5-bottle gift-box set, and a 12-bottle home-stock set. Shipments begin sequentially on June 10, and Father’s Day delivery is available. Factory pickup is also supported.
The beer follows a classic malt-and-hop recipe. According to the brewery, it uses twice its usual hop load, then dry-hops the beer to build a fresh, grassy aroma and firm bitterness rather than a citrus-forward profile. At 6.0% ABV, it is designed to finish dry and stay drinkable rather than sweet.
Key details:
- Product: Father Ko Koko Beer
- Style: West Coast IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Sets: 3-bottle, 5-bottle gift box, 12-bottle home-stock
- Shipping: Chilled delivery
Kamakura Beer is based in Kamakura, Kanagawa, and describes itself as a brewery born and raised in Kamakura. As the city’s only brewery, it has long positioned its beers as local gifts and food-friendly table companions. This year’s Father’s Day release continues that approach, with a Kamakura Ham Tomioka set also in preparation.
