West Coast Brewing Opens Applications for Shizuoka City Furusato Tax 2026 Subscription Set
Shizuoka City's craft brewery West Coast Brewing (WCB) has begun accepting applications for the 2026 edition of its annual furusato tax return gift, the "WCB Subscription Set." Three-month and six-month recurring delivery plans are available, and a curated selection centered on new releases will start arriving sequentially from the month after application.
Hop BroBreaking news: West Coast Brewing (WCB) in Shizuoka started accepting applications on March 10 for the WCB Subscription Set under "Shizuoka City Furusato Tax 2026."
MugiWhat! WCB beer delivered as a subscription? That's basically a monthly reward!
Hop BroThe 3-month plan lets you get 4 varieties each month, while the 6-month plan lets you choose either 4 bottles (4 varieties) or 8 bottles (8 varieties) per month. And shipping starts from the month after you apply.
MugiOhhh! But can I choose the beers? I want my favorite label on endless repeat!
Hop BroYou can't choose specific labels. But that's part of the appeal: you get a mix of the latest new releases. It's basically a "surprise box until you open it," centered on WCB's signature hop character.
MugiHop character? What does that even mean? Do hops have personalities? Like extrovert or introvert?
Hop BroNice one! Here it means the aroma and flavor profile. Think citrusy, piney, tropical, and so on. WCB focuses on American styles, and they're especially good at bringing out the aroma in IPA-style beers.
MugiThat sounds so fun! It's like pulling your "favorite hop of the month" from a gacha every time!
Hop BroApplications are also open through Rakuten Furusato Nozei, Furusato Choice, Furunavi, JRE MALL, and the ANA and JAL furusato tax platforms. The deadline is March 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m., and it ends once it's sold out.
MugiBeing able to support a Shizuoka brewery and drink it every month is amazing... All right, now I want to toast tonight in full WCB mode!
Hop BroExactly. Let's drink the next one together with the excitement of not knowing what's coming. My throat is already fully on standby for WCB!
