CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP Highlights West Coast Brewing’s harmonic DREAMS
CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP in Shibuya introduced West Coast Brewing’s 8.0% harmonic DREAMS. The beer pub offers more than 100 bottles and four draft beers, making it a strong stop for guest beers and comparison drinking.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about harmonic DREAMS 8.0% at CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP in Shibuya. It is a guest IPA from West Coast Brewing.
MugiWhat! Two minutes from Shibuya Station and I can get that? And it is the kind of place where you can try it first?
Hop BroExactly. CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP has over 100 bottles plus four draft taps, so you can compare beers before deciding what to drink or take home.
MugiWhoa! Four draft options is either a dream come true or a direct attack on my inability to choose!
Hop BroThis one is a West Coast IPA, so you get grapefruit and orange-like citrus, then dank edges, plus woody and grassy notes layered on top.
MugiHold on, what does dank character even mean? That makes the beer sound like it has dramatic lighting!
Hop BroIn beer terms, dank aroma means a bold hop expression. Think resinous, green, punchy, and very much a wow-this-is-hoppy kind of smell.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! If that comes with bright citrus notes, it sounds like more than just bitterness, it sounds super drinkable.
Hop BroAnd this is apparently the tenth release, which makes it even more tempting if you want that full 8.0% body with layered hop complexity.
MugiI am fully in take me to Shibuya mode now! I want to do a tasting flight, drink harmonic DREAMS, and bring a bottle home too!
CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP is a beer pub on the 3rd floor of SAKURA Side in Shibuya, about a two-minute walk from JR Shibuya Station’s New South Exit. The shop carries more than 100 craft beers from Japan and abroad, and also pours four draft beers inside the venue. With tables and chairs around the shop, it is also easy to enjoy a drink outdoors when the weather is good.
In an Instagram post dated August 31, the shop introduced West Coast Brewing (@wcbshizuoka) and its “harmonic DREAMS,” an 8.0% beer described as the 10th release in the series. The beer is said to bring bright citrus notes reminiscent of grapefruit and orange, along with a dank edge and woody, grassy nuances. It reads as a hop-forward IPA with plenty of depth and complexity.
That kind of guest-beer update fits CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP well. The venue is set up for both on-site drinking and bottle shopping, so visitors can compare drafts, pick up bottles to go, and keep up with limited releases in one stop.
