MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari Opens Three New Taps from Ise Kadoya, WCB, and Smog City
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari added three new taps featuring Ise Kadoya Beer, West Coast Brewing, and Smog City. The pub also prepared smoked nuts to pair with the fresh lineup.
Hop BroMakuhari has a good one today: three fresh taps at MIHAMA BASE. Isekadoya, West Coast Brewing, and Smog City all landed at once, which is a pretty serious lineup.
MugiWhat! Three kegs opening together sounds like a festival! I’d be frozen at the counter trying to pick one in the first three seconds.
Hop BroFirst up is Isekadoya’s Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet. It’s a DDH Hazy IPA built around the new hop Vera, with bright guava, passion fruit, and mango vibes all over it.
MugiHold on, DDH Hazy IPA sounds like a spell. Do I need to chant before I can order it?
Hop BroNo chanting required. It basically means extra-loaded hop aroma in a hazy IPA, so it comes out soft, juicy, and super expressive. Even if the term sounds nerdy, the flavor just screams tropical fruit.
MugiOhhh, so big tropical fruit vibes with a cute name but serious flavor. I kind of want to say nyaon and grab the glass immediately.
Hop BroThen there’s West Coast Brewing’s Blazing Buds 2026. It’s an Amber IPA with caramel and toffee notes, backed by a firm bitterness, and it nods to Modern Times Beer’s Blazing World.
MugiNo way, sweet-meets-bitter is such a trap. It sounds like it lures you in like dessert, then the IPA salutes and snaps you back to attention.
Hop BroAnd Smog City’s Amarilla Gorilla IPA pushes mango, papaya, and citrus up front, while the malt keeps it nicely drinkable. Add the smoked nuts they prepped last night, plus the takeaway option, and that’s a very MIHAMA BASE move.
MugiI’m done for, because smoked nuts and three pours is already playing in my head. Drink there slowly or take some home for the afterglow, either way I absolutely want this now.

Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet" is a DDH Hazy IPA built around the new hop variety Vera. The beer leans into bright tropical notes such as guava, passion fruit, and mango, with a soft and juicy mouthfeel. West Coast Brewing’s "Blazing Buds 2026" is an Amber IPA created as a tribute to Modern Times Beer’s "Blazing World"; it brings caramel and toffee-like depth together with a firm bitterness. Smog City’s "Amarilla Gorilla IPA" highlights mango, papaya, and citrus aromas, while the malt backbone keeps it highly drinkable.
The shop also prepared smoked nuts to pair with the beers, making it a natural stop for a casual tasting session. MIHAMA BASE also offers takeout beer, so guests can enjoy the tap selection either on site or to go.
The full tap list for the day also included KIRIN/HEARTLAND, Fuller’s/London Pride, 8 Bit Brewing/Dark Forces, NEKOBEER/CLEARNEKO LIQUID はいぱー, and Harland/Superphonic. In other words, the bar covered everything from familiar classics to hop-forward styles.
