Craftbeer Sloth House in Tsurumachi lists four West Coast Brewing guest beers
Craftbeer Sloth House in Tsurumachi, Yokohama, has added four West Coast Brewing guest beers to the lineup. The selection spans Hazy Double IPA and American Pale Ale, with clear hop-driven differences across each pour.
Hop BroToday’s Sloth House drop is a big one. Craftbeer Sloth House in Yokohama’s Tarumachi area just lined up four guest beers from West Coast Brewing, and it’s basically a perfect hop comparison set.
MugiWait, four at once? That sounds less like a beer pub and more like a final exam for hop fans. What showed up?
Hop BroFirst up is Hop Legends. It’s a collab between West Coast Brewing and Oni Densetsu, and the style is Hazy Double IPA. You get pineapple, mango, orange, berry, and even a grassy bitterness on top.
MugiWhoa, Hazy Double IPA already sounds intense. Is it bitter? Is it juicy? That title alone is doing way too much!
Hop BroThat’s where what hazy means helps. It usually means cloudy, soft, and super aromatic, while Double IPA means more body and more strength. So think tropical, bigger, and louder in a good way.
Hop BroThen there’s Deluxe with QDH. It’s a QDH Hazy Double IPA, dry-hopped four times, with Mosaic-driven mango, berry, and peach-like sweetness packed into a seriously dense aroma.
MugiHold on, what is QDH? A beer term or a robot code name? And four rounds of dry hopping sounds like those hops need overtime pay.
Hop BroBasically it means four rounds of hopping. Brewers add hops during or after fermentation to boost aroma without pushing bitterness too hard, so the nose gets huge while the sip stays smooth.
Hop BroFor contrast, Beach Ball Time is an American Pale Ale. It opens with grapefruit and orange, then moves into berry and tropical fruit, and finishes with a piney, herbal tail that gives it real structure.
MugiOkay, from citrus to pine is a fun range. If you drink that between the hazy heavy hitters, you’d really notice the differences. My mouth is already taking notes.
Hop BroAnd then there’s Dr. Dankness. It’s another Hazy Double IPA with mango, pineapple, peach, and melon layered together, plus a silky, rounded finish. With all four on tap, West Coast Brewing’s hop character becomes really easy to track, and now I want one too.
MugiThis is full-on WCB in Tarumachi. I want to start with Hop Legends, reset with Beach Ball Time, and finish on Dr. Dankness. Now I seriously want to run to Sloth House and order the whole lineup.
