West Coast Brewing
"It all began with one Hop Dude – and a quest for fresh West Coast style brews.
The premise of West Coast Brewing is super simple. You can wait 3 months or more for a beer to be imported and handled in who knows what way, pay a bunch of money and be underwhelmed – or you can make it yourself, super fresh, the way you want it. Derrek (an architect by trade who came to Shizuoka from Seattle in 2003) in his travels home to visit would hit the scene in Seattle and LA and essentially got tired of having nothing even close in Japan.
West Coast Brewing brewed it's first batch in early June of 2019 – in a renovated formerly abandoned tuna processing plant on the Mochimune marina. 2 years and 100 releases later, WCB keeps pumping out hoppy goodies, with sales to all 47 prefectures in Japan as well as Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and now Singapore.
The quest for fresh West Coast style brews continues."
