Kagiya Brewery Announces a Standard 3-Type, 6-Bottle Set for Mother's Day
Kagiya Brewery posted an announcement for a six-bottle set on Instagram for Mother's Day. On Isshushotend's product page, it is offered as a tasting set with two bottles each of PILS NO.1, MELLOW YELLOW IPA, and DOUBLE DECKER IPA, built around the brewery's core lineup as a Kawasaki-born brewery.
Kagiya Brewery, which operates a brewery in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a local brewery that also has directly managed stores in Musashi-Kosugi and Jiyugaoka. The brewery, which makes beer by hand and offers a wide range from year-round staples to limited releases, announced on Instagram, "5/10 Mother's Day six-bottle set..."
Looking at the listing on Isshushotend, this set combines two bottles each of PILS NO.1, MELLOW YELLOW IPA, and DOUBLE DECKER IPA for a total of six bottles. It is a balanced lineup that lets you enjoy three signature beers, making it easy to use both as a gift and as a tasting set at home. Gift wrapping and noshi are not available, but the price point is approachable, making it a good fit for casual Mother's Day gifting.
The clear focus on flavor is very much in line with Kagiya Brewery. MELLOW YELLOW IPA is a mellow hazy IPA made with five kinds of hops, with a soft aroma reminiscent of lemongrass. PILS NO.1 is a pilsner brewed with Maris Otter, an English malt, and its signature is a biscuit-like grain aroma. DOUBLE DECKER IPA is an 8% W-IPA with a strong malt and hop presence, offering thickness that brings to mind bread, toffee, and caramel.
Viewed as a Mother's Day set, the key feature is that it does not put flashy limited releases front and center, but instead delivers the personality of its regular beers in a thoughtful way. By including one light and crisp beer, one aromatic beer, and one full-bodied beer, it is easy to choose even as a gift when the recipient's preferences may differ. In a way that feels true to a Kawasaki brewery, it shows the strength of everyday use rooted in the local area.
