Kishiwada Beer Releases a Six-Bottle Set Featuring Its Three Standard Beers and Pineapple Aromatic
Kishiwada Beer, based in Kishiwada City, Osaka, has prepared a six-bottle set combining its standard "Teikko," "Kuroteikko," and "Shiroteikko" beers with three bottles of the newly revamped "Pineapple Aromatic." The set lets you enjoy a side-by-side tasting of a beer that balances pineapple aroma with IPA-like bitterness.
Hop BroMugi-chan, Kishiwada Beer has released a six-bottle set. It's a tasting set with one each of Teikko, Kuroteikko, and Shiroteikko, plus three bottles of Pineapple Aromatic, so it's very straightforward.
MugiWait, three bottles of Pineapple Aromatic!? Three bottles instead of one? They're really pushing it!
Hop BroExactly. And it's the power-up version of the re-release, and they apparently ran the pineapple through a juicer to bring out its aroma, sweetness, and umami.
MugiA juicer? Is that different from just tossing fruit straight into beer? I'm curious how they bring out the aroma!
Hop BroBasically, it's the idea of carefully extracting the fruit character before brewing. Pineapple Aromatic is a flavor IPA, designed so hop bitterness and tropical sweetness come through in sequence.
MugiWow, it's interesting that it can taste sweet even though it has IPA bitterness! At 6%, it sounds like it has some heft too.
Hop BroExactly. And Kishiwada Beer is a brewery with ironworks roots, brewing on its own equipment by leveraging the processing technology of Hokkai Iron Works.
MugiThat's so cool! The standard Teikko, Kuroteikko, and Shiroteikko even sound like they have real backbone just from the names!
Hop BroTeikko is a wheat ale, Kuroteikko is a brown porter, and Shiroteikko is a light ale, so the flavor range is clear. That's what makes the side-by-side tasting so interesting.
MugiFor 3,780 yen, that set makes me want to toast in Kishiwada today! This is the kind of tasting set that calls for a drinking party!

A local brewery that makes use of ironworks technology
Kishiwada Beer is a brewery that began brewing with equipment it designed and manufactured in-house, making use of the processing technology that Hokkai Iron Works has cultivated in Kishiwada. Its flagship beers, "Teikko," a wheat ale, "Kuroteikko," a brown porter, and "Shiroteikko," a light ale, each have clear stylistic differences. All are 330 ml and require refrigeration, and when you taste them side by side, the differences in how the malt is used and how the hops are designed become easier to see.
This set brings together a fruity new release and the stable core of the lineup, clearly conveying Kishiwada Beer's current position. Its local-brewery background and the accumulation of improvements reflecting drinkers' feedback are directly reflected in the product.
