WITCH CRAFT Market, a beer pub in Ozu, Kumamoto, announced on Instagram that it has received Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen Hakuhou ver. The shop also has Peach Weizen Wasei ver. on tap, making a side-by-side tasting possible.

Today's topic is that WITCH CRAFT Market in Kumamoto just got Minoh Beer's "Peach Weizen Hakuto ver.," and this is a head-to-head tasting if I've ever seen one.

What! You can drink Peach Weizen Hakuto ver. at WITCH CRAFT Market? The name alone already feels juicy.
Hop Bro
And "Peach Weizen Wase ver." is already on tap, so you can do a same-series comparison right there. That's a reward course for beer nerds.
Mugi
Whoa! So "Wase" and "Hakuto" are different peach varieties? Or are those secret special moves?
Hop Bro
That's the key. Wase is an early-season peach, while Hakuto tends to give a riper impression, so you can follow a gradient of fruitiness across the series.
Mugi
Okay, that sounded very critic-mode. But what even is a weizen? Is that the style? Please tell me it's not a spell.
Hop Bro
Weizen is a German-style wheat beer, so it usually has a soft, smooth feel. The real star in this case is the weizen yeast.
Mugi
What is that! Weizen yeast sounds like a boss monster that escaped from a lab.
Hop Bro
Basically, it's the yeast that adds banana- and clove-like aromas without stepping on the peach. And this year's Wase version is said to have stronger peach character than usual, so the contrast with Hakuto should be easy to catch.
Mugi
Ohhh, so if you check WITCH CRAFT Market's Instagram first, it's harder to miss the window. That's dangerously convenient.
Hop Bro
Exactly. Since guest taps rotate quickly there, having both versions on together right now is a big deal. Chasing peach season through a glass makes me want a pint immediately.
Mugi
Then it's settled! I want a Peach Weizen showdown and a full debate over Team Wase versus Team Hakuto. Now I really want to drink one!
