Setouchi Brewery Releases Gift Set Featuring NZ PALE ALE and Shironeko Weizen
Setouchi Brewery (Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture) announced a gift set combining NZ PALE ALE and SHIRONEKO WEIZEN. In addition to a set that comes with an original glass, a 6-bottle set that adds two standard beers was released at the same time, and early purchasers will receive a sheep sticker on a first-come, first-served basis.
Hop BroToday, Setouchi Brewery's gift set is the interesting one. It's built around NZ PALE ALE and SETOUCHI SHIRONEKO WEIZEN, with gifting thoughtfully considered too.
MugiWhat? The cat and sheep combination? That's too cute! It's beer, but the labels win me over first!
Hop BroAnd this time it comes with an original glass too. Sets like this need a little something that makes you go, 'Oh!' the moment you open them.
MugiOhhh! But if there's also a 6-bottle set, is it aimed at the serious fans too? Tasting it by myself sounds way too fun...
Hop BroExactly. Since it includes SETOUCHI IPA and LAGER in addition to NZ PALE ALE, the flavor range opens up a lot. It's a strong setup not just as a gift, but for yourself too.
MugiWait, what's Weizen? Banana aroma? Does it really smell like bananas?
Hop BroIt does. That's the aroma produced by Weizen yeast, and SETOUCHI SHIRONEKO WEIZEN also has the softness of wheat, making it smooth and easy to drink.
MugiAnd with a slight acidity that leaves a crisp finish, plus 5.5% alcohol, it sounds easy to enjoy! It feels like 'gentle, but genuinely tasty.'
Hop BroOn top of that, part of the sales is donated to Catloaf, a cat rescue cafe, which is another great point. You get to drink something delicious and feel warm inside too.
MugiWow, I want it even more now! A sheep sticker included is such a clever touch, and just looking at the labels would make the table feel lively!
Hop BroThen tonight it's settled: we have to do a tasting. Starting with NZ PALE ALE's tropical character and finishing softly with the white cat Weizen sounds perfect.
MugiAgreed! The fact that it's a gift but also something I'd want for myself is exactly the kind of problem I don't mind having. Now I just want to have a drink already!
Setouchi Brewery has launched a gift proposal centered on NZ PALE ALE and SETOUCHI SHIRONEKO WEIZEN. In an Instagram post, the brewery introduced a set that includes an original glass, along with a striking visual featuring sheep and cat labels side by side. It also announced a 6-bottle set that adds the standard SETOUCHI IPA and SETOUCHI LAGER to NZ PALE ALE and SHIRONEKO WEIZEN. A sheep sticker will be given to buyers on a first-come, first-served basis.
SETOUCHI SHIRONEKO WEIZEN is characterized by a fruity flavor with pronounced banana notes derived from Weizen yeast, and a smooth, soft mouthfeel. Its gentle texture from wheat malt is accented by a subtle acidity, and the finish is clean as well. It has an alcohol content of 5.5%, and part of the sales will be donated to Catloaf, a cat rescue cafe in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture.
Meanwhile, NZ PALE ALE is described in the post as having tropical aromas and soft fruitiness, and it is presented in a way that invites drinkers to compare it with SHIRONEKO WEIZEN. Based in Takamatsu, Kagawa, Setouchi Brewery has continued making beers that reflect the Seto Inland Sea's climate and seasonal feel, and since starting brewing in 2021, it has released a wide range of products from regular offerings to limited editions. This set is interesting not only for its flavors, but also for its emphasis on label design and the enjoyment of giving it as a gift.
