Hop BroSpring news! Setouchi Brewery in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture is offering a three-day-only "Hanami Set" at RIVERSIDE 351 from March 20 to 22.
MugiWhoa! Is a hanami set basically a picnic box for beer?!
Hop BroExactly. It includes four bottles: SAKURA HAZY IPA -Early Bloom-, SAKURA HAZY IPA -Full Bloom-, SAISON DE MIMOSA, and GRAPEFUL IPA. It also comes with two plastic cups, two snack packs, and two hand towels.
MugiWhat is that! It's totally a set made for drinking outside! But what's the difference between Early and Full in the same SAKURA HAZY IPA?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's probably designed around the image of bud to full bloom, with changes in how the hop aroma comes across and in the body. A so-called gradient design for the drinking experience.
MugiGradient design?! We just jumped into science class! Say it in a way I can understand!
Hop BroSimply put, one is light and spring-breezy, while the other feels like the aroma is in full bloom. And SAISON DE MIMOSA should have the spicy character from saison yeast, making it easy to pair with food.
MugiOhhh! I thought mimosa was just the name of a flower, but you can use beer to bring out a spring vibe too. GRAPEFUL IPA sounds aromatic just from the name!
Hop BroYeah, it sounds like an IPA aiming for citrusy nuances. Also, the Instagram post reminded people to check the rules for bringing alcohol into each hanami venue, and to confirm whether the details might change.
MugiGot it! Let's follow the rules and compare the four spring beers! Just thinking about it is making my throat dry already!
Hop BroSince it's a brewery where you can also enjoy draft beer at the taproom on weekends, you'd want to taste the local atmosphere too. All right, let's have a pre-hanami practice round with a drink first!
On Setouchi Brewery's official Instagram, a limited spring set was announced as "". The offer is for three days, from Friday, March 20 to Sunday, March 22, and the venue is the brewery's taproom and shop, "RIVERSIDE 351."
