MugiWhoa, Summertime Clothes sounds stylish already! I thought it was about clothes, not beer. What is that!
Hop BroThe beer inside is Mingel's Wit, so it's a witbier-style beer. It's 5% ABV, and it's a white beer that's easy to drink on hot days.
MugiWitbier means white beer, right? But even though it's white, why does it still feel like a real beer!
Hop BroIt's often made with wheat as well as barley, and the yeast-derived aroma comes through softly too. This one keeps the wit yeast aroma from getting too strong, and the key is that the base stays light and airy.
MugiOhhh! Adding a little yuzu juice and spice on top sounds so refreshing. I love that!
Hop BroWhat's good is that they don't push it too hard. They round out the acidity and spice gently and steer it toward something that quenches your thirst, which feels very Mingel.
MugiWow, so it's not the kind that blasts big aromas at you, but a beer that drinks refreshing and light! That sounds perfect for a summer afternoon!
Hop BroExactly. And the fact that the name comes from Animal Collective's song “Summertime Clothes” is very Mingel too. It's the kind of detail that tickles music lovers as well.
MugiJust the fact that they make both bread and beer in Mashiko is already great, and now they've made something that's perfect for the road into summer! I want to drink it right now!
Hop BroIt works both with food and on its own, and it's great as a reward for your throat. All right, let's have a drink with Mingel's Summertime Clothes tonight.
The Mashiko, Tochigi brewery Mingel has unveiled a new beer, Summertime Clothes, on Instagram. In the post, it is introduced as “Mingel's Beer #23”; the style is listed as “Mingel's Wit”, and the ABV is 5%.
According to the brewery, this beer is a “simple wit beer.” Built on the gentle aroma of wit yeast that is not overpowering, it is lightly accented with yuzu juice and spices, softening the acidity and spiciness into a smooth profile. The finished impression is “refreshing and light.” It is positioned as a Mingel-style white beer for quenching your thirst on hot days.
The name has an interesting backstory as well. The post reveals that the beer's name was taken from “Summertime Clothes,” a song by the 2000s US alternative band Animal Collective. The way Mingel weaves a musical reference into the naming, not just the beer itself, shows the brewery's playful spirit.
Mingel is known as a brewery rooted in the local culture of Mashiko, making both beer and bread. This new release, Summertime Clothes, is not a beer that aims to impress through intensity; instead, it draws drinkers in with the easygoing character of a wit beer and the nuance of yuzu. It seems well suited to the season moving toward summer, whether paired with food or enjoyed slowly on its own.
