On March 25, 2026, Hokkaido's Hop Kotan Brewing announced on Instagram an update to its web shop operations.

The selectable lineup includes 18 varieties, including regular offerings.
Hop BroToday's hot update from Hokkaido's Hop Kotan Brewing is that they completely revamped their web shop specs on March 25.
MugiWait, they finally added a 3-bottle set!? That's perfect for people who just want to try a little!
Hop BroExactly. "HOP KOTAN'S Choice" used to come only in a 6-bottle set, but now you can choose a 3-bottle box with three new releases or three of the same label.
MugiNice! And it's easy to use as a gift, too. I finally have an excuse to spread the word to my friends!
Hop BroOn top of that, the 6-bottle set now allows multiple set purchases. It's a solid improvement that should appeal to bulk buyers, too.
MugiSeriously? So if I want them packed together, I just write it in the remarks field? That sounds like a spell!
Hop BroYeah, that's exactly right. It's called co-packing in shipping ops, but basically it just means telling them to group the boxes together.
MugiI get it! And now there are 18 varieties to choose from, which is going to make me freeze up in front of the cart!
Hop BroThat's why the "new release set" path is smart for indecisive people. That's the classic tasting lineup style.
MugiIt's great that they even set the update schedule! If it updates every Saturday, that gives me a fixed weekend treat!
Hop BroWhen a Hokkaido brewery improves operations this much, your drink-for-tonight choice is basically already decided.
MugiAll right, I'll start with three bottles and level up to six next time! First, let's go have a practice toast!
Hokkaido craft brewery Hop Kotan Brewing (HOP KOTAN BREWING) announced changes to its online sales setup in an official Instagram post titled "＼WEB SHOPのお知らせ／".
The main point this time is the expanded options for "HOP KOTAN'S Choice" on the web shop. According to the post, a 3-bottle set has now been added to the product, which had previously been sold only as a 6-bottle set. You can choose three different new releases, or pick the same label three times, and because it is shipped in a box for three bottles, it is designed to be easy to use as a gift as well.
In addition, the purchase conditions for the 6-bottle set have also changed. Previously, only one set could be ordered per purchase, but now multiple sets can be purchased. If you would like multiple purchases to be packed together in one box, they ask that you note that in the remarks field when purchasing.
In terms of the lineup, they say they continue to add new releases every week, and the current selection has grown to 18 varieties including regular offerings. If you are unsure what to choose, they recommend the "new release set," providing an easy path for people who want to regularly try new labels.
Also, the post says the web shop is updated every Saturday. Hop Kotan Brewing is a brewery based in Hokkaido that brews locally and has continuously shared craft beer from the region. This change looks like a practical update that addresses both small-quantity purchases and bulk-buying needs.
