SETOUCHI BEER Releases SETOUCHI MINT GOSE
SETOUCHI BEER has released SETOUCHI MINT GOSE, a seasonal Contemporary Gose built around mint and Kagawa salt. The beer is designed to balance acidity, salinity, and a cool mint finish for warm-weather drinking.
Hop BroI want to start with Setouchi Brewery and its new summer release, SETOUCHI MINT GOSE. The name alone already feels cold.
MugiWait, mint and salt in beer? That sounds like refreshment and snack time shook hands.
Hop BroThat beer is SETOUCHI MINT GOSE, a Contemporary Gose at 5.0% ABV. It sounds unusual, but it's built to drink easy in hot weather.
MugiOkay, but what is Gose? It sounds like a spell and my brain is already fizzing.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's tart with a saline edge. Gose is a traditional German style, and Contemporary Gose is the modern remix.
MugiAnd the article says mint goes in twice? Even herbal tea doesn't commit that hard!
Hop BroThat's the clever part. Mint is added during the brew and after fermentation, so you get layered freshness, while salt from Kagawa sharpens the tartness.
MugiAnd some of the mint is grown by the brewery team? That suddenly makes it feel extra local and weirdly romantic.
Hop BroThe base matters too: Pilsner malt and wheat keep the mouthfeel smooth. This isn't toothpaste chaos; it's light, focused, and properly beer.
MugiI like that. A Takamatsu brewery handling planning, brewing, and shipping feels like local character in a glass. So where do we get it?
Hop BroIt's sold at Riverside 351 and the online store. It's 800 yen tax-included, best-by February 2027, and I want one before summer gets any hotter.
MugiJust hearing that gave me summer in my mouth. Mint on the finish, a crisp salty snap, and now I totally want a glass.
SETOUCHI BEER, based in Takamatsu, Kagawa, has released SETOUCHI MINT GOSE. The beer is a Contemporary Gose at 5.0% ABV, priced at JPY 800, with a best-before date of February 2027.
The brewery says some of the mint used in the beer was grown by its own team, while salt from Kagawa Prefecture helps give the beer a strong sense of place. Mint is added in two stages, during the boil and again after fermentation, creating a layered aroma and a crisp, cooling finish. A base of pilsner malt and wheat gives the beer a smooth mouthfeel, while the acidity and mineral character keep the profile bright and structured.
SETOUCHI BEER operates from a brewery in Takamatsu and handles planning, brewing, packaging, and shipping in-house. That seasonal, place-driven approach is central to its identity, and SETOUCHI MINT GOSE fits neatly into it. The beer is available through the brewery's bottle shop, Riverside 351, and its online store.
