Sankt Gallen Brewery begins shipping summer draft-only limited editions 'Suika Wheat' and 'Green Bullet HAZY'
Sankt Gallen Brewery announced on Instagram that it has started shipping its summer draft-only beers, 'Suika Wheat' and 'Green Bullet HAZY,' to beer bars. Because production volume is limited this year, there will be no bottle sales, and the brewery also said the beers can be taken home from its directly operated taproom.
Hop BroSankt Gallen is really moving with its draft-only summer beers. A two-beer lineup, "Suika Wheat" and "Green Bullet HAZY" - this is the kind of thing you want to check out before it gets too hot.
MugiWhat! Does Suika Wheat actually have watermelon in it? It sounds kind of juice-like, and I'm worried whether it even looks like beer!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. It's a wheat ale aimed at a watermelon-like flavor, so it brings to mind a fruity character while still drinking light and easy. The softness from the wheat makes it a great fit for the start of summer.
MugiOhh! But does the HAZY in Green Bullet HAZY mean it's cloudy? It suddenly sounds like a scary name!
Hop BroIn simple terms, HAZY means a hazy IPA. It often brings the hop aroma forward while softening the bitterness, and this one really pushes the hops' character to the front.
MugiWhat? So it's all about hop aroma, with citrusy and tropical notes coming through? That sounds like the kind of beer that would instantly get you hyped the moment you take a sip!
Hop BroExactly. And the key point here is that shipping to beer bars has started. It sounds like tank washing and keg shipping are overlapping between brewing sessions, so the brewery must be incredibly busy.
MugiWow, the place must be a whirlwind! And it said no bottle sales, which is rough if you can't drink it at home!
Hop BroThere are no bottle sales this year because of production volume, but the directly operated taproom near the north exit of Hon-Atsugi Station offers takeout in crowlers or bring-your-own growlers. In other words, you can drink it there or take it home - the options are there.
MugiI see! If I can do a crowler takeout, I'd want to stop by after work. And Sankt Gallen always feels strong when it comes to seasonal limited releases!
Hop BroThat's exactly it. These are beers you'd want to enjoy for the freshness of draft beer as a summer suggestion that feels true to an Atsugi brewery.
MugiAll right, let's go taste that draft freshness! Cool off with Suika Wheat, get hit by the hops in Green Bullet HAZY, and then finish with a toast!
Sankt Gallen Brewery, based in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, shared an update on Instagram on May 28 about its limited summer beers. The post showed how the brewery is busy with tank washing and keg shipping in between brewing sessions.
The two beers now beginning shipment are "Suika Wheat", which highlights a watermelon-like flavor, and "Green Bullet HAZY", which puts the character of hops front and center. Both are draft-only limited beers available only for this season, and shipments to beer bars have now begun.
The post also made clear that there will be no bottle sales this year because production volume is not high. On the other hand, the brewery's directly operated taproom near the north exit of Hon-Atsugi Station offers takeout via crowlers or bring-your-own growlers. In other words, it has created a way to enjoy the beers not only in the shop but also at home.
Sankt Gallen is a craft beer producer based in Atsugi City and has long created many seasonal limited releases. These two labels, arriving just before the heat really ramps up, are another summer-leaning proposal typical of the brewery. If you spot them at the shop or at a retailer, it is worth tasting them with an eye toward the freshness that only draft beer can offer.
