Hop BroToday's topic, Setouchi Brewery's post Drink Beer, Save Cats. is seriously hot.
MugiWait, what! Drinking beer and helping cats? Is that really a thing?!
Hop BroIt is. It was posted on Instagram on March 16, 2026, and it clearly says that a portion of sales will be donated.
MugiWhoa! So what kind of beer is it? I'm curious about the style!
Hop BroThis time, Setouchi Brewery's beer is a Weizen with 5.5% ABV, with the softness of wheat malt at its core.
MugiWhat is that! When they say "Weizen yeast," it feels so much like a science class!
Hop BroThe thing is, Weizen yeast is a yeast that tends to produce banana-like aromas; in technical terms, that's from esters.
MugiOh wow, suddenly it sounds delicious! And with a slight acidity and a crisp finish, this is definitely a gulp-it-down beer!
Hop BroExactly. If you drink it a little warmer, the aroma really opens up and it's amazing, and the donation recipient is Catloaf, a rescue cat cafe in Takamatsu.
MugiHaving beer time turn directly into support feels like a cycle of kindness... I love that!
Hop BroSetouchi Brewery is a brand rooted in the region, and since it also has a TAPROOM & SHOP, I want to go toast there in person.
MugiIt's decided! Tonight, let's go drink some Weizen with cats in mind!
