According to an announcement on Yotei Brewing's official blog, the brewery's craft beer can be chosen as a Niseko Town hometown tax donation gift.

Gift lineup


The main registered gifts fall into the following two categories:

- "Assorted sets" of 6 or 24 bottles
- Pale ale "A Greener World"

Because the number of batches brewed and the variety increase during the winter season, the lineup is likely to be more varied than usual, and the brewery says it will select from the freshest latest batches for shipment. Examples of the 6-can set include West Coast Lager, UNDRSTRY (Understory West Coast IPA), EXPDTN (Expedition Hazy IPA), MMNTM (Momentum Hazy IPA), and BTPCK (Bootpack Hazy IPA).

Where to apply and local context


The article says the gifts can be searched for as Niseko Town offerings on sites such as Furunavi, Furusato Choice, Rakuten Furusato Nozei, and Satofull.

Niseko Town is known worldwide as a snow resort, but it is also a small municipality with a population of just under 5,000. The brewery positions hometown tax donations as an option that helps support local issues such as forest conservation and environmental protection.
