What kind of brewery is Setouchi Brewery?
Hop BroSetouchi Brewery, located in Matsushima-cho in Takamatsu, is a bit unusual because the brewer here used to be a pharmacist. Kohei Doi, that's his name.
MugiWhat? From pharmacist to beer brewer? That's quite a transformation!
Hop BroIt's a beer-making approach that uses a science background to design flavor by calculating controllable variables. And they've brewed more than 180 varieties so far.
Mugi180 kinds!? That curiosity is basically researcher level...
Hop BroThe standard "SETOUCHI IPA" is a crisp finish suited to Setouchi's warm climate, with pale malt aroma and fruity citrus hops. It uses German and British malt, and the brewing water comes from Takamatsu.
MugiSo Takamatsu's water is becoming beer. That means it tastes like the land, right?
Hop BroWhat's interesting is the "Kamatama Butter Udon Hazy IPA." It's a bold brew that could only come from udon country, made in collaboration with the brand UDON BREWING, with involvement from udon artisans.
MugiWhat is that! A fusion of craft beer and udon is such an idea that could only happen in Kagawa!
Hop BroThe taproom, "Riverside 351," is also unique. It's a joint taproom for three breweries, including Setouchi Brewery. You can taste beers from OHLOY BREWING and UDON BREWING in the same place. They have award wins at the Japan Great Beer Awards, and they actively contribute to society through beer, such as brewing a Weizen and donating part of the sales to a rescue cat cafe.
MugiBeing able to compare beers from three breweries in one place, and help cats just by drinking beer...! When I go to Takamatsu, I'm definitely stopping by!
