Minty Small-Batch Beers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sapporo Created a Limited-Edition Adult Choco Mint Beer

— January 18, 2021 — Lifestyle
As part of its Hoppin’ Garage project, Sapporo created an Adult Choco Mint beer that offers a refreshing taste for enjoying after a meal. The creamy beer is perfect for enjoying on its own or pairing with a scoop of ice cream to create a decadent float dessert.

Only a limited number of the Adult Choco Mint beer cans will be produced, as the Hoppin’ Garage project is all about collecting ideas from the public and turning them into tangible products in small batches. The idea for this particular brew came from beer expert Arisa Koga, who is known for sharing creative pairings and reviews on social media. The sweet and refreshing brew is packaged in a colorful, dessert-like can that expresses the unique flavor and textures of the beer.
Trend Themes
1. Small-batch Beer - Craft breweries can experiment with small-batch beers that incorporate unexpected flavors to cater to niche markets.
