The fruit beer "Pineapple Ale" prepared with golden pine will be released by Sankt Gallen on April 23. Sold only in the summer until the end of September.

Sankt Gallen pineapple ale

Uses golden pine grown at a Del Monte farm and hand-cut at a factory in Yokohama. In Del Monte, the hand-cutting line that does not give stress to the fruit is the center, and it can be used as a raw material for beer without loss in juice and aroma.


The golden pineapple used for one preparation is about 600 kg. By adding it to the wort before the beer is fermented and fermenting the sugar content of the fruit and wort together, even the foam is made into a juicy pineapple-flavored beer.


From this year, the base beer has been renewed from "American Pale Ale" to "Brut IPA". Brut IPA is a new beer style inspired by dry champagne, characterized by a strong hop flavor, yet very dry and light bitterness.


The style that makes use of the richness of malt has been changed to a style that has been intentionally scraped off to further enhance the juiciness of the pineapple.

Alcohol content is 5%. The estimated price is 460 yen (excluding tax) with a bottle of 330 ml. It is available at the company's online shop, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, Odakyu Department Store Shinjuku, and Halc Food.
