Floral Beer-Flavoring Kits

Kirin’s Beer Kit Transforms Brews with a Seasonal Flavoring Set

— February 26, 2016 — Lifestyle
In addition to producing a special-edition Ichiban Shibori lager in cherry blossom packaging, Kirin is releasing a special beer kit.

This beer kit features a seasonal flavoring set and a "aroma beer presser," which are used together to enhance the taste of a beer. With these items, customers are able to place a flavoring packet into the beer and in the style of a French press, squeeze the contents of the flavoring bag to create a fragrant and flavorful new beer.

While this is part of a promotion from Kirin that's specifically tied to the spring season and the arrival of Japanese cherry blossoms, the seasonal flavoring sets could be completely transformed to suit any kind of season, special holiday or event.
