Suntory Makes Its Beer Faster Than A Speeding Bullet
Spirits and beverage industry giant, Suntory, has released 15 new beer cans for their “The Premium Malt’s” – a German Pilsener style beer brewed in Osaka – that each feature a popular Shinkansen model bullet train that run on the nation’s extensive high-speed rail networks. Additionally, the cans will also feature well-known landscapes and tourist spots that can be found on each train’s local route.
The 11.8-ounce cans will be sold in exclusive dozen-packs in Japan for $26 beginning on July 19, 2016.
In addition to the 12-packs, Suntory will be releasing a number of special four-piece sets, available beginning July 26, 2016. These special sets will each contain four cans and feature the Hokkaido Shinkansen (“Hayabusa” H5 Series) [which also appears in the dozen set], the “0 Series” Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen and the rarely sighted “East i E926” and “Doctor Yellow” 923 model trains, which inspect the conditions of the track and overhead lines while traveling at full speed, using special on-board equipment.
