■Barrel-aged plum wine made by upcycling Ross Beer
Off Trail – Azeotrope,” launched in October 2021, is a crossover brand of beer and spirits that challenges to create innovative spirits and liqueurs by utilizing the fermentation and barrel aging (aging in wooden barrels) know-how cultivated in beer making. The brand is a crossover of beer and spirits.
Last year, the brand’s first plum wine, “Koshu Wine Barrel-Aged Plum Wine,” which was made by soaking plums from Kosuge Village in Yamanashi Prefecture, where the brewery is located, in the original spirits distilled from Ross beer, was sold out in a limited number on the same day. Due to the popularity of this product, we will again sell upcycled barrel-aged plum wine made with plums from Kosuge Village this year.

■ Mellow and complex aroma from Kosuge-mura plums and barrel aging
Yoinotsuki – Kosuge-mura Umeshu 2023, released last year, has been aged in oak barrels for one year and three months. The aging process has mellowed the flavor and given it a more complex taste, with a woody aroma and astringency derived from the oak barrels.
The main botanical is the Taiwanese spice ma gao, the same as last year. The rich plum aroma is followed by citrus and a unique coolness, and the sweetness of the malt mellows the aftertaste, creating a product that offers a variety of expressions in a single glass.

Off Trail -Azeotrope Evening Moon Kosuge Village Umeshu 2024″will be sold at Kosuge Village “Roadside Station Kosuge” and at restaurants and sake stores in and outside of the prefecture.

What is Off Trail – Azeotrope?
Off Trail – Azeotrope was born in October 2021 as a craft spirits brand that crosses over between beer and spirits. As a derivative brand of Off Trail, an advanced beer brewing project that utilizes microorganisms and barrel aging methods, Azeotrope is taking on the challenge of creating innovative spirits, liqueurs, and other products. Focusing on Geneva-style spirits, in which malt-derived spirits are barrel-aged, the brand aims to bring a new wind to the spirits realm by utilizing the fermentation and barrel-aging know-how cultivated in the beer-making process. Azeotrope” refers to the phenomenon of “azeotrope” in which two liquids with different boiling points are mixed in a certain ratio and boil together while maintaining their compositional ratios. The name “Azeotrope” is an image of the symbiosis between beer and spirits, which is our main area of business.

Smoked Helles Lager “Far Yeast ARCADIA” using malt smoked with selected branches of peaches and cherries to be released on July 9 (Tuesday)

This page is using auto translation, DeepL.

]Far Yeast Brewing, from its “Brewed with YAMANASHI” project, which aims to co-create with Yamanashi businesses and producers and coexist with the local community through beer, will release “Far Yeast ARCADIA,” a limited edition Smoked Helles Lager using malt smoked with selected branches from peach and cherry trees grown in the prefecture, on July 9, 2024 .Far Yeast ARCADIA” will be released on July 9, 2024 (Tue.) on a limited basis.

Utilizing Selected Branches from Local Peach and Cherry Fields
As everyone knows, Yamanashi Prefecture is a fruit kingdom, boasting the largest production of peaches in Japan. Yamanashi Prefecture is also the third largest producer of cherries in Japan, both of which are grown in large quantities in the Kofu Basin. Most of the branches from pruning peach and cherry trees during farming are burned in the fields as they are. With the aging of farmers, this is not only a work burden, but also an environmental issue in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. ARCADIA” was created last year in collaboration with “Smoke Shop Hibiki*” in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture, which is working to revitalize the local community by utilizing these pruned branches as smoking material.
ARCADIA” is a smoked heless lager with a gentle aroma made from malt smoked with thinned peach and cherry wood chips, which is the raw material of the beer.ARCADIAhas been well received as a craft beer with a clear malt flavor with a hint of natural smoke flavor, and wonthe Gold Award at the International Beer Cup 2023held in October last year.It also won a gold medal at the International Beer Cup 2023 last October.
*Currently closed

■A light, refreshing beer with a sweet, gentle aroma unique to fruit trees
Following on from last year, this year’s beer was brewed to be a “smoked beer” in the lager style that the brewer once drank and was amazed by the taste, which made him fall in love with the beer even more.
The word “smoked beer” is often associated with a strong aroma, but “ARCADIA,” made with malt smoked with chips made from selected peach and cherry branches from “Smoke Shop Hibiki,” has a gentle smokiness that does not interfere with the base lager. This year, we have made changes to the malt blend in order to enhance the enjoyment of the gentle smokiness. Hops were kept as low as possible to give the malt a clean sweetness, a slight smokiness, and a pleasant carbonation that does not interfere with these notes, enhancing drinkability and making it easy to finish the beer.

The Kofu Basin is often described as “Arcadia” in the springtime, when the area is covered in pink with peach and other fruit blossoms. Inspired by such a scene, the label design is designed to resemble pink smoke rising softly from the air with a faint fragrance.

While American-style IPAs remain popular in the Japanese craft beer scene, there is a growing segment of core beer fans who seek lagers, and in response, unique lager-style beers are appearing on the market. We recommend this product to those who want to discover new aspects of beer.

Far Yeast ARCADIA” will be available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store from 12:00 on July 9 (Tue), and will begin shipping sequentially on July 10 (Wed) to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide, as well as to those who purchase it through the official Web Store.

This page is using auto translation, DeepL.

]Far Yeast Brewing will begin selling “Far Yeast Escapism,” a traditional Belgian style arranged for the Japanese summer season, in limited quantities at its official online store on July 2, 2024 (Tuesday).

Saison, a beer style that was drunk in Belgium during the summer between farm work, isan easy-drinking, drinkable beer that is also used inour standard product“Far Yeast White”. In this release, “Escapism”, we have arranged this traditional style with herbs for the Japanese summer. Dill, fennel, thyme, and chervil, which are refreshing and do not produce astringent or bitter tastes, are soaked fresh in place of hops, and the alcohol content is set a little low at 4.5% so that the beer can be enjoyed in a gulp. However, to prevent the beer from becoming watery, plenty of wheat is used to give it a pleasant mouthfeel.
LalBrew Belle Saison™, a Belgian Saison yeast from Lallemand, is dry and has a very good balance of phenols and esters. We aimed for a more drinkable flavor by emphasizing the fruity aroma and keeping the phenolics low.
The cool style adds freshness to the drink, offering a moment of escapism to modern people who battle through the long, hot, and humid summer in Japan.
It can also be enjoyed by comparing it with Far Yeast White, a regular product.
