Far Yeast Tomachela, a vegetable ale made with tomatoes grown in Yamanashi Prefecture , will go on sale on December 12 (Tuesday) for a limited time.


A local product made in cooperation with farmers in Yamanashi Prefecture
Far Yeast Brewing, which has a brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture,has been focusing on brewing beer in collaboration with farmers and businesses in the prefecture in order to communicate the charm of the region through its products.
This time, in collaboration with farmers in the prefecture, we will release “Tomato Ale”, an evolution of “Omoiro Tomato Ale” released in 2021. Omoiro Tomato Ale” is a beer made by upcycling additive-free tomato juice that was lost due to the Corona disaster, as part of an initiative with Ricopel Corporation, an agricultural production corporation in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This unique product has been highly acclaimed both internally and externally, and is now being revived.

In addition to Ricopel, with whom we have teamed up since the previous product, we also collaborated with Yoda Farm Co. in Chuo City, and used plenty of fresh tomatoes in this new product.

A richly flavored vegetable ale with the deliciousness of tomatoes and a variety of spices
Tomachiera” uses 550 kg of fresh tomatoes from Ricopel and Yoda Farm. The freshness and tartness of the raw tomatoes were brought out without overcooking. The recipe is based on the previous “Omoiro Tomato Ale,” but with an improved balance of spices. The tomato flavor is emphasized with celery, basil, and shiitake mushrooms, while citrus flavors from Citra hops and coriander and a number of spices add color to this unique and deeply flavored vegetable ale.

The name “Tomachiera” was inspired by the Mexican beer cocktail “michelada,” which is made by adding tomatoes and “chela” (beer). It is a unique product that makes you feel as if you are eating a tomato dish with plenty of spice. We recommend drinking it snow style with salt on the rim of the glass, or sprinkling a few drops of Tabasco on top if you like.

Tomatomatella” willbe available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store fromDecember 12 (Tue.)at 12:00 p.m. Purchases at the official Web Store and shipments to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin sequentially on December 13 (Wed.).

[Off Trail Wild Caught, a barrel-aged beer with wild sansho added, will go on sale on Tuesday, March 28 .

This page is using auto translation, DeepL.

(Head office: Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture; Representative Director: Shiro Yamada) will start selling ” Off Trail Wild Caught” from March 28, 2023 (Tuesday) in collaboration with ” Tabajibier,” a wild game brand from Tambayama Village, a neighboring village of Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, where the brewery is located.Off Trail Wild Caught, a collaboration with Tabajibier, a wild game brand from Tabajibier in Tambayama Village, a neighboring village to Kosuge Village in Yamanashi Prefecture where the brewery is located, will be available for sale on a limited basis from March 28, 2023 (Tuesday).


Off Trail” was launched in 2019 as the third brand following “KAGUA” and “Far Yeast”. Off Trail is a unique beer with a rich and complex flavor, created by utilizing microorganisms other than beer yeast, mainly through the barrel aging method of aging in wooden casks.

This time, Far Yeast Brewing collaborated with Tabajibier, a gibier brand from Tambayama Village, a neighboring village across the mountain from Kosuge Village in Yamanashi Prefecture, where Far Yeast Brewing’s Headwaters Brewery is located. This time, Far Yeast Brewing will release a barrel-aged Wild Red Ale, specially blended to go well with the gibier.

Tambayama Village, like Kosuge Village, is rich in nature with clear water flowing from the headwaters of the Tama River. It has inherited a hunting culture that has continued since ancient times, and has a culture of respecting wild animals caught by hunting as “gifts from the mountain gods. Tabajibie is working to make the hunting culture of Tambayama Village known to as many people as possible by providing high-quality, safe gibier meat, as well as promoting the utilization of wild animals and regional development.

The collaborative beer “Off Trail Wild Caught” was created to celebrate the wild resources that inhabit Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, to which both Kosuge and Tambayama villages belong. For the base beer, we used a stout aged 24 months in the barrels of the Headwaters Brewery in Kosuge Village, an 18-month-old Sour Porter, a 12-month-old Sour Red, and a 14-month-old Strong Ale, in pursuit of the best blend to pair with the gibier. The result is a well-balanced blend based on mild acidity from acetic and lactic acids, with berries, toasty malts, and tannins from oak barrels. In addition, wild sansho (Japanese pepper) from the village of Tambayama was introduced. The addition of citrussy, green and fresh flavors from the sansho adds a refreshing accent to the complex flavors of the base blend. This product also expresses one of the themes of “Off Trail”: terroir.

Off Trail Wild Caught will begin shipping on Wednesday, March 29, and will be available for purchase on the company’s official online store from 12:00 pm on Tuesday, March 28.

What is Off Trail?

Off Trail was created in November 2019 as a follow-up to the KAGUA and Far Yeast brands, challenging new possibilities for craft beer. KAGUA was named after the image of “Off Trail,” or the “unpaved road,” which is a departure from the “well-paved road. In order to produce a rich and complex aroma by utilizing microorganisms other than beer yeast, beer is aged in barrels used for wine, sake, and whiskey. To match the character of the base beer, we try to create unique flavors by blending seasonal and regional fruits such as grapes and peaches.

“Pink Salt & Yuzu Gose” is brewed at Far Yeast Brewing Tokyo Brewery in collaboration with Indian Brewery BIRA 91 Available exclusively at “Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill” Available from May 28th (Saturday)

 Far Yeast Brewing (Head Office: Kosuge-mura, Yamanashi Prefecture; Managing Director: Shiro Yamada; hereinafter referred to as “Far Yeast”), offering a wide variety of original beers from Japan to the world, has collaborated with BIRA 91, an Indian brewery. Far Yeast brewed “Pink Salt & Yuzu Gose” at its Tokyo Brewery in Gotanda, Tokyo. The beer will be available from Saturday, May 28, 2022 exclusively at Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill, a directly managed restaurant equipped with the brewery. 

 

■To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and India, a cultural exchange was held with recipes using specialties from each country: “Yuzu” and “Himalayan Pink Salt”.

In 2022, Japan and India will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. In this milestone year, we collaborated with BIRA 91, an Indian brewery to create “Pink Salt & Yuzu Gose”,  a gose made with Japanese yuzu and Indian Himalayan pink salt. Gose is typically a sour and salty beer style brewed via lactic acid fermentation with the additions of salt and coriander.

This time, Far Yeast Brewing’s Tokyo brewery and BIRA 91’s Bangalore brewery will brew the same recipe of Gose at the same time. In addition, the chefs of both restaurants will exchange their own pairing menus, which will be served at their own restaurants. This will be an exchange program to introduce the culture and breweries of each other’s country. This is our first time collaborating with an Indian brewery and vice versa, the first time for BIRA 91 to collaborate with a Japanese brewery.

This collaboration is recognized by the Secretariat of the Japan-India Diplomatic Relations 70th Anniversary Executive Committee (Embassy of Japan in India) as part of the Japan-India Diplomatic Relations 70th Anniversary Program.

■Gose style, the first challenge for Tokyo Brewery

From Japan, we used Yuzu, which is used in our regular beer KAGUA, and from India, we incorporated Himalayan pink salt, a representative Indian rock salt, into the recipe. Using ingredients representative of both countries, we have created a refreshing Gose perfect for early summer with its aroma of yuzu and juicy, pleasant acidity.

　Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill will offer this “Pink Salt & Yuzu Gose” along with a pairing menu created by the chefs at BIRA 91’s taproom for a limited time, from Saturday, May 28 to Friday, June 3. In addition, BIRA 91’s taproom in Bangalore will serve “Yuzu and Black Shichimi Fried Chicken” using yuzu, which will also be a regular menu item at Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill.

Due to popular demand, Far Yeast Peach Haze will continue to be brewed as a seasonal staple! “Far Yeast Peach Haze” made with Yamanashi peaches. Preparation begins for the June release!

　Craft beer brewery Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, Representative Director: Shiro Yamada) that has been introducing beers full of originality from Japan to the world, has decided to make Far Yeast Peach Haze, a seasonal product made with peaches from peach farmer Peach Senka Yamashita (Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture; Representative Director: Kazuhiro Yamashita) as a seasonal standard product every spring and summer on an ongoing basis. This year’s product is scheduled to go on sale on Wednesday, June 1, and we have started brewing.

■Peach Haze, a popular product that has sold out in pre-orders for the past two production runs, will become a regular product every year for the spring and summer seasons.

In July 2020, Far Yeast Brewing brewed “Peach Haze” for the first time, using “Peach Senka Yamashita” peaches.

The limited release was the first product of the “Yamanashi Support Project,” which cooperated with local producers. It was a countermeasure for the decline in tourists to Yamanashi Prefecture due to the COVID-19 impact. We used beer to communicate the attractions of Yamanashi, and the product became a hot topic among craft beer fans. Due to the product’s popularity, it was re-brewed last year in 2021 too. We introduced a new squeezer system that could process the juice thoroughly, improving the work efficiency, so we used approximately 1,000 kg of peaches to make twice as much as the previous year. However, it was still sold out very quickly by reservation as last year.

This year will be the third year since we started selling the product, and we have decided to sell it at an early stage and have begun brewing. From now on, “Peach Haze” will be positioned as a seasonal staple product for spring and summer, and by brewing it every year, we aim to attract and establish a hard-core fan base. We also plan to sell a new product made with freshly harvested peaches in August this year. We are strengthening our production system to meet the demands of our fans and are preparing to deliver our products to a large number of peach beer fans.

■Utilizing Peach Specialty Yamashita’s outside-of-specification peach. 

Peach Haze is a Hazy style fruit pale ale made with plenty of peaches from Peach Senka Yamashita, a peach farmer in Yamanashi City. Peach Haze utilizes outside-of-specification peaches that cannot be sold on the general market due to their poor appearance.

Peach Senka Yamashita focuses on sixth industrialization, processing outside-of-specification peaches into juice and gelato for sale. This time, 1,000 kg of peaches harvested in 2021 and frozen for processing will be used to make 6,000 L of “Peach Haze.”

The Peach Haze to be brewed this time is scheduled to go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, June 1, with orders for wholesalers starting on Monday, April 25. This year, Peach Haze will also be served at the Peach Farmer Cafe La Pesca, which is operated on the premises of Peach Senka Yamashita, from mid-June.　We will continue to collaborate with agricultural producers and other businesses in Yamanashi Prefecture to bring you a variety of made-in-Yamanashi beers.

A self-homage to the “Hops and Dreams” dry-hopped sours that had been praised highly by beer fans. “Off Trail Recurring Dreams”　 On Sale Saturday, April 23rd

　Far Yeast Brewing Company (headquartered in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture; Shiro Yamada, Representative Director; hereinafter referred to as “Far Yeast”) will release “Off Trail Recurring Dreams” from “Off Trail,” a brand that challenges innovative beer brewing. Recurring Dreams” will go on sale to the market on Saturday, April 23, with pre-sales starting on Tuesday, April 19 at 1:00 p.m. on the official online store.

■ Brewing on target for the highly acclaimed “Hops and Dreams” in 2021.

　”Off Trail Hops and Dreams,” released in August 2021, was Untappd’s most popular beer among the Off Trail series released last year. “Off Trail Recurring Dreams,” like last year’s “Off Trail Hops and Dreams,” is a dry-hopped, barrel-aged blonde sour ale with various hops.　

Even the same dream you repeatedly have may seem similar to a previous dream, but it is somehow slightly different. Like the dreams, the Hops and Dreams brewed this time is a reproduction of last year’s Hops and Dreams, but with a somewhat different flavor and aroma due to the hops and base beer used.

 

■ Sour and fruity taste like fruit juice

　This time, we used several aged beers in the blend, with the longest aged beer being a beer that has been aged in wooden barrels for about two and a half years. To complement the acidity and create a complex flavor, we dry-hopped this time with Vie Secret and Galaxy, Australian hops with tropical and citrus characters.

The body is light and dry, and the finish is crisp and a bit funky. Overall, it has a well-balanced acidity, with pineapple-like and passion fruit-like flavors, as if you are drinking fruit juice. The fruity flavor was created by the power of the base beer and hops alone, without the addition of any secondary ingredients.
