"Far Yeast" Tokyo Blonde won the Osaka Governor's Award at the Japan Beer Festival Osaka 2015 on Sunday, July 20th, 2015.

The award is given to the best beer selected from the award-winning beers of the Asia Beer Cup 2015, based on the results of audience voting and further judging by Craft Beer Association certified Master Beer Judges and Senior Beer Judges. Far Yeast Tokyo Blonde (7th Edition) won the Gold Award in the Freestyle Bottle/Can category at the same beer tasting event.

Far Yeast continues to evolve by adjusting the recipe with each brew, evolving the flavor. The 8th edition of Tokyo Blonde will soon begin shipping. The hops used in this 8th edition will be Amarillo, replacing Nelson Sauvin. We hope you enjoy it.

[About "Far Yeast" playing the music of Tokyo]

The company was founded in April 2014 with the concept of creating a beer that symbolizes Tokyo, based on the idea that "as a craft beer company based in Tokyo, we want to create a beer that can spread the appeal of Tokyo to the world, a city that we can be proud of." Based on the theme of "Tokyo," a vibrant city that blends tradition with cutting-edge technology and evolves every day, our beer is brewed at a domestic contract brewery using an original recipe (mixture) designed by our company. They offer three types: the lager-style "Tokyo Blonde," the saison-style "Tokyo White," and the lager-style "Tokyo Blonde – Export," an export version. http://www.nipponcraftbeer.com/far-yeast
