Release of limited edition "Far Yeast Suginamic! Bitter Ale"

Starting December 25th, 2017, we will be releasing a limited edition collaboration beer with Suginami Brewery, "Far Yeast Suginamic! Bitter Ale," from the craft beer brand "Far Yeast."

Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd.'s own factory, Genryu Brewery, is located in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, where cedar trees are a local specialty, and the cedar in the name of Suginami Brewery is also included. "Far Yeast Suginamic! Bitter Ale" is a collaboration beer born from the encounter of these two cedars.

"Far Yeast Suginamic! Bitter Ale" is an English bitter ale with the subtle scent of Kosuge Village's famous cedar, making you feel as if you're enjoying a forest bath amidst a row of cedar trees. Freshly felled cedar trees are shaved into small pieces like bonito flakes, giving the cedar a refreshing flavor, while the bitterness is reduced for a relaxed drinking experience. This is a beer that is perfect for enjoying surrounded by a calm atmosphere in the gentle winter sunshine.

The product will be released in two versions: a keg and a bottle. The keg will be unveiled at a release event on Sunday, December 24th, followed by the keg on Monday, December 25th, and the bottled version in early January.

"We wanted to create a unique beer that is distinctively Japanese, yet loved by a wide range of people, so we decided to use cedar. The gentle wood flavor will make you feel as if you are in the forest. Please take your time to savour it."

We will continue to introduce new items such as limited edition brews, and aim to provide products that will please many people in a variety of everyday situations.
