Release of limited edition brew "Far Yeast Abbey Baby!"
Starting January 21, 2018, we will be releasing a limited edition craft beer called "Far Yeast Abbey Baby!" in collaboration with Brewpub Têtard Vallée (Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture).
Far Yeast Abbey Baby! is a Belgian abbey ale based on Brewpub Têtard Vallée's abbey-style beer, "Goraikoyoku Beer," with a unique twist that only this collaboration can offer.
After primary fermentation with Trappist yeast, secondary fermentation with wine yeast is added, resulting in a richer, more mellow aroma. Furthermore, dry hopping with a new hop variety, "HBC431," and for the first time at Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd., "Hallertau Bran" hops are used. The fermentation temperature is also different from the standard product, achieving a flavor that is characteristic of this collaboration, which "could not be achieved by either brewing alone."
The "Têtard" in Têtard Vallée refers to a tadpole (a baby frog), and the new collaboration beer was "born" based on Brewpub Têtard Vallée's Abbey-style beer "Goraikoyoku Bey," so it was named "Abbey Baby!"
This product will be available in both kegs and bottles. It will be first sold in the Kansai area at the Brewpub Têtard Vallée × Far Yeast Brewing Collaboration Beer Release Event on Sunday, January 21st. Both kegs and bottles will then be available nationwide from Wednesday, January 24th.

~From Brewpub Têtard Vallée's Kodai Kitada and Yusuke Adachi~
"We've brewed over 100 types of beer in Osaka, but we decided to take on a new challenge with the Belgian style by creating Abbey Baby! in collaboration with Far Yeast Brewing. This is the birth of a new era of abbey ale that combines the individuality of our two companies!"~From the Far Yeast Brewing Brewing Team~
"By combining and perfecting the brewing techniques of both companies, Abbey Baby! was born, using two types of hops in abundance. It's a beer that you'll want to enjoy slowly, enjoying the aroma of hops and yeast and the flavor of malt, especially on a cold winter's day."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.
