Far Yeast Brewing releases the third collaboration beer between Genryu Brewery and overseas breweries, the limited edition "Far Yeast Kriek in the flesh."
Starting in mid-August 2018, we will be releasing the limited edition "Far Yeast Kriek in the flesh."
"Far Yeast Kriek in the flesh" is a collaboration between Far Yeast Brewing and Culmination Brewing, a brewery in Portland, Oregon, USA. This product is a fruit sour* fermented using the kettle souring method* with the addition of tart cherry juice.
*Kettle souring, also known as "quick souring," is a relatively new method for making sour ales. It generally involves lactic acid fermentation of the wort in a boiling kettle, a brewing device, to give the beer a sour flavor.
It has a vibrant ruby color and a fruity aroma. It's not too sweet, with just the right amount of cherry acidity. The finish is dry. Additionally, a portion of the "Far Yeast Kriek in the flesh" is being aged in red wine barrels, and will be released in limited quantities after aging.~From Tomas, Owner and Head Brewer of Culmination Brewing~
“I very much enjoyed the collaboration with Far Yeast. The brewery was professional and efficient, and your team is talented and innovative. One of the highlights of my trip was standing on the rocks by the waterfall behind the brewery I expect the beer is going to be outstanding and I'm excited to come back and try it. Collaborating with Far East was a very enjoyable experience. The brewery was professional and efficient, and the team talented and innovative. The highlight of my trip was cooling off on the rocks at the source of the river behind the brewery. I think the finished beer will be outstanding, and I look forward to tasting it when I get back to Japan.The product will be available in both kegs and bottles. It will be pre-opened at Watering Hole on Saturday, August 4th, and at Hood To Fuji by Culmination Brewing, which will be held at KAMIKAZE on Sunday, August 5th. Both kegs and bottles will then be available nationwide from mid-August.
