The second batch of "Far Yeast Hop Frontier -Juicy IPA-," featuring the latest hop theory and advanced brewing techniques, will be released on Sunday, April 18th.
Starting Sunday, April 18, 2021, we will be releasing the second batch of "Far Yeast Hop Frontier -Juicy IPA-," which utilizes the latest hop theory and advanced brewing techniques to push the boundaries of Juicy IPA. Based on feedback from testing the first batch, we aimed to bring out aromas closer to our original target.
Juicy IPA is currently the most popular style among craft beer fans around the world due to its fruity and juicy taste with little bitterness. Far Yeast Brewing's Hop Frontier - Juicy IPA (hereafter referred to as Hop Frontier) was the first in Japan to try out the latest hop theory and advanced brewing techniques that support this style.
*1 Juicy IPA:
This style is defined as "Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale" in the American Brewers Association's Beer Style Guidelines. It focuses on bringing out the "juicy flavor" of hops and is characterized by its cloudy appearance. It is currently one of the most popular styles among avid craft beer fans around the world. Despite being a new beer style defined in 2018, it was the category with the most entries in both 2019 and 2020 at the Great American Beer Festival, the most prestigious beer tasting event in the United States.

Hop Frontier carefully selects hop varieties, focusing on "survivables," compounds that survive the brewing process and contribute to the aroma of the finished beer. YCH developed this new hop product after several years of research into survivables. It features four types of hops and one hop product, centered around TRI-2304CR, the latest hop variety, Talus, which is being used in Japan for the first time. TRI-2304CR maximizes solubility (ease of dissolving in liquid), allowing the final beer to retain its fruity, ripe, and juicy aroma. Tarus, a variety developed at YCH's hop farm, is expected to deliver a dynamic, fruity aroma when combined with TRI-2304CR.
Based on the various feedback received from testing the first batch, we adjusted the variety and amount of hops added during dry hopping. We increased the amount of Talus, which is rich in the aromatic compound geraniol, and attempted to scientifically design the beer's flavor in an attempt to get closer to our original goal.
*2 What is Survivables?
These compounds, such as monoterpene alcohols, hop-derived esters, and thiols, have a low sensory threshold and are relatively resistant to evaporation. They remain strong in the final beer product even after the brewing process, delivering a powerful aroma impact. Scott Janish, author of "The New IPA: Scientific Guide to Hop Aroma and Flavor," has introduced a methodology that maximizes the use of survivables to effectively extract aromas on the hot side, drawing attention.
We will continue to test "Hop Frontier" and aim to make it a regular product under the Far Yeast brand. While inheriting the core of the Far Yeast brand - a clean, refined taste and quality that satisfies both beer fans and novices - we will focus on making it a new standard beer that many people can easily enjoy while also enjoying the latest trends.
Additionally, as part of its efforts to scientifically design flavors, an online event will be held during Golden Week where participants can enjoy food pairings using "HopFrontier."
The head chef of the Gotanda store "Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill" has developed food pairing recipes that maximize the aroma of "HopFrontier." You can enjoy the marriage of beer and food while making recipes together online.
We will announce the details on our official website and social media as soon as they are decided, so please look forward to it.
"Far Yeast Hop Fronter -Juicy IPA-" will be available at liquor stores and restaurants nationwide from Sunday, April 16th. Pre-orders will begin on the online store from 1:00 PM on Tuesday, April 6th.
