As part of the fifth installment of the "Yamanashi Support Project," Far Yeast Brewing has collaborated with Yatsugatake Brewery to create a limited-edition "Far Yeast Peach Flower Weiss," made with peach blossoms and fruit from Peach Senka Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture. The beer will be available for general release on Friday, June 4, 2021, with pre-orders opening on the online store from 1:00 PM on Tuesday, May 18.

Popular peach beer returns to Yamanashi Support Project
In October 2020, we relocated our headquarters from Shibuya to Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, where our brewery is located, further deepening our ties with producers and businesses within the prefecture. Prior to the relocation, the Yamanashi Support Project was launched in July 2020, with the aim of revitalizing local industry through beer brewing using products from the prefecture.

To date, they have released four types of beer: "PEACH HAZE," made with peaches from Yamanashi City; "Ume-kin' Me Crazy!", made with plums from Kosuge Village, where they have their own factory; "GRAPEVINE," made with grapes from Nirasaki City; and "Omoiro Tomato Ale," made with tomatoes from Hokuto City. They have been promoting the charm of Yamanashi along with their beers.

Collaboration with Yatsugatake Brewery, also located in Yamanashi Prefecture <br>This time, the product is a collaboration with Yatsugatake Brewery, also located in Yamanashi Prefecture. In 2018, we previously released a limited-edition collaborative product, "Far Yeast Peach Weiß," which was based on Yatsugatake Brewery's "Weiss" recipe and used peaches from Peach Senka Yamashita. This time, the brewery has also agreed to support the Yamanashi Support Project, and we have been able to brew "Far Yeast Peach Flower Weiß" with a new recipe.

In April of this year, staff from our Genryu Brewery, along with members of Yatsugatake Brewery, visited Peach Senka Yamashita's peach orchards to help with peach blossom picking and pollination. The picked peach blossoms were donated and used in this brew. We aimed to create a highly fragrant product by combining fruity peaches with a floral aroma.

Uses Peach Senka Yamashita's rejected peaches for processing <br>Peach Senka Yamashita's farm is located on a southern slope overlooking the Kofu Basin, in a perfect environment where it receives plenty of sunlight, and delicious peaches are grown using special farming methods that make use of the power of nature.
The farm is also focusing on the sixth industry, and uses rejected peaches that cannot be shipped due to minor blemishes or poor shape as ingredients for processing into juice and gelato. These are sold at the Peach Farm Cafe La Pesca, which is run on the premises, and have become very popular.
This time, we received support from the Yamanashi Support Project, which we wanted to continue this year, and they shared some of the peaches that they had planned to use for processing with us for this project. We used 500 kg of peaches and puree that were harvested in 2020 and stored frozen for processing.

Starting with this "Far Yeast Peach Flower Weiß," and with the full cooperation of Peach Senka Yamashita, this year we plan to release three products using peaches as part of our Yamanashi Support Project.

Fruity and floral flavor <br>Far Yeast Peach Flower Weiß is made with an abundance of peach fruit and flowers. The hops used are the latest variety "Talus," known for its floral aroma, and "El Dorado," which has a stone fruit flavor. The result is a brew that allows you to enjoy a luxurious fruity and floral aroma and flavor.

"Far Yeast Peach Flower Weiß" will be available for general sale from Friday, June 4th, and orders will be accepted on our online store from 1:00 PM on Tuesday, May 18th.

We will continue to work with producers and businesses in Yamanashi Prefecture to deliver a variety of Made-in-Yamanashi beers.
