Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture; CEO: Shiro Yamada) has collaborated with Portland, Oregon brewery Baerlic Brewing to release "Far Yeast Hazelnuts Explosion," a red ale with an explosive flavor of Oregon's famous hazelnuts, starting Wednesday, April 19, 2023.

■Made with over 100kg of Oregon hazelnuts

Portland, Oregon, USA, is home to a plethora of craft beer breweries. We teamed up with Baerlic Brewing, which is highly popular among both beer fans and brewers, to create a beer that is explosively flavorful with hazelnuts, a specialty of Oregon .

This brew uses over 100kg of Oregon hazelnuts. The aroma of roasted nuts is combined with the sweetness of malt and the caramel-like, fragrant flavor of red ale. To further enhance the hazelnut flavor, we selected hops with orange and coconut aromas, as well as spicy notes, which complement the hazelnut flavor. This red ale explodes in your mouth with the aroma of hazelnuts and caramel.

■Pre-opening at the beer festival "HOOD TO FUJI 2023"

Prior to its general release, "Far Yeast Hazelnuts Explosion" will be sold at "HOOD TO FUJI 2023," a Japan-Portland collaborative beer festival to be held in Shibuya from Saturday, April 15th to Sunday, April 16th.

The Far Yeast Brewing online store will begin accepting orders on Tuesday, April 11th, with shipments starting Wednesday, April 19th.
