Beer x Lemonade! Low-alcohol, refreshing and easy to drink. The first attempt at a traditional style: "Far Yeast Radler" available for a limited time from Tuesday, July 18th.

Far Yeast Radler, the first attempt at the German radler style , will be available for limited sale from Tuesday, July 18, 2023.

■ A traditional style, arranged in a Far Yeast Brewing style

"Radler," a name not so familiar in Japan, is beer mixed with lemonade. It is a popular beer style consumed mainly in the summer in Germany. "Radler" means "cyclist" in German. In 1922, on a scorching hot day in southern Germany, a bar along a cycling road ran out of beer, so as a last resort, they blended it with lemonade and served it. It became a huge hit and spread as a summer tradition.

Although Radler is a style that has many fans among brewers in Japan, it is not commonly enjoyed. This style was born about 100 years ago, and we have tuned it up to suit the modern Japanese summer season.

■ Refreshing Kölsch with lemon juice and lemon peel

Far Yeast Radler is based on a Kolsch beer with subdued hop and malt flavors, and is fermented by adding lemon juice and lemon peel to the wort. Since sugars turn to alcohol during the fermentation process, sweetening the beer was a challenge, but we used stevia, a natural sweetener, to achieve a natural sweetness. Enjoy the pleasant bitterness and clean sweetness of the lemon peel and juice. Furthermore, we kept the alcohol content to 3.0%, resulting in a perfectly drinkable beer that combines our signature dry taste with a refreshing acidity and sweetness.

With the heatwaves continuing this summer, this is a refreshing drink that we highly recommend not only to beer fans, but also to those who regularly drink non-beer drinks such as lemon sours.

Far Yeast Radler will be available in limited quantities on the Far Yeast Brewing official web store from 12:00 on Tuesday, July 18th. Purchases made on the official web store will be shipped sequentially from Wednesday, July 19th to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide.
