Aged for up to 27 months! Barrel-aged beer with a balanced acidity and berry and griot flavors. "Off Trail Gimme Those Fairy Wings" goes on sale on Tuesday, May 28th.

Far Yeast Brewing will be releasing the 46th beer from its innovative brand, Off Trail, titled "Off Trail Gimme Those Fairy Wings," in limited quantities on Tuesday, May 28th.

Enjoy the unique character of barrel-aged beer and the unique blending
Off Trail is a brand that is challenging new possibilities for craft beer, and they use microorganisms other than beer yeast to create unique beers with rich and complex flavors using a barrel-aging method that involves aging the beer in wooden barrels.The finished product changes depending on the barrel and the environment in which it is aged, so no two beers are exactly alike, making for a unique, one-of-a-kind flavor.
Our brewery's barrel room always has around 80 barrel-aged beers stored, and we select and blend the best combination of barrels from these to create our final product.
Some barrels are too stimulating and unique on their own, but by balancing the beers with each other and sometimes combining them with fruits, herbs, spices, etc., they become more substantial and complex, coming together. This latest release, "Gimme Those Fairy Wings," is made using barrels aged for up to 27 months, and is a product that has balance and depth thanks to the addition of berry and griotte (wild cherry) puree.

■ Aged for up to 27 months. A balanced barrel-aged beer with acidity and berries and griottes.
"Gimme Those Fairy Wings" is a barrel-aged sour ale made with a base of sour red ale and sour blonde ale aged for up to 27 months, combined with blueberry, raspberry, and cranberry & griot purees. While the base beer's berry and oak flavors are impressive, the long aging in the barrels gave it a distinctive vinegary character. Therefore, we searched for fruit purees to balance this acidity, and we chose a blend of blueberry, raspberry, and cranberry & griot purees. The cranberry & griot purees, in particular, add depth to the blend with their skin-like tannins, likely derived from the griots, while the powerful berry flavors contribute enough to the overall harmony to convey the distinctive acidity as a complex flavor.
You can enjoy the unique acidity of barrel-aged beer that has developed over time, and the various layers of flavor created by the fruit.

Purchases on the official web store and shipments to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin sequentially from Wednesday, May 29th .
