Far Yeast Peach Haze: A huge hit every year! A juicy fruit pale ale made with peaches from Yamanashi Prefecture!
Far Yeast Brewing (Headquarters: Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture; CEO: Shiro Yamada; hereinafter, "Our Company") is a part of its "Brewed with Yamanashi" initiative, which aims to brew beer that makes the most of the local Yamanashi climate. As part of this initiative, the company will begin selling "Far Yeast Peach Haze," a hazy-style fruit pale ale made with a generous 500kg of peaches from "Peach Senka Yamashita," a peach farmer in Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture, on Monday, May 12th.
■Far Yeast Brewing's most popular limited edition product!
"Far Yeast Peach Haze" is a hazy-style fruit pale ale made with plenty of peaches from "Peach Senka Yamashita," a peach farmer in Yamanashi City.
It was launched in July 2020 as the first product of the "Yamanashi Support Project," which collaborates with local Yamanashi producers to promote the charms of Yamanashi through beer. Since then, it has been brewed and sold every year, and is a popular product that always sells out immediately. As a brewery in Yamanashi, a major peach producing region, it aims to continue delivering delicious peach-based products to fans, and has positioned it as a spring/summer staple since 2022.
Starting in 2024, the Yamanashi Support Project will be renamed "Brewed with YAMANASHI" in light of the shift from "supporting the local area" to "co-creation with the local area," and we will continue to create value through beer with even more people.
■ To bring out the peach flavor even more
To enhance the haze, we switched to "Pomona" yeast, which is used in Hazy IPAs, etc. This beer has a fruity, juicy aroma reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruits, and we aimed for a smoother mouthfeel while complementing the peach aroma with the yeast's character.
The dry-hopping process uses Citra and Nectaron to thicken the tropical aroma layer and bring out the peach flavor. This fresh fruit pale ale offers a natural peach aroma, citrus tropical flavors from the hops, and a juicy, smooth mouthfeel.
Far Yeast Peach Haze will begin shipping to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide from Tuesday, May 13th, and will be available on the Far Yeast Brewing official online store from Thursday, May 15th.

[About Peach Senka Yamashita]
At Yamashita Peach Specialty, we aim to produce crops that can withstand the elements, using farming methods that are kind to both the fruit and the earth, without damaging the soil. We use "grass cultivation," which involves laborious weeding and returning the grass to the soil to strengthen it. We also minimize the use of chemically synthesized products, instead using naturally occurring minerals to create strong soil that is resistant to disease. We harness the power of nature to maximize the fruit's inherent flavor. Furthermore, by planning our plantings to maximize production over as long a period as possible, taking into account the flavor characteristics and growing season of each variety, we are able to deliver a wide range of delicious flavors, from those eaten raw to processed products.
