For the second edition of the new brand “Off Trail” that challenges innovative beer brewing, Far Yeast Brewing (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Shiro Yamada) will release “3 Funkeys” on Tuesday, December 24th.
Our second challenge blends Belgian-style strong ales, using Brettanomyces wild yeast and oak barrel-aging to create a distinctive, complex flavor. Each of the three components were aged in red wine barrels for eleven months.
After aging, each beer showed distinguishing characteristics. One had a Cherry pie-like aroma, another had a smoky flavor profile, and the third was well rounded and full of oak tannins. By blending these three beers together each characteristic found its place with the others, resulting in a well-balanced, complex Strong Ale. This beer is a must-try beer for wild-beer and barrel-aged beer geeks but is also recommended for all beer fans. We will continue to challenge ourselves to innovate and deliver value to our customers worldwide.
