Far Yeast Brewing collaborates with Granny Smith, an apple pie specialty store! Limited release of “NIGHT WATCH PROJECT #9 Apple Pie Hazy IPA” on February 1st (Tuesday), just like drinking apple pie!

Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd. will release “NIGHT WATCH PROJECT #9 Apple Pie Hazy IPA” (hereinafter referred to as “Apple Pie Hazy IPA”) as the ninth installment of the “NIGHT WATCH PROJECT” in collaboration with “Granny Smith Apple Pie & Coffee” (hereinafter referred to as “Granny Smith”), an apple pie specialty store operated by Fungo Co. #(hereinafter referred to as “Granny Smith”), an apple pie specialty store operated by Fango Co.

The “NIGHT WATCH PROJECT” is the project launched at the end of 2019 by a group of professionals in various fields who love craft beer, including brewers, fashion, graphic and architectural designers.

This is the ninth installment of the project, a collaboration with Granny Smith’s, an apple pie specialty store, to create a pastry beer*1 inspired by drinking apple pie.

Based on Milkshake IPA*2, which is very popular among craft beer fans, this beer contains the largest amount of lactose in the history of the “NIGHT WATCH PROJECT”. In addition, a generous 121.5kg of concentrated apple juice is used to create a robust sweet and sour taste.

The use of kveik yeast, which is characterized by its tropical aroma, gives it a fruity feel, while the malt structure gives it a pie crust feel, and the fruit juice and cinnamon give it an apple pie flavor. We aimed for the taste of Granny Smith’s apple pie, which is a crispy pie filled with large apples.
