Far Yeast Tomachela, a vegetable ale made with tomatoes grown in Yamanashi Prefecture , will go on sale on December 12 (Tuesday) for a limited time.
A local product made in cooperation with farmers in Yamanashi Prefecture
Far Yeast Brewing, which has a brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture,has been focusing on brewing beer in collaboration with farmers and businesses in the prefecture in order to communicate the charm of the region through its products.
This time, in collaboration with farmers in the prefecture, we will release “Tomato Ale”, an evolution of “Omoiro Tomato Ale” released in 2021. Omoiro Tomato Ale” is a beer made by upcycling additive-free tomato juice that was lost due to the Corona disaster, as part of an initiative with Ricopel Corporation, an agricultural production corporation in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This unique product has been highly acclaimed both internally and externally, and is now being revived.
In addition to Ricopel, with whom we have teamed up since the previous product, we also collaborated with Yoda Farm Co. in Chuo City, and used plenty of fresh tomatoes in this new product.
A richly flavored vegetable ale with the deliciousness of tomatoes and a variety of spices
Tomachiera” uses 550 kg of fresh tomatoes from Ricopel and Yoda Farm. The freshness and tartness of the raw tomatoes were brought out without overcooking. The recipe is based on the previous “Omoiro Tomato Ale,” but with an improved balance of spices. The tomato flavor is emphasized with celery, basil, and shiitake mushrooms, while citrus flavors from Citra hops and coriander and a number of spices add color to this unique and deeply flavored vegetable ale.
The name “Tomachiera” was inspired by the Mexican beer cocktail “michelada,” which is made by adding tomatoes and “chela” (beer). It is a unique product that makes you feel as if you are eating a tomato dish with plenty of spice. We recommend drinking it snow style with salt on the rim of the glass, or sprinkling a few drops of Tabasco on top if you like.
Tomatomatella” willbe available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store fromDecember 12 (Tue.)at 12:00 p.m. Purchases at the official Web Store and shipments to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin sequentially on December 13 (Wed.).
