Rediscovering the diversity and appeal of beer by challenging traditional styles
The IPA style, which has been around for a long time in the craft beer scene, has captivated drinkers in Japan and has steadily increased the number of beer fans. In response to the current trends in the world, we have released many products, such as making Juicy IPA a standard item and taking on the challenge of making limited editions of various IPA styles.
In the midst of all this, we have once again set our sights on brewing products that embody our mission of “Democratizing Beer – Reclaiming the diversity and richness of beer once again. We have released lager styles with a twist, such as hoppy lager, smoked lager, and second fermentation lager, but this time we tried the traditional “Vienna Lager” for the first time in order to rediscover the charm of beer for ourselves.
Vienna Lager, a simple beer that lets you enjoy the taste of wheat
The main ingredient is barley. Vienna Lager, born in Vienna, the capital of Austria, is characterized by a deep amber color with a reddish hue derived from Vienna malt, and a toasty, nutty malt flavor. It is not often seen in Japan, but there is a theory that it is a light-colored lager produced earlier than Pilsner, and it is a style with a long history.
We aimed to create depth of flavor by using several varieties of malt, mainly Vienna malt, which is also used for the first time in our company. For hops, we focused on noble hops* and lavishly used two varieties, Tettnanger and Saaz. They produce a mild yet herbal and spicy aroma and a pleasant bitterness that balances the malt.
It is a lager with a clean and pleasant taste that reminds the drinker of the phrase“beer” written in the name of“barley wine“. It is a lager with a clean and pleasant taste that makes you imagine the wheat in the field dancing gracefully in the spring breeze.
*What are Noble Hops?
Noble Hop is a traditional hop used for beer brewing in Europe since ancient times. It is characterized by its clean bitterness and refreshing aroma. There are four types of “noble hops”: Saaz, Hallertau Mittelfrueh, Spalter, and Tettnanger.
Far Yeast Malz Walzer”will be available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store from March 5 (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 March 6 (Wed).
In addition, “Far Yeast Bicycle Coffee Lager,” a collaboration beer with“BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO“that is arranged by macerating coffee beans in this Vienna lager base, will be released at the same time.
