Far Yeast Brewingwill begin selling Far Yeast 1000 Steps, a limited editi on product commemorating the 1000th brewing at its brewery, on Tuesday, March 19.
A beer that returns to the brewery’s origins on the occasion of its 1000th brewing
Founded in Shibuya, Tokyo, we began by brewing and selling KAGUA on consignment, and in May 2017, we established our own brewery, the Genryu Brewery, in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture. We have just celebrated our 1,000th brewing since our first brewing “Far Yeast TAPECUT”. Over the past seven years, the number of emerging breweries in Japan has increased, each releasing products with strong personalities and appeal that have captured the hearts of beer fans.
As we, too, approach our milestone 1000th brewing, we once again reflected on our values and strengths as a brewery, and considered what kind of beer we should make.
When we started brewing our own beer at our brewery, which was founded with the traditional Belgian style KAGUA, our concept was “Belgo-Japanesque. Going back to our original concept of challenging the latest technology and styles based on the free-flowing ideas of Belgian beer, we decided to take on the challenge of brewing a traditional Bergen style beer head-on.
A high-alcohol specialty beer that takes full advantage of the brewery’s unique characteristics.
“1000 Steps” is a traditional high-alcohol beer that has never been brewed at Genryu Brewery before, taking full advantage of Far Yeast Brewing’s greatest feature, “in-container secondary fermentation,” and the Bergeron yeast used in the standard “Far Yeast Tokyo IPA.
Using 2.5 times the amount of malt as in the regular brewing process, the beer is boiled for as long as 7 hours to create a high-alcohol, dry beer while still retaining the ethereal characteristics of the Belgian yeast. By drinking it over time, you can enjoy the changes in flavor depending on the temperature. The in-container secondary fermentation process allows for a delicate mouthfeel and suppresses dissolved oxygen (DO) in the container, making it resistant to deterioration and suitable for long-term aging, as is typical of Belgian beers.
Far Yeast Brewing Headwaters Brewery will continue to deliver a variety of appealing beers to beer lovers, as a step forward in the process and technology it has cultivated to date, and as the next step in taking on the challenges of a variety of styles.
Far Yeast 1000 Steps” will be available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store from 12:00 p.m. onTuesday, March 19, and will be shipped to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide from Thursday, March 21. The shipment of the official Web Store will start on March 27 (Wed.).
