Far Yeast Brewing Company (Head Office: Kosuge-mura, Yamanashi Prefecture; President: Shiro Yamada)has collaborated withTangerine (NIA inc., Head Office: Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture; President:Yuichiro Wakamatsu), a citrus farm in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, to produce “ Off Trail -Azeotrope Serendipity,” an upcycled , barrel-aged gin that uses the rind after the juice is squeezed as a botanical in the distillation process.Off Trail -Azeotrope Serendipity”is an upcycled, barrel-aged gin that uses the peel of the squeezed fruit as a botanical in the distillation of Ross Beer.
Off Trail – Azeotrope” was launched in 2021 as a derivative project of “Off Trail,” a brand that challenges beer brewing utilizing microorganisms mainly through barrel aging (aging in wooden barrels). It is a crossover brand of beer and spirits that challenges to create innovative spirits and liqueurs by utilizing the know-how of fermentation and barrel aging cultivated through beer brewing.
The newest product is an upcycled barrel-aged gin made in collaboration with Tangerine, a citrus farm in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture.Representative Mr. Wakamatsu has been developing “Tangerine” as a brand of tangerine juice and apparel in addition to his generations-long farming business.At Tangerine, the peels are not thrown away after the juice is squeezed, but are returned to the fields and reused as fertilizer.We teamed up with Mr. Wakamatsu, who sympathized with our efforts to distill Ross beer and upcycle it into gin, to launch a distilled spirit project that utilizes the rind and Ross beer after it is squeezed in the ponkan juice processing process.
We were given20 kg of ponkan peels after the juice was squeezed, and we carefully removed the mesocarpto extract the ponkan aroma with less astringency and bitterness, which is used as a botanical in “Off Trail – Azeotrope” Beer Distilled Gin.In addition, a small amount of ponkan leaves and branches, which were sent along with the gin, are added to give it a green and woody aroma, as if you were in a ponkan field.Aged for 11 months in whiskey barrels to create a smooth, amber-colored cohesion, this product offers a fresh citrus aroma and a luxurious oak character that lurks in the back.
The label artwork is by ASOTA, a collage artist who also designs labels for Tangerine’s ponkan juice, and the world view of Off Trail – Azeotrope, which is different from the unified labels of the past, was created through a new encounter that we had this time. Serendipity=good fortune brought about by unexpected coincidences. We hope that when you take the time to look at the flavors and labels, you will feel the connection and coincidence of people who share the same values, as well as the thoughts of the producers.

【About Tangerine】
Using citrus grown in Yoshida-cho, Uwajima, Ehime, Tangerine produces and sells five kinds of fruit and vegetables and additive-free straight juice throughout the year. For those who have never been exposed to agriculture, it may not be associated with other industries. However, what we produce here is food that is familiar to everyone. We hope that by having people who usually make pictures and clothes draw the labels, people who feel that they have no connection to agriculture will see them and realize that agriculture is a familiar part of their lives.

［Off Trail – About Azeotrope]
Off Trail – About Azeotrope was born in October 2021 as a craft spirits brand that crosses over beer and spirits. As a derivative brand of Off Trail, an advanced beer brewing project that utilizes microorganisms and barrel aging methods, Azeotrope is taking on the challenge of creating innovative spirits and liqueurs. Focusing on Geneva-style spirits, in which malt-derived spirits are barrel-aged, the brand aims to bring a new wind to the spirits realm by utilizing the fermentation and barrel-aging know-how cultivated in the beer-making process. Azeotrope” refers to the phenomenon of “azeotrope” in which two liquids with different boiling points are mixed in a certain ratio and boil together while maintaining their compositional ratios. The name “Azeotrope” is an image of the symbiosis between beer and spirits, which is our main area of business. .
