]Far Yeast Brewing, from its “Brewed with YAMANASHI” project, which aims to co-create with Yamanashi businesses and producers and coexist with the local community through beer, will release “Far Yeast ARCADIA,” a limited edition Smoked Helles Lager using malt smoked with selected branches from peach and cherry trees grown in the prefecture, on July 9, 2024 .Far Yeast ARCADIA” will be released on July 9, 2024 (Tue.) on a limited basis.
Utilizing Selected Branches from Local Peach and Cherry Fields
As everyone knows, Yamanashi Prefecture is a fruit kingdom, boasting the largest production of peaches in Japan. Yamanashi Prefecture is also the third largest producer of cherries in Japan, both of which are grown in large quantities in the Kofu Basin. Most of the branches from pruning peach and cherry trees during farming are burned in the fields as they are. With the aging of farmers, this is not only a work burden, but also an environmental issue in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. ARCADIA” was created last year in collaboration with “Smoke Shop Hibiki*” in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture, which is working to revitalize the local community by utilizing these pruned branches as smoking material.
ARCADIA” is a smoked heless lager with a gentle aroma made from malt smoked with thinned peach and cherry wood chips, which is the raw material of the beer.ARCADIA ” has been well received as a craft beer with a clear malt flavor with a hint of natural smoke flavor, and wonthe Gold Award at the International Beer Cup 2023held in October last year.It also won a gold medal at the International Beer Cup 2023 last October.

■A light, refreshing beer with a sweet, gentle aroma unique to fruit trees
Following on from last year, this year’s beer was brewed to be a “smoked beer” in the lager style that the brewer once drank and was amazed by the taste, which made him fall in love with the beer even more.
The word “smoked beer” is often associated with a strong aroma, but “ARCADIA,” made with malt smoked with chips made from selected peach and cherry branches from “Smoke Shop Hibiki,” has a gentle smokiness that does not interfere with the base lager. This year, we have made changes to the malt blend in order to enhance the enjoyment of the gentle smokiness. Hops were kept as low as possible to give the malt a clean sweetness, a slight smokiness, and a pleasant carbonation that does not interfere with these notes, enhancing drinkability and making it easy to finish the beer.
The Kofu Basin is often described as “Arcadia” in the springtime, when the area is covered in pink with peach and other fruit blossoms. Inspired by such a scene, the label design is designed to resemble pink smoke rising softly from the air with a faint fragrance.
While American-style IPAs remain popular in the Japanese craft beer scene, there is a growing segment of core beer fans who seek lagers, and in response, unique lager-style beers are appearing on the market. We recommend this product to those who want to discover new aspects of beer.
Far Yeast ARCADIA” will be available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store from 12:00 on July 9 (Tue), and will begin shipping sequentially on July 10 (Wed) to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide, as well as to those who purchase it through the official Web Store.
