Far Yeast Brewing will release “Off Trail MANGOSTRUCK”, the 48th beer from its innovative “Off Trail” brand, on Tuesday, September 24th.

Off Trail MANGOSTRUCK is a collaboration with Australian brewery Deeds Brewing!Mangostruck” is a collaboration beer with Australian brewery Deeds Brewing, which was realized through participation in “Hops on Oz,” a collaboration event between Japanese and Australian breweries.Based on the idea of using distinctive Japanese and Australian ingredients in each other’s beers, Off Trail decided to use mangoes, which are well-known in Australia.

The base beerforMANGOSTRUCKis a 10-month aged sour ale using Kviek yeast for the main fermentation, and to prevent the characteristic sourness of Kviek from becoming a one-dimensional flavor, a 14-month aged spiced ale and a 12-month aged smoked ale with the nuances of dashi (Japanese soup stock) were blended to add complexity . The blend adds complexity while reinforcing the body with umami flavors. By adding mango puree, we aimed to create a well-balanced flavor that is juicy, clean, and easy to drink, but with just the right amount of complexity and mouthfeel.

What is Off Trail?
Off Trail is a brand that challenges the new possibilities of craft beer, created in November 2019 as a follow-up to the two brands KAGUA and Far Yeast. KAGUA was named after the image of “Off Trail,” or the “unpaved road,” which is a departure from the “well-paved road. The brand is committed to brewing beer that makes the most of microorganisms other than beer yeast through the barrel aging method, in which beer is aged in barrels used for wine, sake, and whiskey. Barrel-aged base beers have a strong character depending on the environment in the barrels, and the chemical reactions that occur in nature produce rich and complex aromas. To match the character of the base beer, we try to create unique flavors by blending seasonal fruits such as grapes and peaches, as well as regional specialties.
