What is Off Trail?
“Off Trail” is a brand that challenges new possibilities for 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 use 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.
