Far Yeast Hinoki Lager

Japanese Lager made with “hinoki” (Japanese cypress) thinned to preserve the water sources in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture.
Kosuge Village in Yamanashi Prefecture, where the Genryu Brewery is located, is surrounded by many cedar and cypress trees. The thinned wood produced by thinning to protect the healthy growth and ecosystem of these rich forests is a renewable resource.
Tsukuruza Corporation, which proposes an affluent lifestyle through the use of wood, a renewable resource in Kosuge Village, processed 14 kg of hinoki wood into wood chips, which were then used to flavor the beer. In addition, Zertz hops, which are known for their herbal aroma, were added to create a refreshing lager reminiscent of forests and trees.

Shipments of “Far Yeast Hinoki Ragaa” to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin sequentially on Wednesday, March 19, and those to Far Yeast Brewing’s official online store will begin sequentially on Thursday, March 21.
