Far Yeast Brewing is pleased to announce its first participation in the Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day® product,Far Yeast Right Step, a limited-edition brew that will go on sale on Tuesday, March 12.

Toast to the spirit of acceptance that transcends gender with craft beer!

In 2024, we will participate in Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day® for the first time.
Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day® was started by the Pink Boots Society in the U.S. to raise awareness of the role of women in the beer industry in conjunction with International Women’s Day, which was designated by the United Nations. This is an initiative to raise awareness of the role of women in the beer industry.
Since our founding, “diversity and inclusion” has been an important value of our company. We believe that just as diversifying beer leads to an increase in the value of beer culture, diversifying the composition of our team and the way we work will also lead to the development of the brewery.

We want to put these values into our beer, and we hope that those who drink our beer will become aware of women and non-binary individuals in the craft beer community, and understand that we are creating an environment where all members of the community can showcase their talents without being limited by gender. We took on this challenge.

A gorgeous and spicyRye IPA that expresses the “strength” of women.

The Far Yeast Brewing Women’s Team was responsible for this project. Two female brewers, Ellen, who came to Japan from Taiwan on a working holiday last July and joined FYB, and Alessia, who came to Japan from Italy last November as a guest brewer, were the main members of the team, and female staff from various occupations were involved from planning to brewing.
The style chosen was a strong Rye IPA using YAKIMA CHIEF HOPS® “Pink Boots Blend 2023,” a blend created for the PinkBootsCollaboration Brew Day®.The slightly spicy rye-derived flavor and the intense tropical flavor ofPink Boots Blend’s Ahtanum, El Dorado, HBC 638, Idaho 7, and the earthy aroma of Sabro and five different hops evoke a gorgeous, yet powerful woman.
This product represents our commitment to take the right step in raising awareness of women and non-binary people in craft brewing through this project.The gorgeous label design was created by Naoko Kamiyama, an illustrator living in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture. The motif incorporates mimosa, rye, and hops, which are symbols of International Women’s Day, as well as flowers associated with the countries of origin of the members involved in this project: Italy, Taiwan, and Japan.

Far Yeast Brewing has collaborated with BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO, a natural roastery born in the San Francisco Bay Area, to produce Far Yeast Bicycle Coffee Lager. The limited-edition brew will begin shipping on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.

The collaboration with BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO has become an annual tradition since the two breweries first teamed up for “Far Yeast Bicycle Coffee IPA” in 2017, and this year marks the eighth year of the collaboration.While the majority of coffee beers are black beers such as porters and stouts, we wanted to pursue the potential of coffee in a different style, and in recent years, we have been challenging ourselves to create uniqueIPAs, saisons, golden ales, and bread pale ales with coffee in Off TrailIn recent years, we have continued to take on the challenge of creating unique products.

The latest product is based on our traditional “Vienna Lager,” which is our first brew, and is infused with coffee beans blended and roasted at BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO for this product. After conducting steeping tests with several different blends, we blended 50% each of medium-roasted Mexican and Ethiopian beans that best balanced the aroma of fresh coffee beans with a heavy roasted flavor.

The result is a clean, drinkable marriage of simple lager and aromatic coffee.

Far Yeast Bicycle Coffee Lager” will be available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store from 12:00 p.m. onMarch 5 (Tuesday), and will be shipped to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide from March 6 (Wednesday).

Far Yeast Brewing (Head office: Kosuge-mura, Yamanashi Prefecture; Representative Director: Shiro Yamada; hereinafter referred to as “the Company”)will begin shipping Far Yeast Malz Walzer, a traditional Vienna lager with wheat as the main ingredient, from Wednesday, March 6, 2012 (limited brewing). The shipment will begin on Wednesday, March 6.

Rediscovering the diversity and appeal of beer by challenging traditional styles
The IPA style, which has been around for a long time in the craft beer scene, has captivated drinkers in Japan and has steadily increased the number of beer fans. In response to the current trends in the world, we have released many products, such as making Juicy IPA a standard item and taking on the challenge of making limited editions of various IPA styles.

In the midst of all this, we have once again set our sights on brewing products that embody our mission of “Democratizing Beer – Reclaiming the diversity and richness of beer once again. We have released lager styles with a twist, such as hoppy lager, smoked lager, and second fermentation lager, but this time we tried the traditional “Vienna Lager” for the first time in order to rediscover the charm of beer for ourselves.

Vienna Lager, a simple beer that lets you enjoy the taste of wheat
The main ingredient is barley. Vienna Lager, born in Vienna, the capital of Austria, is characterized by a deep amber color with a reddish hue derived from Vienna malt, and a toasty, nutty malt flavor. It is not often seen in Japan, but there is a theory that it is a light-colored lager produced earlier than Pilsner, and it is a style with a long history.

We aimed to create depth of flavor by using several varieties of malt, mainly Vienna malt, which is also used for the first time in our company. For hops, we focused on noble hops* and lavishly used two varieties, Tettnanger and Saaz. They produce a mild yet herbal and spicy aroma and a pleasant bitterness that balances the malt.

It is a lager with a clean and pleasant taste that reminds the drinker of the phrase“beer” written in the name of“barley wine“. It is a lager with a clean and pleasant taste that makes you imagine the wheat in the field dancing gracefully in the spring breeze.

*What are Noble Hops?
Noble Hop is a traditional hop used for beer brewing in Europe since ancient times. It is characterized by its clean bitterness and refreshing aroma. There are four types of “noble hops”: Saaz, Hallertau Mittelfrueh, Spalter, and Tettnanger.

Far Yeast Malz Walzer”will be available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store from March 5 (Tue)at 12:00 p.m. Purchases at the official Web Store and shipments to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin sequentially on March 6 (Wed).

In addition, “Far Yeast Bicycle Coffee Lager,” a collaboration beer with“BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO“that is arranged by macerating coffee beans in this Vienna lager base, will be released at the same time.

Far Yeast Tomachela, a vegetable ale made with tomatoes grown in Yamanashi Prefecture , will go on sale on December 12 (Tuesday) for a limited time.

A local product made in cooperation with farmers in Yamanashi Prefecture
Far Yeast Brewing, which has a brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture,has been focusing on brewing beer in collaboration with farmers and businesses in the prefecture in order to communicate the charm of the region through its products.
This time, in collaboration with farmers in the prefecture, we will release “Tomato Ale”, an evolution of “Omoiro Tomato Ale” released in 2021. Omoiro Tomato Ale” is a beer made by upcycling additive-free tomato juice that was lost due to the Corona disaster, as part of an initiative with Ricopel Corporation, an agricultural production corporation in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This unique product has been highly acclaimed both internally and externally, and is now being revived.

In addition to Ricopel, with whom we have teamed up since the previous product, we also collaborated with Yoda Farm Co. in Chuo City, and used plenty of fresh tomatoes in this new product.

A richly flavored vegetable ale with the deliciousness of tomatoes and a variety of spices
Tomachiera” uses 550 kg of fresh tomatoes from Ricopel and Yoda Farm. The freshness and tartness of the raw tomatoes were brought out without overcooking. The recipe is based on the previous “Omoiro Tomato Ale,” but with an improved balance of spices. The tomato flavor is emphasized with celery, basil, and shiitake mushrooms, while citrus flavors from Citra hops and coriander and a number of spices add color to this unique and deeply flavored vegetable ale.

The name “Tomachiera” was inspired by the Mexican beer cocktail “michelada,” which is made by adding tomatoes and “chela” (beer). It is a unique product that makes you feel as if you are eating a tomato dish with plenty of spice. We recommend drinking it snow style with salt on the rim of the glass, or sprinkling a few drops of Tabasco on top if you like.

Tomatomatella” willbe available in limited quantities at the official Far Yeast Brewing Web Store fromDecember 12 (Tue.)at 12:00 p.m. Purchases at the official Web Store and shipments to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin sequentially on December 13 (Wed.).
