Brewery

 

We would like to introduce you to our origin brewery.

Yamanashi Kosuge Genryu Brewery

Beer born in the great outdoors at the source of the Tama River, about two hours from central Tokyo

A cold climate perfect for brewing beer

Our Genryu Brewery is located in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, which borders Tokyo but has a climate similar to that of Northern Europe, where many traditional microbreweries are located.
Located in a place with the perfect temperature for beer fermentation, we are working on brewing a variety of beer styles, including the Far Yeast Tokyo series.

Rich nature and clean water from the source of the Tama River

Kosuge Village has a population of about 700 people and is a naturally rich area with over 90% of the village covered in forest. It is also the headwaters of the Tama River, one of Tokyo's water sources.
The beer brewed at Genryu Brewery is brewed using the clean water from the source of the Tama River.

Connecting with the local community, coexisting and co-creating

In 2020, Far Yeast Brewing moved its headquarters to Kosuge Village, where the brewery is located.
Since opening in 2017, we have collaborated with Kosuge Village, businesses within the village, and businesses and producers in Yamanashi Prefecture, but from now on we will value these connections even more and aim for co-creation.

De Graal Brewery, Belgium (contract brewing)

A unique and original beer that is an adaptation of traditional Belgian style

Contract brewing of our first original brand "KAGUA"

Starting from the idea of ​​"We want people all over the world to enjoy a beer that complements Japanese cuisine," KAGUA was brewed at the De Graal brewery in Belgium using our original recipe. De Graal prides itself on its high quality, and even now that they have their own brewery, they continue to outsource the brewing of KAGUA.

Belgian style inherited by FarYeast

Following "KAGUA," the Far Yeast Tokyo series, as well as the beers we brew at our own brewery, are influenced by traditional Belgian styles, such as in-bottle secondary fermentation. Our diverse and original beers are based on Belgian styles, incorporating the latest American craft trends, while constantly improving to create unique beers tailored to Japanese and regional tastes.
