Democratizing Beer

Rediscovering the diversity and richness of beer



Beer has been enjoyed for thousands of years and has developed as an integral part of cultures around the world.
However, while the industrialization that occurred in the last century succeeded in popularizing beer around the world, it also gave beer a uniform and monotonous impression as a "yellow carbonated drink."
As a result, beer has become a mass-produced product where the amount of promotional money invested in a single product is what matters, rather than the philosophy or ingenuity of the brewer, and it has become a drink with less diversity than wine or sake.

The "craft beer" movement, which began slowly in the 1970s, can be seen as a movement to bring monotonous beer back into the hands of the masses and allow them to enjoy a wide variety of beers.
Our mission is to bring diversity back to beer and "democratize" it by delivering unique beers to the world.

Our company's mission is to "Democratize beer" - to "restore the diversity and richness of beer, which has become a standardized mass-produced product due to industrialization" - and this is our enduring reason for existence.
Based on this mission, we have defined our vision for the company five years from now, the management strategy for achieving this goal, and the tasks of each employee to carry out the strategy.


Vision 2030


Co-creating new value with the local community,
Surprise the world


To ensure that craft beer remains a diverse and enriching culture, we use our wisdom, creativity, and technology to translate the local nature and produce, as well as the passion of the people who live there, into the "global language" of beer, and offer surprises that people around the world have never experienced before.

Values


To achieve our mission and vision, Far Yeast Brewing values ​​the fundamental spirit of craft beer and operates our business while always keeping four values ​​in mind. Craft beer is like a global community, connecting people and continuing to disseminate new value. We hope to play an important role in this community.


Coexistence with the local community


We co-create value through beer with the people of Kosuge Village, where the brewery is located, as well as producers and businesses in Yamanashi Prefecture, and contribute to the development of the local economy and the creation of a sustainable city.


Pride as a maker


This means being actively involved in all processes related to the product, not only by applying the passion and tireless research and effort of each individual, but also by taking responsibility for the beer until it reaches the customer and is drunk, and at the same time, ``taking a serious approach to beer.''


Respect for diverse values


Beer is a "global language" enjoyed all over the world. Just like the craft beer community, where people from all over the world come together around beer, we also foster an environment where we accept diversity and respect each other's gender, race, nationality, and other backgrounds.


Contributing to craft beer culture


Craft beer has developed based on a free and active community, like an open platform. By contributing to the craft beer community, we aim to achieve a mission that we could not achieve alone: ​​the democratization of beer.



behavioral guidelines


We understand that everything starts from the customer's perspective and that quality is at the heart of everything.

To avoid creating products that are self-indulgent, we always start our ideas from the customer's perspective. Quality is determined by the degree to which we satisfy customer needs, and we maintain a quality-oriented attitude in all our work.

Emphasize continuous learning and growth

"From results to growth" We place emphasis on growth in order to produce continuous results.
"From how to do things to how to be" - Value attitude over technique.

Increase the quantity and quality of trial and error

"From thinking to trying" Try (act and practice) for better thinking.
"From correct answers to answers" - Instead of brandishing the correct answer, have your own answer.
