Yame Brewery to Soon Release "Plum Saison" Made with Yame-Grown Plums
Yame Brewery (Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture) announced in an Instagram post on March 29 that sales of its "Plum Saison," made with plums grown in Yame, will begin soon. Building on last year’s well-received fruit craft beer, the beer is said to have been finished with careful attention to fermentation temperature.
Hop BroToday's topic is Yame Brewery's Plum Saison, right? They posted on Instagram on March 29 that it would go on sale soon.
MugiWait, they're turning plums into beer? That looks like a relative of fruit juice, but is it really beer?
Hop BroOf course it's beer. It's made in a saison style, and the key point is that it uses sweet and juicy plums from Yame.
MugiWhat's a saison? It sounds way too stylish all of a sudden. Does it mean something like a drink for taking a break from farm work?
Hop BroBasically, it's a dry and refreshing Belgian-style beer. When you add fruit character to that, you get something light on the palate but with a strong aroma.
MugiOh wow! And it says they were careful about the fermentation temperature too. That feels like a science experiment, and it's exciting!
Hop BroThe thing is, the way yeast behaves changes with temperature, so the impression of the plums changes quite a bit too. What's exciting here is that they finished it so it would taste even more like plums.
MugiI see! So they weren't just going for sweetness, they were thinking about how to bring out the aroma too. Beer is way deeper than I thought!
Hop BroYame Brewery itself has been brewing since 1998. It's a brewery attached to Bengara Mura, and they've been very good at turning local ingredients into beer.
MugiAnd they did Yame tea and grapes too! Yame Brewery is basically a treasure chest of local ingredients!
Hop BroExactly. This time they're saying product information will be announced later, but we're definitely waiting for follow-up news. This is the kind of thing that makes you clear space in the fridge and wait.
MugiJust imagining it makes me want to drink it... I can't wait to toast with a bottle that combines Yame's fruit and brewing expertise!
