Yellow Monkey Brewing to Release New Beer “UTSUROI” on April 4
Yokohama, Kanagawa-based Yellow Monkey Brewing will release its new beer, “UTSUROI,” on Saturday, April 4. This time, they are also offering a special food pairing, “Three kinds of obanzai,” matched to the beer, and the taproom has announced a change to the day’s business hours along with 10% off all food items.
Hop BroYokohama’s Yellow Monkey Brewing is putting out a new beer, UTSUROI, with a release on Saturday, April 4. And apparently they’re really fired up about it, calling it a beer that points to where they’re headed next.
MugiWhoa! Just the name UTSUROI already sounds so stylish, right? It feels like you’re drinking “transience,” and suddenly we’re in a literature class!
Hop BroExactly, and the brewery is positioning it as a forerunner of “Japanese style.” The real point of interest is how they express that Japanese atmosphere through beer.
MugiJapanese style, huh? Does that mean it has rice in it or something? It sounds complicated, but once you hear Japanese-style beer, it instantly gets interesting!
Hop BroBasically, instead of pushing hard with flashy hops, it’s often the kind of beer you slowly enjoy alongside food. This one is being paired with three kinds of obanzai, so it’s designed for lingering over the combination.
MugiObanzai! That’s cheating! Beer and Japanese food together makes it feel like, “Yes, today I’m drinking like a proper adult!”
Hop BroOn the day itself, the hours are a bit unusual: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. is private booking. They’re holding a bread class for children, then regular service starts at 12:00, which is very much the kind of city-open brewery they aim to be.
MugiWait, a bread class in the morning? At that point it’s less of a brewery and more like a community playground. I love it!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, all food is 10% off that day, so it’s a pretty great setup for snacking and drinking with UTSUROI. They’ve really lined up a solid reason to hit the taproom.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! If the food is 10% off, I’d add the obanzai too and make it one of those “this is not a one-drink day” kind of days!
Hop BroAnd since it’s in Yokohama, you can really see that open-to-the-city stance they talk about, connecting people through beer and sports. More than just a new release, it feels like a beer that shows what the brewery is feeling right now.
MugiWow, hearing it like that makes me want to drink it even more! If it’s a beer that captures what they’re feeling right now, I want to taste the flavor and the atmosphere of the taproom too!
Yellow Monkey Brewing will release its new beer, UTSUROI, on Saturday, April 4. On Instagram, the brewery described it as “a pint that will serve as a forerunner of the ‘Japanese style’ they will continue to pursue,” introducing it as a beer that points toward their future direction.
Along with it, a special food pairing called “Three kinds of obanzai” will also be served for UTSUROI. The setup is designed so guests can take their time enjoying the combination of beer and Japanese cuisine, making it a proposal that feels right at home in a brewery taproom.
On the day, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. will be reserved for private use, so the usual morning service will be suspended. A bread class for children is planned during the private reservation, and regular business will begin at 12:00 p.m. In addition, all food items will be 10% off, making it a day that should be easy to stop by for a meal as well.
Yellow Monkey Brewing is based in Yokohama City, and on its official website it states its mission as “connecting people through beer and sports, and spreading smiles.” Its aim to be a “living brewery” open to the city is reflected in this new release as well.
The post also noted that the label design was handled by @_zoedazoe, and the photography by @soooonakamura. While the post did not go into much detail about the flavor profile, it is a release worth watching as a beer that signals the style the brand is aiming to move toward next.
