Yokohama Beer Brewery (Kanagawa) announced in an official Instagram post that its new product, "Yokohama Saison," is scheduled for release on April 1.
The post also noted that saison is a style whose name means "season," and that it originated from Belgian farmers drinking it to quench their thirst between summer farm tasks. The flavor profile centers on a spicy, floral aroma. In addition, by using the increasingly attention-grabbing hop Krush, the beer is designed to deliver citrus- and tropical-fruit-like flavors.
The message presented as copy was, "Take a break in your hectic daily life." It is a proposal that links the saison's character, balancing lightness with layered aroma, to a modern drinking occasion.
On its official website, Yokohama Beer describes itself as "the local beer company with the longest history in Yokohama City." While continuing to brew with local roots, it has also built a track record of awards, including a silver medal in the German-style Altbier category at the World Beer Cup 2024, demonstrating its quality.
The new "Yokohama Saison" is drawing attention for how it will express the balance of "drinkability" and "distinctiveness" that a community-focused brewery does best, timed for spring. It is a release that saison fans, as well as drinkers who enjoy hop-driven fruity aromas, will want to check out.
