Yatsugatake Brewery pre-launches collaborative beer 'Tora Hachi Beer' with TAIHU BREWING
Yatsugatake Brewery announced on Instagram that its collaboration beer, 'Tora Hachi Beer' Oolong Lager, with TAIHU BREWING will be pre-launched at Beer Kingdom, held from April 9 to 12 in front of LaLaport at Ebina Station West Exit. Made with Taiwanese oolong tea leaves, it will also come with a bottle-label bonus for purchasers.
Hop BroThe early tap opening of Tora Hachi Beer that Yatsugatake Brewery put together with TAIHU BREWING is really catching my attention.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Tora Hachi Beer sounds strong! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is Oolong Lager, and it uses Taiwanese oolong tea leaves. It sounds like the crispness of a lager is layered with the lively aroma of tea.
MugiWhat even is an oolong lager? If you put tea in it, does beer suddenly become fancy?
Hop BroBasically, it keeps the beer's core structure while adding a gentle aroma. It's not just bitterness; it creates a soft finish that spreads lightly in your mouth.
MugiAh, I get it! So it's one of those easy-drinking beers that also makes you feel nice because of the aroma! Best of both worlds!
Hop BroAnd even better, it will be pre-launched at Beer Kingdom from April 9 to 12 in front of LaLaport at Ebina Station West Exit. Being able to drink it there first is a strong move.
MugiWhen I hear 'pre-launch,' my heart starts running! And an event like Beer Kingdom with that limited-time feel is basically a festival already!
Hop BroAnother nice touch is that buyers get a bottle label as a bonus. The appeal of a collaboration is that it's fun not just to taste, but to take it home and look back on it later.
MugiA label too? That's almost unfair! It makes me happy that the memory stays even after the beer is gone.
Hop BroYatsugatake Brewery can also be enjoyed at Moeginomura ROCK in Kiyosato, and they support growler takeout too. Their strength as a locally rooted brewery gives the collaboration even more credibility.
MugiIf this is the last collaboration brew, that makes it even more interesting! A glass at the venue followed by taking the label home sounds completely drink-worthy!
Yatsugatake Brewery announced on Instagram the pre-launch of its collaboration beer, 'Tora Hachi Beer' Oolong Lager, with TAIHU BREWING. The venue is Beer Kingdom, held from Thursday, April 9 to Sunday, April 12 in front of LaLaport at Ebina Station West Exit.
According to the post, 'Tora Hachi Beer' is made with Taiwanese oolong tea leaves and was crafted to feature a lively character, gentle aroma, and a flavor that spreads through the mouth. In addition, buyers will receive a bottle label as a gift, and the label design itself reflects the playful spirit that makes this collaboration special.
Yatsugatake Brewery is based in Kiyosato, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and is operated by Moeginomura Co., Ltd. At the attached Moeginomura ROCK, visitors can enjoy draft beer, and the brewery also supports growler takeout, continuing a model that emphasizes both on-site drinking and takeout. This announcement is being noticed as part of that locally rooted activity, combined with a collaboration with an outside brewery.
Another factor that makes this release stand out is that it is said to be the final collaborative brew by TAIHU BREWING's head brewer. As a single beer shaped by the character of its ingredients and the background of joint brewing, it looks like it will only add to the anticipation for the early tap opening at the venue.
