Far Yeast Brewing to Release 'Far Yeast Peach Haze' Made with Yamanashi-Grown Peaches on April 15
On April 15, Far Yeast Brewing began selling Far Yeast Peach Haze, a hazy-style fruit pale ale made with 500 kg of peaches from Peacha Senka Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It emphasizes peach aroma and a juicy mouthfeel.
Hop BroToday we're talking about Far Yeast Brewing's Far Yeast Peach Haze, which arrived on April 15. It uses a full 500 kg of peaches from Peacha Senka Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City, so it really feels like a beer made for the season.
MugiWait, 500 kg of peaches!? With that much in there, isn't it basically a peach juice uprising?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The style is a hazy fruit pale ale, with a cloudy appearance and juicy character front and center. And it's nice that the brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, makes local ingredients the star.
MugiHazy means cloudy beer, right? That sounds like it failed somehow!
Hop BroNot a failure. It's intentionally cloudy, and the Pomona yeast creates a smooth mouthfeel. The haze in the appearance also helps wrap the aroma and fruitiness in a softer way.
MugiOhhh! And it has hops too, right? It sounds like it might smell even more intense than just peaches!
Hop BroExactly. The dry hops are Idaho7 Cryo, Citra, and Nectaron. They layer citrus and tropical notes over the peach aroma, so with one sip you think, 'Ah, the season is here.'
MugiWhat is that, a two-stage aroma attack? Peach, orange, tropical stuff too? That's so much information my brain wants to drink the beer!
Hop BroThe alcohol content is 5.0%, and the IBU is 10, so it's also a point that it's easygoing and not too bitter. It comes in 350 ml cans and 15 L kegs, so it's easy to enjoy both at home and in bars.
MugiAnd I like that it carries on the Yamanashi support flow that's been going since 2020. A regular beer that's been nurtured every year makes you want to cheer it on!
Hop BroIt's shipping in stages from April 16, and the online store starts on April 17, so if you spot it, earlier is better. This is the kind of beer that makes you want to get ahead of spring with the aroma of Yamanashi peaches.
MugiI already want to drink it! Today I'd love to toast with this peach hazy and kick off spring with a soft, sweet start!
Far Yeast Brewing, based in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, began selling Far Yeast Peach Haze on April 15 as part of its "Brewed with YAMANASHI" initiative, which makes use of local Yamanashi ingredients. It is a hazy-style fruit pale ale made with 500 kg of peaches from Peacha Senka Yamashita, a peach farm in Yamanashi City.
This beer was born in July 2020 as the first release of the "Yamanashi Support Project," and has been brewed and sold every year since. From 2022, it was positioned as a spring-summer staple, and in 2024 it was renewed as "Brewed with YAMANASHI," a project that highlights co-creation with the region. This bottle reflects Far Yeast Brewing's ongoing effort to translate Yamanashi agricultural products into beer and share them consistently.
On the recipe side, the brewery uses Pomona yeast, also used in Hazy IPAs, to create haze and a smooth mouthfeel. It also dry-hops with Idaho7 Cryo, Citra, and Nectaron, layering citrus and tropical-fruit nuances over the peach aroma. The specs are 5.0% ABV and 10 IBU. It will be available in 350 ml cans and 15 L kegs.
Shipments to liquor retailers, restaurants, and beer bars nationwide are scheduled to begin in stages from April 16, while shipments from the official online store are scheduled to begin in stages from April 17. As a seasonal product that feels distinctly like Yamanashi, the peach-producing region, it is likely to attract attention again this year.
