Yame Brewery resumes taking reservations for craft beer brewing experiences; original labels also available
Yame Brewery in Yame City, Fukuoka, has resumed accepting reservations for its craft beer brewing experience. Participants can experience the process from recipe creation to malt crushing, and after fermentation the beer is bottled and shipped about two months later. Original labels are also available, making it suitable as a gift for anniversaries and other special occasions.
Hop BroYame Brewery has resumed accepting reservations. It's a pretty hands-on experience that leans heavily toward the brewing side, from recipe creation to malt crushing.
MugiWhoa! Malt crushing? You mean smashing the grain with a mill!? That's less like making beer and more like a science experiment!
Hop BroExactly. Crushing the malt makes it easier to extract the sugars. From there it moves on to fermentation, and then it's shipped about two months later, so it's the kind of experience where even the waiting is part of the fun.
MugiWow. I'd probably get antsy every day wondering, 'Is it ready yet?' And you can even make an original label, so it really feels like a commemorative gift!
Hop BroMaking it a bottle for a birthday or reunion is a pretty stylish touch. Yame Brewery has been manufacturing and selling since 1998, and one of the nice things about it is how much it values its ties to the local community.
MugiWhat? Beer with Yame tea and fruit? Just hearing that sounds delicious. Do tea and beer even get along?
Hop BroThat's the thing - if the aroma is put together well, it really comes together. Creating a locally distinctive flavor is one of Yame Brewery's strengths, and they also make use of grapes and seasonal fruit.
MugiWhoa! And with up to six people per group, you can take your time in a small setting. Sounds like you could really focus on the beer instead of a big noisy crowd!
Hop BroReservations are accepted by phone or email, Tuesdays and Sundays are closed, and sessions start at 10:00 a.m. As a beer bar owner, I'm interested in an experience that lets you feel things from the brewer's point of view.
MugiJust reading about it makes me want a drink! If you can enjoy the fun of brewing itself, then I want to toast with the finished beer, and now I want to visit Yame Brewery too!
Reservation Resumes
Yame Brewery announced in an Instagram post on April 2 that it had resumed accepting reservations for its craft beer brewing experience. In the experience, participants can follow actual brewing steps, from recipe creation to malt crushing.
After the fermentation period, the beer is bottled and shipped about two months later, so it is an experiential program in which you can enjoy the time spent brewing while waiting for the finished product. Original labels can also be created, allowing each bottle to be tailored for birthdays, reunions, and other commemorative occasions.
