As an initiative tied to donations supporting efforts to protect rivers and the natural environment, the flavor has also been updated.
Hop BroToday I'm introducing the fourth installment of the collaborative beer from Far Yeast Brewing in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture.
MugiWhoa, it's already the fourth installment!? BACK TO RIVER sounds cool just from the title!
Hop BroThat's right, it's out on May 20 in limited quantities. This time, they've refined the recipe from the first release into an American pale ale.
MugiAmerican pale ale? The foreign words are suddenly piling up! What's different about a pale ale?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's the kind with a light, easy-drinking body and hop aroma you can enjoy. This one is 4.5%, so it's designed to go down smoothly outdoors too.
MugiI see! But there was also that IBU number. Is IBU 20 strong?
Hop BroIt's a rough measure of bitterness, and you can think of it as moderately bitter. It also includes Citra, Mosaic Cryo, and Dynaboost varieties, so the citrus and tropical notes come forward more than before.
MugiWow, that's fancy! And to think beer can also support nature conservation, that makes me a little emotional! A portion of sales donated is a great system.
Hop BroExactly. A key part of this beer is that proceeds are returned to activities that protect rivers and the natural environment. The desire to protect the headwaters is properly carried through in the flavor too.
MugiNow I want to drink it! Where can I buy it? If there's a official store first release, I need to hurry!
Hop BroIn addition to the official store 'BACK TO RIVER,' it will also roll out gradually at liquor shops, beer bars, and restaurants nationwide. It's a bottle that suits drinking with friends while thinking about the river and toasting together.
MugiAll right, it's decided! Tonight, let's go look for a glass full of bright citrus flavor and make this story the appetizer!
The fourth release, with a desire to protect headwaters
Far Yeast Brewing, based in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, will sell in limited quantities from May 20 the fourth installment of its collaborative beer 'BACK TO RIVER,' brewed jointly with Trailheads Co., Ltd.

- IBU: 20
- Hops: Citra, Comet, Centennial, Mosaic Cryo, Mosaic Dynaboost, Citra Dynaboost

A portion of sales will go toward environmental conservation
This beer is not just a seasonal limited release; it is also a product linked to efforts to pass rivers and nature on to the next generation. A portion of product sales is expected to be donated to activities that protect rivers and the natural environment. Far Yeast Brewing has continued not only to share the appeal of craft beer, but also to carry out initiatives rooted in local nature and culture. Once again, that stance is reflected both in the beer's design and in the project itself.
Where to buy it
Sales will begin gradually through the official 'BACK TO RIVER' store, as well as liquor retailers, beer bars, and restaurants nationwide. It is likely to draw attention from outdoor-loving beer fans as a beer you will want to enjoy with friends while imagining the scenery of the headwaters and time spent playing by the river.
