Yotei Brewing launches TWIN PEAKS BIKE PARK Pale Ale with NAMBA
Yotei Brewing, the family-run brewery in Niseko, has put its collaboration beer with the Niseko Area Mountain Bike Association (NAMBA) on sale. TWIN PEAKS BIKE PARK Pale Ale is built on A Greener World Pale Ale and uses Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo Cryo hops.
Hop BroNiseko just dropped a very good collab: TWIN PEAKS BIKE PARK Pale Ale. Yotei Brewing teamed up with NAMBA for a pale ale built for that first sip after a ride.
MugiWait, a mountain bike beer collab? That sounds like a drink specifically made to high-five your tired legs!
Hop BroExactly. NAMBA is the Niseko Area Mountain Bike Association, the crew helping support the local trails. And the base beer is A Greener World Pale Ale, one of Yotei Brewing’s popular regulars.
MugiOoh, but what does built on a base mean here? Like they started with a good soup stock and said, "Nice, now make it hoppier"?
Hop BroThat’s basically it. Then they layered in Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo Cryo, so the aroma really pops while the finish stays easy after trail time.
MugiHold on, what is Cryo? That sounds less like beer and more like a special move in a snow anime!
Hop BroSimple version: Cryo is a hop product that concentrates the best aromatic parts, so you get more aroma with less grassy roughness. Think of it as concentrated hop perfume.
MugiOkay, that I get! So it drinks easy, but your nose still gets a hop fireworks show. I’m basically cheers-ing in my head already!
Hop BroAnd the good part goes beyond flavor. Part of the sales is donated to NAMBA for trail maintenance, new sections, and the local MTB network. It’s basically drinking for the trails.
MugiAnd the label has a torii and Mt. Yotei at the Twin Peaks Bike Park entrance, right? That’s basically Niseko in a can, and I love the drama.
Hop BroExactly, and Joe Scott’s illustration really seals it. It feels very Yotei Brewing: a beer born from thinking about what you want after snow or trail time, the perfect outdoor closer.
MugiThen it’s settled. I don’t need to bike to want one, and you don’t need another lecture to order one. We both want to pour it right now.
Yotei Brewing is a family-run brewery based in Niseko, Hokkaido, surrounded by mountains and open landscapes. It was started with the idea of making beer worth drinking after a day in the snow, and it still focuses on hop-forward beers such as Pale Ales and IPAs.
The new TWIN PEAKS BIKE PARK Pale Ale is a collaboration with NAMBA, the Niseko Area Mountain Bike Association. It is based on the brewery's A Greener World Pale Ale and combines Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo Cryo hops, with the goal of making a beer that fits naturally after a ride on the trails.
The label was designed by Sapporo-based illustrator Joe Scott (@joekkaido). Inspired by the entrance to Twin Peaks Bike Park, the artwork places a torii gate in front of Mt. Yotei, turning a familiar Niseko landscape into the package design.
A portion of sales will be donated to NAMBA, supporting trail maintenance, new features and the continued development of Niseko's MTB network. It is a collaboration built not only around beer, but also around the local riding community that surrounds it.
