Far Yeast Brewing releases Onegai Si Muscat after its draft-only debut
Far Yeast Brewing released Far Yeast Onegai Si Muscat on July 8. The beer, originally created by staff at its Far Yeast Tokyo taproom and sold out as a draft-only release, now arrives in cans and kegs with a muscat-driven, dry Brut IPA profile.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about Far Yeast Brewing's Onegai Si Muscat finally hitting cans.
MugiWait, really? The name already grabs me, but a can release too means it blew up that much?
Hop BroExactly. It started as a keg-only beer dreamed up by staff at the Far Yeast Tokyo taproom in Gotanda, sold out, and then launched nationwide on July 8 in 350ml cans and 15L kegs.
MugiWhoa, but Brut IPA with Muscat sounds like a spell from a beer wizard exam!
Hop BroA Brut IPA is basically a champagne-like IPA with the sweetness stripped back so the finish feels crisp and light.
MugiWhat is that! I thought IPA always showed up scowling, and this one has full party energy?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. You get muscat juice aroma up front, restrained bitterness, and then a dry finish that snaps everything tidy.
MugiHold on, and Nelson Sauvin sounds like a celebrity sommelier. Is that a person or what?
Hop BroNope, it is a hop variety. It throws off white-grape-like aromatics, so it really boosts the muscat vibe in this beer.
MugiOhhh, then it sounds like an easy recommendation even for friends who do not usually drink beer!
Hop BroExactly. At 6.5% it still has some weight, but not heaviness, and it feels like something to chill tonight for sparkling wine fans too.
MugiI am fully in now. I want to watch that fine foam rise and go for a glass right now!
Release Background
Far Yeast Brewing, based in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi, released Far Yeast Onegai Si Muscat on July 8. The beer started as a staff-created limited draft release at Far Yeast Tokyo in Gotanda and sold out quickly. Following that response, the brewery is now rolling it out in 350ml cans and 15L kegs nationwide.
Beer Style and Flavor
The beer is a Brut IPA with Muscat. According to the brewery, the concept leans into a refined, champagne-like impression. When poured, it shows lively bubbles and an elegant aroma reminiscent of freshly pressed muscat grapes. Bitterness is kept low, while the finish stays crisp and dry.
That combination makes it approachable not only for hop-driven beer drinkers, but also for people who enjoy sparkling wine and lighter, more aromatic drinks. The muscat character is front and center, yet the beer remains clearly structured as a beer rather than a fruit cocktail.
