Far Yeast Brewing releases canned 'Onegai Si Muscat' Brut IPA
The limited beer first created at Far Yeast Tokyo has been released in cans and kegs nationwide. Brewed with muscat juice and Nelson Sauvin hops, it aims for a sparkling-wine-like, dry finish.
Hop BroI have to tell you about Far Yeast Brewing's Onegai Si Muscat going nationwide in cans.
MugiWait, the taproom-only release is something I can grab at home now?
Hop BroExactly. The beer that got popular at Far Yeast Tokyo in Gotanda went on sale nationwide in keg and can on July 8, 2026.
MugiOkay, but Brut IPA sounds less like beer and more like a final boss with a wine list!
Hop BroMore Champagne than boss fight. It's built to finish crisp and dry, so the sweetness drops back and the aroma pops.
MugiWhat is that! An IPA that acts like wine, plus Muscat juice? That sounds unfairly aromatic.
Hop BroThen they pair it with Nelson Sauvin, which adds white-grape character that locks right into the Muscat. It's 6.5% ABV with 20 IBU, so the bitterness stays fairly soft.
MugiHold on, when you say IBU my brain switches into science class mode and closes the tasting menu.
Hop BroIBU is just a bitterness scale. At 20, it's much gentler than a hop bomb. And because it uses Muscat, it's sold under Japanese tax law as happoshu classification.
MugiFrom a brewery in Kosuge, Yamanashi, with that North-European-style climate, all the way to store shelves nationwide... okay, that is kind of romantic.
Hop BroThat part feels very Far Yeast. They took a popular limited pour and opened it up to more people. An IPA that drinks like sparkling wine is hard to ignore.
MugiI am fully sold. My brain is now just grapes and bubbles. Tonight I can only picture a can in hand, so please tell me we're finding this beer.
From taproom special to nationwide release
Far Yeast Brewing released `Onegai Si Muscat` in both kegs and cans on July 8, 2026. The beer was originally created by staff at Far Yeast Tokyo in Gotanda as a limited taproom offering, and it quickly built a following. Turning it into a canned product makes the beer much easier to find beyond the taproom.
A Brut IPA built around muscat
The style is `Brut IPA with Muscat`. It uses muscat juice and Nelson Sauvin hops, with an ABV of 6.5% and an IBU of 20. The recipe keeps bitterness low and pushes fruit aroma to the front, aiming for a crisp, dry finish that can feel closer to sparkling wine than to a classic hop-forward IPA. Because muscat is used, the beer is classified as happoshu under Japanese tax law.
Brewed in Kosuge, Yamanashi
Far Yeast Brewing’s Genryu Brewery is located in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture. The company has built its reputation on a mix of Far Yeast core beers, limited releases, `KAGUA`, and `Off Trail`, while using regional ingredients and a distinctly original brewing approach. This latest canned release fits that pattern: a taproom-born beer made more widely available without losing its sense of place.
