Far Yeast Brewing releases limited Peach Haze with Yamanashi-grown Hakuhō peaches
Far Yeast Brewing began selling a limited release, Far Yeast Peach Haze, on August 27. The fruit-forward pale ale uses Hakuhō peaches from Yamanashi and combines local produce with haze-oriented yeast and hops.
Hop BroI need to tell you about Far Yeast Peach Haze. Far Yeast Brewing released it as a seasonal beer made with Hakuto peaches from Yamanashi.
MugiWhat! Three hundred kilos of peaches in one beer? That's not a release, that's a peach parade!
Hop BroHere's the fun part: it uses Hakuto peaches from Peach Senka Yamashita in Yamanashi City, known for juicy sweetness. The style is a Fruited Hazy Pale Ale.
MugiWait, what is hazy, exactly? Does that mean cloudy? Like my brain on Monday mornings?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It means a soft, cloudy mouthfeel, and with oats in the grain bill it comes across smoother and juicier.
MugiOooh! So does it drink like a peach smoothie? And not too bitter? I even spotted IBU 10 on it!
Hop BroThat's the key. IBU 10 is very low, and at 5.5% ABV it should stay easy to drink. Then Pomona yeast adds citrus and tropical aromas.
MugiPo-Pomona!? Even the yeast has a stage name? Craft beer really is full of celebrities.
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. Yeast is like the aroma director. Then Idaho 7 Cryo, Citra, and Nectaron come in as a triple dry-hop lineup to layer citrus over the peach.
MugiWow, that sounds like the kind of beer that wins before the first sip. If it's online store only, I want to grab some and toast with you.
Hop BroAnd it comes in 350ml cans and 15L kegs, brewed at Genryu Brewery. A glass of Yamanashi summer like this is hard to pass up.
MugiDecision made. This peach-and-hop duet is exactly what I want tonight. My mouth is officially on Peach Haze standby!
Far Yeast Brewing, based in Kosuge, Yamanashi, has launched a limited beer made with Hakuhō peaches from Yamanashi City. The release is part of the brewery's "Brewed with YAMANASHI" initiative, which focuses on beers made with local agricultural ingredients.
The beer uses 300 kg of fresh peaches from Peache Sennka Yamashita, a local peach farm. Hakuhō is known for its juicy character, strong sweetness, and soft texture. The beer is a Fruited Hazy Pale Ale with 5.5% ABV and 10 IBU, brewed to highlight both fruit character and a smooth body.
To build the aroma, the brewery used the yeast strain Pomona, which is often seen in Hazy IPAs and brings citrus and tropical notes. Dry hopping with Idaho7 Cryo, Citra, and Nectaron adds another layer of tropical fruit and citrus character, supporting the natural peach aroma.
Far Yeast Peach Haze is sold only through the official online store and will not be distributed through general retail channels. It is available in 350 ml cans and 15 L kegs, brewed at Far Yeast Brewing's Genryu Brewery in Kosuge, Yamanashi.
