Yame Brewery is located at Bengara Village in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and has continued producing and selling craft beer since 1998. Its defining feature is brewing that makes use of local specialties, and this new “Plum Saison” is a seasonal product that clearly reflects that approach.

The beer now on sale uses plums that were also popular last year. According to the brewery’s official post, it is made with sweet and juicy plums from Yame, and by paying close attention to fermentation temperature, it has been finished so that the presence of the plums comes through more clearly. The style is saison, and it is introduced as an easy-drinking beer centered on refreshing tartness and fruit-derived aromas.

It is sold at the Bengara Village shop, the Yame Brewery store on Rakuten, and Yame Furusato Market. Because quantities are limited, anyone interested should check it soon. Using local fruit and reflecting the shape of the season directly in the beer, this release clearly conveys the strengths of Yame Brewery in a straightforward way.
