Yatsugatake Brewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture, has announced a serving event for its collaboration beer "Roggen Helles." In the post, it says a launch party and TTO (tap takeover) for the three-company collaboration beer will be held on Saturday, April 4 from 12:00 at Serverland Akasaka-Mitsuke, and on Sunday, April 5 from 14:00 at Scissors Akihabara.

The star of this release is "Roggen Helles," a beer that evokes a rye-based style. Yatsugatake Brewery is a craft brewery based in Hokuto, Yamanashi, offering a wide lineup from regionally rooted standard products to limited releases. That it actively pushes joint projects with other shops and partners as an extension of its day-to-day brewing is very much in keeping with the brewery's style.

The post says the first 40 customers who order the target beer will receive a label, making it one of the event's highlights. The meaning of the label will be explained on the day, so attention will likely be drawn not only to the beer itself, but also to the background and intent behind the collaboration.

This announcement gives not only fans of Yatsugatake Brewery, but also anyone who wants to try a new flavor through a collaboration beer, a good reason to stop by.
