In an Instagram post published by Yokohama Beer Brewery on March 20, the launch of the new "Yokohama Saison" was announced. The release date is April 1. In the post, saison was introduced as a style whose name means "season," and it also referenced the style’s roots as a drink Belgian farmers used to quench their thirst between summer farm work.
What is being emphasized in this new "Yokohama Saison" is the style’s spicy character and lively aroma, along with citrus and tropical nuances from the much-talked-about hop Krush. The beer appears designed not only for light drinkability but also for a layered aromatic experience, and it seems likely to pair well as a meal-time beer from early spring into early summer.
Yokohama Beer Brewery is based in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, and according to its official corporate information, it began beer production in 1999. As a locally rooted craft beer brand, it continues to offer not only core products but also collaborations and limited-edition brews. This new release can also be read as a presentation of the company’s "beer that connects people" ethos through the theme of a daily "little break."
Timed for the new life season, this looks like a new product craft beer fans will want to check out if they want to refresh their mood through aroma.
