Yotei Brewing to Release Two Limited IPA Variants on August 10
Yotei Brewing, based in Niseko, Hokkaido, will launch two limited-batch beers on Monday, August 10. The lineup pairs a crisp IPA, RVRRN, with a juicy Hazy IPA, FLDDY, alongside on-tap service at Sapporo’s summer beer garden and select bars in Hokkaido.
Hop BroI’ve got news from Niseko, Hokkaido: Yotei Brewing is dropping two new IPAs on August 10. The limited releases are "RVRRN" and "FLDDY."
MugiWait, a same-day release for both? I’m already excited! And those names sound like secret codes, so what are they like?
Hop Bro"RVRRN" is a clean, crisp IPA with orange-candy-like aroma from Triumph hops. It finishes dry, and it clocks in at 6.0% ABV.
MugiHold on, what does dry finish even mean here? Like laundry-fresh beer or something?
Hop BroClose, but no shirts involved. In beer terms, dry means the sweetness doesn’t linger, so you get a clean, quick finish instead.
MugiOhhh! Then what about "FLDDY"? Hazy IPA makes me picture a beer wandering through fog.
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. Hazy IPA is lightly cloudy, and FLDDY uses McKenzie and BRU-1 for white peach and ripe pineapple vibes with a juicy punch.
MugiSo RVRRN is sharp and crisp, while FLDDY is plush and juicy. That is a full-on drink-them-side-by-side situation! And both come in 350ml cans and on draft, right?
Hop BroExactly, and starting August 10 they’ll be pouring at Sapporo’s World Beer Plaza as draft beer too. The dates are August 10 to 12 and 17 to 18, plus pours at Brian Brew, Hininitsuka, and HEISON in Asahikawa.
MugiWow, even if Hokkaido is far away, my heart has already arrived first. I want to grab the 768-yen cans and then chase down the draft version too.
Hop BroYou can buy them at FULLMARKS Sapporo, Niseko View Plaza, and the official online shop, and that family-run brewery hop obsession really comes through in both beers.
MugiThen it’s settled! On August 10, we’re toasting with RVRRN and FLDDY and holding a very serious debate over Team Crisp versus Team Juicy!
Yotei Brewing will release two new beers on Monday, August 10: `RVRRN (River Run)`, a clean, easy-drinking IPA, and `FLDDY (Field Day)`, a rich and juicy Hazy IPA. Both will be available in limited quantities as 350 ml cans and on tap.
The brewery is a family-run operation in Niseko, where its founders relocated from Tokyo after falling in love with the area. On its official site, Yotei Brewing describes itself as a hop-forward brewery making pale ales, IPAs, and hazy IPAs, while building close ties with local bars and restaurants rather than operating its own taproom.
`RVRRN` uses Hollingbery & Son’s Triumph hops and is described as offering orange-candy-like aromas, a crisp palate, and a dry finish. It comes in at 6.0% ABV. `FLDDY` uses McKenzie and BRU-1, bringing notes of white peach, ripe pineapple, and grapefruit, with a juicy mouthfeel and a similarly 6.0% ABV. The two beers are clearly contrasting in character, making them a natural pair for comparison tasting.
To mark the launch, Yotei Brewing will also appear at the Fukushi Kyosan Sapporo Odori Beer Garden’s World Beer Square at Odori West 10 on August 10-12 and 17-18. During the event, the brewery will pour the new releases alongside favorites such as West Coast Lager and EXPDTN. From the same day, the beers will also be served at Craft Pub Brian Brew in Sapporo, Hininitsuka in Sapporo, and HEISON Craft Beer & Parfait in Asahikawa. The cans are priced at 768 yen including tax and will also be sold through FULLMARKS Sapporo, Niseko Michi-no-Eki View Plaza, and the brewery’s online shop.
