Yokohama Beer Brewery to Release Its 6th Can Beer, “Yokohama Saison,” on April 1
Yokohama Beer Brewery will gradually release its sixth canned beer, “Yokohama Saison,” at retailers nationwide and in its official online shop starting April 1. This new beer combines Belgium’s traditional saison style with the latest hop, Krush, and is characterized by its brisk, easy-drinking profile.
Hop BroThe “Yokohama Saison” that Yokohama Beer Brewery released on April 1 is a new beer that really has me interested.
MugiReally? So it’s the sixth can beer in the series? I had no idea they’d made that many!
Hop BroExactly. And the style is traditional Belgian saison. The core is the spicy, lively character that defines saison.
MugiSpicy? Does the beer have pepper sprinkled into it? That whole spicy aroma thing is kind of mysterious!
Hop BroGood point. In practice, it’s less about adding spices and more about the aromas that come from fermentation and the character of the malt. On top of that, the latest hop, Krush, brings citrus and tropical-fruit-like notes.
MugiWhat? Citrus and tropical fruit? That sounds like it could almost be drunk like juice!
Hop BroBut it isn’t overly sweet. The alcohol content is a light 4.5%, and with an IBU of 17 the bitterness is gentle, so it’s designed to be just right for relaxing in the afternoon.
MugiWow, made for afternoons is so specific. It makes me want to drink it in a park, though of course I’d follow the rules!
Hop BroThe pairing suggestions are great too. It should go nicely with white fish carpaccio or dishes made with early-summer vegetables, letting the aroma really shine.
MugiSo stylish! But Yokohama Beer is really good at that kind of locally rooted challenge, isn’t it?
Hop BroExactly. Founded in 1999, they’ve actively made limited releases and collaborations in addition to staples like Yokohama Lager and Yokohama Wheat. This new candidate for a regular beer follows that same direction.
MugiAnd they’re even holding an event on the release day at the main restaurant UMAYA and the beer stand. Being able to feel the opening-day energy right there is the best.
Hop BroThat’s right. At this point, there’s no choice but to drink it. I’m really getting the urge to open a Yokohama Saison right now.
MugiMe too! Today I just want to toast while imagining the Krush aroma!
Yokohama Beer Brewery released its sixth canned beer, “Yokohama Saison,” on April 1. This new product will be sold gradually at retailers nationwide and through the official online shop. It has an alcohol by volume of 4.5% and an IBU of 17. It is a beer that layers the spicy, lively qualities typical of saison with aromas reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruit brought by the latest hop, Krush.
Head brewer Ida, who was in charge of recipe development, said the goal was to maintain respect for tradition while adding a challenge that is distinctly Yokohama Beer. The saison’s structure remains intact, but the drinking experience is light. It is designed to be enjoyed slowly on a pleasant afternoon. Suggested pairings include white fish carpaccio with dill and dishes made with early-summer vegetables.
Yokohama Beer, founded in 1999, is a local beer company based in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. In addition to staple beers such as Yokohama Lager and Yokohama Wheat, it has actively developed limited-batch brews and beers created in collaboration with the local community. This “Yokohama Saison” also appears likely to become a new regular in that lineup. To commemorate the release, an event will also be held on April 1 at the main restaurant UMAYA and the first-floor beer stand, creating a setup where visitors can enjoy the opening-day excitement on the spot.
