Ray Day Beer Announces Collaboration Beer with Caprice and Utoto Farm; Release Party Set for May 16
Ray Day Beer in Uruma, Okinawa, will hold a release party on May 16 for its collaboration beer, "Island Harvest Farmhouse Ale," created with Caprice and Utoto Farm. The event will also feature a tap takeover and food.
Hop BroRay Day Beer in Uruma, Okinawa, teamed up with Caprice and Utoto Farm to announce a collaboration beer. And the name is "Island Harvest Farmhouse Ale," which already sounds delicious just from the way it looks on the page.
MugiWhat! Island Harvest Farmhouse Ale? That sounds like a tropical treasure hunt! And farmhouse ale? The sophistication level just shot way up all of a sudden!
Hop BroThe style is a farmhouse ale, and it's based on Ray Day Beer's Ishikawa Ale. What's interesting is that it uses wild yeast collected and cultured from Utoto Farm's hives for secondary fermentation.
MugiWait, wild yeast? What even is that! I thought yeast worked in a factory, but it comes from hives!? That's way too free-spirited!?
Hop BroBasically, it's a method of using yeast from nature to give the flavor more character. The goal this time is to bring in gentle acidity and ester aromas while finishing dry and crisp.
MugiOhhh! So it's got the freshness of hops plus a little sourness and aroma? That means it's the kind of beer you want to chug, but also savor, which makes it a very busy beer!
Hop BroAnd on Saturday, May 16, starting at 12:00, they're holding a release party at Caprice. It's not just the opening of the beer, either, because there's also a Ray Day Beer tap takeover, so anyone who loves comparing pours is in for trouble.
MugiTap takeover means the kegs get taken over!? The phrase is so intense, but what they're actually doing sounds incredibly peaceful and delicious!
Hop BroExactly, and since you can enjoy Caprice's food along with it, it also pairs well with herb-forward dishes and oily foods. Ray Day Beer usually covers everything from IPAs and sours to lagers and porters, but this one really puts the character of the land front and center.
MugiSo basically, it sounds like you can taste the air of Okinawa itself! Just reading this is making my throat thirsty, and now I want to have a drink at Ray Day Beer and Caprice too!
Ray Day Beer in Uruma, Okinawa Prefecture, has announced a collaboration project with Caprice and Utoto Farm. Starting at 12:00 on Saturday, May 16, a release party will be held at Caprice (inside Gala Aoi Umi), where guests can enjoy the opening of the collaboration beer, a tap takeover by Ray Day Beer, and Caprice's food.
The collaboration beer this time is Island Harvest Farmhouse Ale / 5.0%. Based on Ray Day Beer's flagship "Ishikawa Ale," it is a farmhouse ale that undergoes secondary fermentation with wild yeast collected and cultivated from Utoto Farm's hives. The beer is designed to layer the freshness of hops with the gentle acidity and esters derived from the wild yeast, aiming for a dry, crisp finish.
Ray Day Beer is a brewery based in Ishikawa, Uruma City, Okinawa. As a community-rooted brewery long embraced near the sea, it continues to produce a wide range of styles, from hop-aromatic IPAs to sour ales, lagers, and porters. This release is a little different from its everyday lineup, putting wild yeast and the character of the farm front and center, and it is said to pair well with herb-forward dishes and oily foods.
With the start of the rainy season approaching, it looks like it will be a day to enjoy beer and food, along with the background of how they were made. The clearly identified collaboration partner also makes this a distinctly Ray Day Beer project rooted in place.
