FAR YEAST BREWING's 'Off Trail Wild Caught 2024' Arrives at Beer Rize
Craft Beer Pub Beer Rize in Chatan Town, Okinawa announced FAR YEAST BREWING's 'Off Trail Wild Caught 2024' as a new bottle-shop arrival. In addition to expanding its bottle lineup to around 120 varieties, it also noted taproom eat-in and a bring-your-own-food policy.
Hop BroToday I want to introduce the new arrival from FAR YEAST BREWING that came into Craft Beer Pub Beer Rize in Chatan, Okinawa. It's a pretty bold bottle called 'Off Trail Wild Caught 2024'.
MugiWhoa! The title already sounds strong! 'Wild Caught 2024' sounds like it was caught on a fishing trip, right?
Hop BroThe name is certainly punchy. But the beer itself is carefully crafted: it's a barrel-aged sour red ale with sansho. They've blended fresh sansho from Tabayama into beer aged for 14 months.
MugiWait, sansho!? They put that in beer!? And sour red ale sounds like a spell, I can't keep up!
Hop BroPut simply, it's an acidic reddish beer layered with barrel nuances. What's more, this one gives off sweet aromas like caramel and raisins, plus berry notes and even citrusy acidity.
MugiWhat is that! The layers of flavor are too many! But if it even has a vinegar-like note, the depth of the acidity must be amazing.
Hop BroExactly, that's the interesting part. Because they've blended in a small amount of barrel base beer, it's not just sour; it has definition. It's a design that sour and barrel-aged fans will love.
MugiBarrel-aged? What is that!? Just aging it in barrels makes that much of a difference? When you say layers of aroma, I'm intrigued!
Hop BroRight. The wood aroma of the barrel and traces of whatever was in it before all come through, so the flavor gains dimension. Beer Rize stocks that kind of bottle well, and having its inventory grow to around 120 varieties is reassuring too.
MugiAnd you can drink it in the taproom, and bring in your own food? That's the best! I love being able to go with the snacks I want. So free!
Hop BroYeah, choosing a bottle and having a drink on-site is a really nice flow. If you're looking in Chatan, Beer Rize is definitely one to check out because it has both a strong bottle selection and tap selection.
MugiNow I definitely want to go drink there! First I want to try Off Trail Wild Caught 2024 and be surprised by beer with sansho!
Hop BroAll right, then tonight let's chase the aroma of the barrel and have a glass of sour red. The more a beer makes you want to talk about it, the more fun it is to drink.
