Yokohama Beer Brewery (Kanagawa) announced the release of its new product, "Yokohama Saison," in an official Instagram post. According to the post, the release date is April 1.
This new beer is based on the saison style, whose name means "season" in French, and is designed with a light, refreshing feel in mind. The description also refers to the historical background of Belgian farmers quenching their thirst between summer tasks in the fields, while emphasizing the style’s defining spicy character and lively aroma. It further says that the popular Krush hop adds flavors reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruit.
The central message is "take a breather." The product concept clearly conveys the brewery’s intention to offer a moment of relaxation in the middle of a busy daily life through beer.
According to its official information, Yokohama Beer operates as a local beer company with a long history in Yokohama City. It began brewing beer in 1999, and at its base in Sumiyoshicho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, it also runs its flagship restaurant, "UMAYA." As a new release from a brewery that continues to build ties with the local community, it is worth watching as a potential spring staple.
For saison fans, and for anyone who enjoys bright hop-driven aromas, checking the release date early is recommended.
