Far Yeast Brewing will begin sequential shipments of its limited beer "Far Yeast noon moon" from May 20, for enjoying under the open sky in nature. It is an American Pale Ale brewed at the Genryu Brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi, and marks a re-brew for the first time in two years.
Hop BroMugi-chan, Far Yeast Brewing's Far Yeast noon moon will start shipping in stages on May 20.
MugiWow, even the name sounds stylish! A re-brew for the first time in two years means it was that popular?
Hop BroExactly. It's an American Pale Ale brewed at the Genryu Brewery in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi, and it's designed to fit a scene where you drink outdoors in nature from daytime.
MugiSo it's made for drinking from daytime? That's basically a beer made for blue skies!
Hop BroExactly. They use Citra, Mosaic Cryo, and even Dynaboost, and the interesting part is how they layer the aromas with a six-hop design.
MugiWait, what are Cryo and Dynaboost!? That just sounds like a hop spell to me!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, they're ways of using hops to intensify aroma or change how it's released. So you get a floral base with citrus and tropical notes on top.
MugiOh, that sounds amazing at a campground! It seems like a taste that would really shine outdoors.
Hop BroWhat's more, they've toned down the bitterness a bit from the previous version and tuned it to a lighter body, so it goes down easy.
MugiAnd with the BACK TO RIVER label, part of the proceeds goes to donations too? That's too good! I want to drink this while supporting nature too!
Hop BroRight. It also packs in Far Yeast Brewing's sense of place, and just imagining a beer under blue skies is enough to make me thirsty.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to drink it now! If it goes on sale on May 20, I've got to put it on my calendar!
Far Yeast Brewing (Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture) will begin sequential shipments of its limited beer "Far Yeast noon moon" from May 20 to liquor retailers nationwide, beer bars, restaurants, and the official online store. This release is a re-brew of the same product that debuted in 2023, making it the first in two years.
The company brews in Kosuge Village, located in the headwaters of the Tama River, where the surrounding area offers opportunities to enjoy nature through camping, hiking, BBQ, fishing, and more. "Far Yeast noon moon" was born from that setting and was planned as a beer meant for drinking outdoors in the daytime. It was well received at local roadside stations, liquor shops, campgrounds, and outdoor-focused beer bars, which led to this return.
The style is American Pale Ale, with 4.5% alcohol by volume and 20 IBU. Using six hop varieties - Citra, Comet, Centennial, Mosaic Cryo, Mosaic Dynaboost, and Citra Dynaboost - and adjusting the timing of additions, the beer is designed to build on floral, herbal, and woody impressions while also bringing out citrus and tropical aromas. Another feature is that the bitterness has been slightly reduced from the previous release, creating a lighter body.
This product also features an original "BACK TO RIVER" label tied to efforts to protect rivers and natural environments. A portion of sales will be donated. As an easygoing beer to enjoy in nature, this limited release reflects Far Yeast Brewing's sense of place and environmental perspective.
