Far Yeast Brewing releases a limited saison made with Yamanashi peaches
Far Yeast Brewing has launched Far Yeast Peach White, a limited saison made with 250 kg of ripe Hikawa Hakuhō peaches from Peach Sennka Yamashita in Yamanashi City. The beer goes on sale on August 19 and will ship more widely from August 20.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Far Yeast Brewing’s limited peach saison. Far Yeast Peach White launched on August 19, and the name alone already sounds dangerously drinkable.
MugiWait, 250 kilograms of peaches? That is not a garnish, that is a full-scale fruit operation!
Hop BroThey used Hikawa Hakuhou peaches grown by Peach Senka Yamashita in Yamanashi City, so the whole idea is to keep that ripe, fresh peach aroma front and center.
MugiOkay, but fruit saison means what exactly? That sounds so fancy I feel underdressed just hearing it.
Hop BroA saison is a Belgian-style beer that’s light and aromatic. Here, floral saison yeast is layered with peach, so it stays expressive but still easy to drink.
MugiWhat is this, a beer talent show? And they also added Citra’s citrus note? Doesn’t that start a flavor argument with the peach?
Hop BroThat’s the clever part. They paired it with local Yumekaori wheat, then used secondary fermentation in package to soften the carbonation so the aromas come together smoothly.
MugiHold on, what is secondary fermentation? Why do I suddenly feel like I need safety goggles?
Hop BroBasically, it means letting fermentation continue a little after packaging to create gentler carbonation. Less sharp fizz, more soft and fluffy sparkle.
MugiThat sounds extremely my thing. With 5.0% ABV and 20 IBU, even a craft beer beginner like me can jump in without fear.
Hop BroAnd Far Yeast Brewing’s Genryu Brewery has been pushing Brewed with YAMANASHI, turning local Yamanashi ingredients into beer. This release fits that idea perfectly.
MugiSo the online store started on August 19, and wider shipping begins August 20, right? I want to chill a 350ml can and inhale that peach aroma immediately.
Hop BroYep, and there’s also a 15L keg version, so if it shows up at a beer bar, order first and think later. Far Yeast Peach White is absolutely a must-drink.
MugiDecision made. Tonight is officially peach mode. Ripe peach saison just sounds like something worth toasting right now.
A limited saison built around Yamanashi peaches
Far Yeast Brewing, based in Kosuge Village in Yamanashi, has released Far Yeast Peach White as a limited-production beer starting on August 19. The recipe uses 250 kg of fresh peaches from Peach Sennka Yamashita, a grower in Yamanashi City, with the peach variety Hikawa Hakuhō at the center of the beer’s aroma and flavor. Shipments to the brewery’s online store, liquor retailers, restaurants, and beer bars begin in stages from August 20.
The beer is brewed as a Fruits Saison, a Belgian-origin style known for expressive yeast character and a dry, drinkable finish. Far Yeast pairs saison yeast with Citra hops and locally grown Yume Kaori wheat, then carries out bottle- and can-conditioning to create a soft, fine carbonation. The beer sits at 5.0% ABV and 20 IBU, aiming for a profile that combines fresh peach aroma with a bright, easygoing finish.

This release also fits Far Yeast Brewing’s broader Brewed with YAMANASHI initiative, which uses local agricultural produce as the basis for seasonal and limited beers. The brewery has previously worked with peaches, plums, and grapes from within Yamanashi, and Peach White continues that approach with a straightforward fruit-forward saison built around local produce.
