CRAFT BEER

Yoho Brewing Draft Beer

Guided by the mission of "Flavor in beer! Happiness in life!", Yo-Ho Brewing produces unique, flavorful craft beers with a focus on quality, with the desire to bring variety to Japan's beer culture and bring a little happiness to customers.

At "YONAYONA BEER WORKS," you can enjoy around 10 types of craft beer currently produced by Yoho Brewing, such as "Yona Yona Ale," "Indian Blue Demon," "Wednesday Cat," and "Boku Beer Kimi Beer." In addition, we also offer limited-edition brewed beers earlier than anywhere else, and occasionally offer the original beer "WORKS ALE" that can only be drunk here.

We pay particular attention to temperature, gas pressure, glasses, and pouring methods. We also pay particular attention to the pouring height and angle depending on the beer, and adjust the gas pressure, which cannot be expressed in cans, depending on the style. In addition, depending on the type and size of the beer, we use several types of glassware from the prestigious German brand "Spiegelau" to maximize the brewer's thoughts and original flavor.

This special feeling can only be experienced at YONA YONA BEER WORKS.

BEER LINEUP

Yona Yona Ale

Yo-Ho's flagship ale is characterized by its good aroma, made with plenty of Cascade, a representative American hop variety with a citrus aroma. The beautiful amber color and moderate sweetness of the dark caramel malt support the hop aroma. It is famous in the craft beer world, having won a bronze medal among many other beers at the Pale Ale category of the 2017 IBC (International Beer Cup). The product concept is an easy-to-drink authentic ale beer. We named it "Yona Yona Ale" with the hope that people in Japan, where there is no culture of enjoying ale beer, will drink it every night. The image is a beer that you can drink leisurely and relaxing at night.

Indian Blue Devil

The ever-evolving IPA (India Pale Ale). It is characterized by its "amazing bitterness" with three times the IBU (International Bitterness Units) of regular beer, and the citrus and grapefruit-like aroma of American hops. When it was first released, it was an English-style IPA with British hops as the main ingredient, but around 2014 it was changed to an American IPA using American hops, and the gorgeous citrus aroma has been brought to the forefront. The hops used and the amount are revised and brushed up irregularly. IPA is a style that was originally created in 18th century England. There is a theory that it became a beer with a large amount of hops to maintain quality in order to transport beer around the Cape of Good Hope to India, which was a British colony at the time. The concept of "Indian Blue Demon" is "a sharp ale with a perfect sharpness". The character of the demon was set as a very bitter and sharp beer, and the bitter aroma of the hops gave it the name Blue Demon. The theme color blue also evokes the image of the sea.

Wednesday Cat

A Belgian-style white ale made with Belgian yeast, wheat malt, orange peel, and coriander seeds. It has little bitterness and is smooth and mellow because it uses wheat malt. It uses a small amount of hops, and the spicy and fruity (apple/banana) aroma produced by the Belgian yeast is its characteristic feature. Another characteristic of this beer is the addition of orange peel (dried orange peel) and coriander seeds (dried coriander seeds). Representative brands of the Belgian white style are Belgium's Hoegaarden and VIDET., but this "Wednesday Cat" is a beer with the same direction. Cats are a symbol of freedom and freedom. It is filled with the desire to be as carefree as a cat.

I'm beer, you're beer

"SAISON" is a seasonal beer that was once drunk in Belgium and parts of France during summer farm work. "Boku Beer Kimi Beer" is a modern craft beer arrangement of this traditional recipe. Based on the theme of "refreshment," we have reduced the bitterness and alcohol content while adding hops with citrus and tropical aromas to create a beer that can be enjoyed more lightly. We doubled the amount of dry hops from the previous product, resulting in a light aroma reminiscent of lemon, muscat, and herbs. With a deep flavor that creates a sense of rhythm with the acidity, and with the alcohol content kept to 4.5%, this beer is characterized by its light taste that is perfect for relaxing times.

New York

The distinctive name is derived from the idea of ​​"magnificent mountains," a symbol of the hearts of the people of Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures, and "new," and was named "Yamanoue Newi." It features an elegant and refreshing lemongrass-like herbal aroma that is reminiscent of the Koshin Mountains. It has a drinkable flavor that makes you want to drink it before or during a meal, and was created with the hope that it will be enjoyed daily by locals in particular. The eye-catching illustration on the package shows "Nyuui," a creature with the upper body of a chamois and the lower body of a ptarmigan, majestically depicted as a guardian from the top of a mountain.

Backstreet Dondabada

Backstreet Don Davada is characterized by a unique aroma reminiscent of Chardonnay, a blend of hop aromas, refreshing fruit aromas, and light wood aromas. This craft beer has a dry, light taste, but with an alcohol content of 6.0%, it is also satisfying to drink. The secret to the deliciousness of Backstreet Dondabada lies in its <attachment to the manufacturing process>. The amount of yeast added is three times that of "Wednesday Cat" By increasing the amount of "Belgian yeast" added during the fermentation process, which gives off an ester aroma reminiscent of bananas and apples, the beer has a refreshing aroma and a dry taste. Fermented at the highest temperature among our standard products While the fermentation temperature for regular ale beer is between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius, "Urasore no Dondabada" is fermented at a maximum temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. This creates a refreshing aroma reminiscent of Chardonnay. Inspired by the authentic Belgian recipe, adding glucose gives it a dry taste Based on the Belgian Golden Ale, a beer style that originated in Belgium, we were inspired by the brewing method in its birthplace and added glucose during the fermentation stage. This allows the sugar needed for fermentation to be supplemented with glucose, so fermentation is possible with a smaller amount of malt than with regular beer. By reducing the amount of malt used, the body of the malt is reduced and the taste becomes drier.

WORKS ALE

"WORKS ALE" is a craft beer brewed by Yo-Ho Brewing, and can only be drunk at YONA YONA BEER WORKS, which does not sell it to the public. In addition to beers developed from scratch, we also offer beers that Yo-Ho Brewing staff have improved on brews they made in in-house competitions. All of these beers are timeless and unique, overflowing with originality. They are released irregularly, but aim to be released 3-4 times a year.
