TOKYO, Japan – January 28, 2015 – Nippon Craft Beer Inc. (NCB) is proud to announce that this spring it will launch a new edition of the Far Yeast beer brand that has been specially crafted for the overseas market.

First launched in April 2014, the Far Yeast brand is the follow-up to NCB’s successful Kagua brand of craft beers. Inspired by the city itself and focused on the key concepts of “excitement and brilliance,” the new brand consists of two separate lines: Tokyo Blonde and Tokyo White. Both quickly established a strong following in their native market of Japan and have piqued the interests of NCB’s partners abroad.

To meet the requirements of exporting Far Yeast overseas, NCB has mainly been working on two factors: extending the expiration dates and improving its stability while in storage. Working together with Kiuchi Brewery, home of Hitachino Nest Beer, NCB has been successful in lengthening the shelf life of Far Yeast Tokyo Blonde – Export Edition. Even with the adjustments, the new edition retains all of the original’s fresh and brilliant flavor, as well as its overall drinkability.

The launch of the new brand will begin in Asian markets such as Hong Kong ,Taiwan and Korea in April 2015, before expanding to other regions and countries throughout the world.

About the Far Yeast Brand

“Sharing Tokyo’s essence with the rest of the world through beer,” was the original concept behind the Far Yeast brand. Tokyo is known worldwide as an exciting, brilliant and modern metropolis where history and tradition remain vibrant. Far Yeast, which is brewed by a domestic brewer with recipes created by NCB, aims to capture that spirit of melding both the modern and traditional.

With its characteristic, enjoyable flavor that remains pleasantly drinkable, Far Yeast was first released in April 2014. It is the second beer brand release from NCB following Kagua, and is comprised of two varieties. The first is Tokyo Blonde, which is a pilsner style beer, while the second, Tokyo White, is a saison style beer.
