New Release—President's Special Number 2!

After a long and meticulous brewing process, "Imperial India Pale Ale" is now available to purchase on-line (sorry, Japanese only) or at our Biyagura shop.  

As I described in this blog last November, we used 10 different kinds of hops and intensively oversaw the hopping process. The alcohol content is 9% and of course, can be enjoyed now.
Or, if you can put this one in the back of your fridge and hold off drinking it for now and wait another 6 months or more, you may find it is worth the wait since the maturing process, we think, will really smooth this one out. That’s a tall order, I know, so if you are going to wait, I can only wish you good luck!

The supply is VERY limited, so please order from our online store or please visit our Biyagura shop in the coming week. If the President's Special Number 1 is any indication, President's Special Number 2 WILL NOT last long. We hope you like this one—we really do!

Cheers,

Narihiro

New Year Update...

Hello again beer lovers. I’m sorry for my lack of blogging recently—things are as busy as ever. Be that as it may, that hasn’t stopped us from mixing up some very unique and distinct brews to surprise our fans in recent months!

In December, we announced our “Uramura Kaki Stout”, an oyster flavored concoction made in part from lightly broiled oysters taken from our locally famous Uramura region. The feedback was that it was smother and easier to drink than our regular stout! It quickly sold out online and soon after, our stock at our Biyagura store was snatched up too. But don’t fret, if you missed your chance or would like more, we have a batch brewing up that will be available near the end of February. Keep an eye on the blog and I will give more information next month.

And in January, we introduced our “Maple Cinnamon” beer—a mellow and lightly sweet ale made with malt, hops, maple sugar and cinnamon. There are still a few more bottles at our Biyagura store, so if you are interested, make a mad dash to our store and grab the last few bottles of this seasonal treat!

Also, we are currently taking orders for our Valentine's Day ale—“Cacao” made with bitter cocoa. Don’t be fooled, this WILL NOT be a good substitute for a box of sweet chocolate for your sweetheart! However, I promise it’ll be bitter, smooth and chocolaty.

And lastly, we are gearing up for the release of the “President’s Special No. 2” soon. So far, it is looking VERY good and we can’t wait to set this one free.

Stay tuned for more updates and happy (belated) new year!
