Introducing 'BACK TO RIVER 2026'
In the vibrant outdoor culture of Japan, a new and tantalizing beer is set to make its debut. Scheduled for launch on May 20, 2026, the 'BACK TO RIVER 2026' beer is the fourth addition to the celebrated lineup by TrailHeads Co., based in Shibuya, Tokyo. This exceptional brew is not just about taste; it's about a mission: to raise awareness and support for preserving Japan's source-water areas through the 'BACK TO RIVER' project.
A Taste of Nature
This year, 'BACK TO RIVER' brings forth an updated version of the first release that received acclaim. Brewed in collaboration with Far Yeast Brewing, located in Kobugazawa Village, Yamanashi Prefecture—an area connected to the same water system as Akigawa—the new American Pale Ale boasts a light alcohol content of 4.5%. Its vibrant aroma is infused with delightful citrus and tropical notes, designed to perfectly complement outdoor adventures without overwhelming the senses.
Expanding on its predecessors, this iteration features a harmonious balance achieved by expertly timing the addition of six different hops. The result is a brew that captures the essence of nature, offering aromatic hints of oranges, floral notes, and a blend of herbal and woody flavors. Ideal for the warmer months, this is a beverage crafted with the outdoor enthusiast in mind.
