New Beer Release: Yokohama Basha-michi Coffee Ale

On February 3rd, Caravan Coffee, known for its rich history since 1928 in Yokohama's Basha-michi area, will launch a special collaboration beer with the local brewery, Yokohama Beer. This new offering, named Yokohama Basha-michi Coffee Ale, is crafted for a limited time, allowing consumers to experience a unique blend of coffee and beer that reflects local culture.

Unique Ingredients

This ale utilizes decaffeinated coffee beans from Brazil, combined with a decaffeinated espresso liquid for added depth. The aroma of nuts and raisins intertwined with rich coffee notes creates a harmonious profile. The espresso adds a full-bodied flavor, while the brown ale contributes a subtle sweetness, promoting a balanced taste that makes it tempting to have another sip.

Both Caravan Coffee and Yokohama Beer share their roots in the historic Basha-michi region, making this collaboration even more special. The bottle labels are creatively designed with a horse icon, symbolizing the Year of the Horse from the Chinese zodiac, enhancing the local aesthetics.
