Unique Aspect
We originally brewed this beer in collaboration with Nanban in London, Blackfriars, and the Hanging Bat in Edinburgh, looking to combine flavours found in Sake production to create a beautifully balanced umami bomb. However, In 2015 a batch of our Yadokai went awry from a Pediococcus infection in bottle that lasted for 2 years! This is absolutely unheard of and our best guess, is that it's attributed to the strong alcohol content of this beer. The result however, is incredible, a tropical version of Yadokai, where the flavours from the process have created an absolutely unique and wonderful result. Now 3 years old this vintage is something truly unique, never to be seen again...
Packaged in a unique presentation box this is the ideal gift for the beer connoisseur or one to cherish and cellar for years to come...
Food Pairings
Yadokai has so many elements to pair with from sharp yuzu to sweet alcohol to seaweed umami. Umami is the defining character of the beer and as such umami dishes, particularly Asian-inspired, compliment incredibly well. Pair up with Ramen, Okonomiyaki, Tacoyaki, Gyoza for lots of complimentary flavours while the beer lifts the fattiness associated with these dishes.
With the Yadokai unique edition you can expect more tropical fruitiness in the flavour
