Description
Daisen G Beer is a craft beer brewery located in Tottori prefecture, in the Chugoku region, just north of Okayama. Located at the base of Mt. Daisen, which is more commonly known as Hōkifuji in the area, the brewery opened in 1997 as an off-shoot of the sake producing company Kumezakura Shuzō and San-in Sanso Corporation, a company that deals with high-pressure gas. The local area is famous for its clear spring water, sourced from the snow at the top of the mountain, and its black soil, kuroboku in Japanese, which is said to be some of the most fertile in Japan. This fertile soil has resulted in Daisen G Beer being able to grow its own barley, in the form of Daisen Gold, in the spring; Daisen G Beer’s own hops, called Weihen Hop, which are harvested in the summer, and also Yamadanishiki, a sake yeast that is used in the production of the beers such as Daisen G Yagō.

On tap at the Kyoto Craft Beer Fest. Aged since 2011, I was quite impressed with Daisen G at the Kyoto Fest as I enjoyed both of their beers I tried there. It poured a great looking stout with a tan head. A creamy body, malt forward sweet then chocolate followed by a dry mild hoppy finish. Nice!

One of the stand outs at the Kyoto Craft Beer Fest. On tap. It poured a nice cloudy color with a light white head. It was slightly sweet, spicy and had a hint of funk. I really enjoyed it, very drinkable. I’ll definitely drink it again.

Rated in 2009. Slighly artificial cherry aroma, but in a nice way. Cloudy red brown, low head. Falls a bit flat in flavour, needs more chewyness.
