Maybe other citrus fruits feature in more beers but yuzu seems to hold a particularly important place in the beer world. For quite an uncommon fruit, it sure likes to make an appearance in myriad beers and styles, from sours to IPAs.
Curly Lewis have combined that delicious fruit with a Japanese-lager and what’s even better, they say it’s citrusy enough to give you blonde tips. While that didn’t quite work out in our trial (although we’re not sure if we were meant to drink it or use the stuff as a shampoo), we can say that Yewzu Lager is an incredibly lean and dry beer that’s layered with bright citrus and herbal notes that are akin to a fancy soft drink.
