Zupan’s Markets collaborates with Living Häus Beer on Japanese Style Lager

Portland’s family-owned premium grocer Zupan’s Markets, has collaborated with Living Häus Beer Co for the 29th installment of their farm-to-market beer series to release an easy-drinking Japanese Style Lager.

Light and crisp with floral and berry notes, the Japanese Style Lager offers a refreshing palate-cleansing finish.  Traditionally, Japanese lagers feature a high amount of flaked rice (about 20% in this case). This less fermentable rice creates a light, lower alcohol beer with a crisp body and clean finish.

The Living Häus Beer Co Japanese Style Lager is light straw yellow with a fluffy white head, and is made with Tettnang hops and Pilsner Malt. The result is a light bready aroma with notes of slightly fruity hops to the nose.  With a 5.2% ABV, this lager pairs well with grilled salmon with ponzu sauce, spicy seared ahi tuna or crisp tempura vegetables served with wasabi and soy sauce. 

Living Häus Beer Co is located in Portland, OR and is co-owned by Conrad Andrus and Mat Sandoval. With a combined 20 years of professional brewing experience, the business partners have become creators, engineers, scientists, artists, and critical thinkers while on their path to brew the best beers they can. 

The farm-to-market brew will debut exclusively at Zupan's Markets in 16oz cans priced at $3.99/can, four-packs are available for $14.99.
