Fermentage Kofu Tom Kha Gai Ale 5% 37.5 cl

ABV: 5.0%

The result of a collaboration between Fermentage, where brewmaster Jorge Tomé continues to surprise, and Kin Ferments, led by chef João Alves, a master in the art of Koji, this unique project was born, exploring the richness of rice fermentation. The batch was divided into four very distinct interpretations; in Kofu, the Thai spice blend stands out, inspired by Tom Kha Gai soup, Coconut, Kaffir Lime, Galangal, Lemongrass, and Chili.

Dominant flavor: Fruity and Spicy

About the beer

A project resulting from a partnership between Kin Ferments – a project dedicated to the world of koji, born from the mind and hands of chef João Alves, where soy sauce, miso, and many other delicacies originate – and Fermentage – where the mind of Master Brewer Jorge Tomé never ceases to surprise.

Using rice transformed by *Aspergillus oryzae* fungi, we brewed with pilsner malt to highlight the rice fermentation process. A neutral fermentation was used to allow the grains to express their aromatics.

The batch was divided into 4 versions:

Kojo – a version with equal parts koji rice and pilsner. Low bitterness with complexity from the rice fermentation microorganisms.

Hanagumori – infused with sencha green tea and cherry blossoms. Known as Sakura in Japan.

Kofu – a Thai spice blend inspired by Tom Kha Gai soup: coconut, kaffir lime, galangal, lemongrass, and chili.

Suifu – the heat and freshness of wasabi highlight the citrus profile of Yuzu.

The idea is to explore aromatic variations, complementing the profile.

Each version has approximately 250 bottles of 37.5cl available.
