Tally's Take
Why this matters
Sweet potato in a beer sounds like a novelty until you taste Beniaka. Ji-Biru at its best was always about using what the region actually grew.

Beniaka
Year-RoundSweet Potato Amber Ale
Brewed with Kawagoe sweet potatoes, using the ones too misshapen to sell. It began as an agricultural waste problem and became one of Japan's most recognisable craft beers.
