fuiyoh

Fuiyoh is an exclamation whose origin is not entirely clear and which is used when one is happy about something. The expression can be equated with "wow" or "great" and is an integral part of colloquial speech in many parts of Asia. Some say that the word comes from Singapore, others attribute it to Malaysian. We would rather not get involved in the linguistic debate, so we will only talk about Fuiyoh, whose origin we can determine quite clearly.

The Nuremberg-based Orca Brau has teamed up with the neo-Asian restaurant Chung for its latest brew. Their creation is called Fuiyoh and is so delicious that an exclamation of delight is inevitable.

Fuiyoh is a lager with a few extra ingredients. Rice is a traditional ingredient in many Asian beers and gives the brew a fresh lightness. Schisandra is a fruit that is also known in German as the five-taste berry. This wondrous name comes from the five flavors of the fruit, which brings sweet, salty, sour, bitter and spicy components to the tongue. The exciting berry was soaked in sake - a Japanese brew made from polished rice - and then placed in the kettle. The result is a slim, crisp, fresh lager that combines the character of the schisandra berry with a hint of sake and soft malt.

Fuiyoh!
