RACK ‘EM UP Series: #7 Maroon Ball Kveik Double IPA with WHC Lab
ABV 8.3% 24x440ml cans

Eight Degrees is turning eight this year. To celebrate eight years of brewing, we are producing eight exciting and innov8ing beers throughout 2019. These eight unique beers will form part of our exciting and colourful RACK EM’ UP series.

Eight Years. Eight Beers. Eight Collabs.

For our #7 we wanted to do a big, modern double IPA, and there’s nothing bigger or more modern than a double IPA with Kveik. This is the cool, new-kid-on-the-block Norwegian yeast strain – that’s only just been around for hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation in that country. It’s a quick fermenting, flocculent yeast, with a high alcohol and heat tolerance which produces citrus notes with a distinctive guava and lime zest character.

As part of our commitment to quality at Eight Degrees, we’ve been working with Philip Woodnut from WHC Lab in Wicklow. He’s been developing a new strain of Kveik called Valkyrie from an isolate that comes from Norway’s Ebbegarden region. It’s a tropical fruit-forward ale with lots of tutti frutti flavours, which we’ve further accentuated by dry hopping with the dynamic Enigma.

Kveik it out.
