Description
We like modern ales loaded with new world hops, full bodied stouts and refreshing sours.
In 2015 we opened "Microkosmos" our taproom and nano brewery in the mountains of northern Thailand.
Our pilot batches are developed at the nano brewery and for bigger batches we work together with contract brewers from around the world.
We teamed up with FRAMEofMIND for our visual artwork.

Looks like a bad fruit juice but comes out wonderfully in the aroma. Piney, resinous, dank. Maalstroom again proving they’re on of the best in the country.

modestly pale straw color. Rocky white head. Amazing nose of candied mangos and citrus notes. Medium body, big bitterness, medium
Body. Drinks much lighter than 8.1% but the hop character doesn’t shine quit as much as in the nose. Modestly dry. As it warms it has nice sweeter malt backbone that balances nice with the hops and shows a bit more hop character. Solid beer.
