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.

Draft at the Mind Cafe, Chiang Mai. Poured a murky orange colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is mineral, light orange citrus. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, rich juicy orange citrus, dank, super dry, spicy hop bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

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.
