About
Both Kiwi Scott and Aussie Cam learnt how to make full flavoured beers as home brewers and then studied how to make these beers consistently at Versuchs und Lehranstalt fur Braurei (VLB) Berlin. Lured to Ireland by two Irish cailins and in search of good beer, they came up with an idea: let’s brew it ourselves!
In 2010 they established Eight Degrees Brewing at the foot of the Galtee Mountains and, after much work, stainless steel and (never ending!) research launched their first beer on an unexpecting world at the 2011 EasterFest.

In my opinion, it is an average beer, not really an amber and it sounds more a pale ale, hoppy, bitter and dry, a bit watery, refreshing, 13.08.18, at the Mayens d'Arbaz with Fred, buying it through Qoqa.ch

It is not a bad Irish pale ale, the aromas of malt, peach and hop are not so strong in the mouth, a bit watery, creamy texture, correct, 13.08.18, at Arbaz with Fred, buying it through qoqa.ch
