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.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A bright amber pour with a loose cream head; grassy aroma; grassy taste with a sweet grainy body; and a rather dusty finish. A passable pilsner.

Tight white head stayed on an amber coloured finely carbonated body. Malt & cardboard aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the front with a tingle on the back. Well balanced tastes with malt, pine, unknown fruit & a bitter finish. Poor.

[44cl can from Beer52 - brewery number 1500.] A bright amber pour with a loose white head; grassy aroma; sweet citursy taste, mainly lime and lemon; and some cream soda and quinine to finish; but overall a decent Pale Ale of the modern kind.
