Description
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.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, mid sized beige head. Chocolatey nose. Dry with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Velvetty chocolate, some toast and coffee. Mid bitter finish. The smoke is hardly perceptible, but this beer is subtly complex and superbly drinkable. A winner!

Bière 33 cl sans doute achetée chez le comptoir irlandais. Belle robe cuivrée aux reflets rouges. Nez sur le sucre candi, bouche sucrée sur le caramel, ça manque un peu de complexité et d'amertume mais ça reste buvable.
