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.

Bottle from Beer52. Near-black with just a hint of brown. No head despite the moderate fizz (maybe just a tad too fizzy for my liking). Smooth and rich with chocolate, lightly roasted malt and a touch of espresso. Sweetish. Simple but effective & very well brewed. Yum.

Can from Beer52. Deep gold with a white head, gentle fizz and soft mouthfeel. Lagery leafy, floral hop aroma. Taste of floral, leafy hops and a touch of soapy citrus set against buttery, biscuitty malts. I don't like the hops. I just don't like pale lagers
