Description
Founded in 2012, Cloud 9 Brewery is a nanopub concept featuring locally sourced and organic components in both the brewery and restaurant.
With an emphasis on creative brewing, Cloud 9 is situated in a unique place in the market. Instead of having the exact same line-up from month to month, the beers on-tap at Cloud 9 change as soon as the last drop from the previous batch has been poured. With so many taps, and only 6 year-round beers, the variety is truly amazing.
Cloud 9 also features a unique feedback process by which we judge what beer-drinkers actually think. We collate and analyze the input and use that to shape the direction of the next batch. In this way the community is involved in the brewing process from concept to the final foamy pint.
A commitment to quality, service and genuine interest in our community make Cloud 9 Brewery the place for beer aficionados, foodies, and everyone who enjoys fresh and unique culinary creations.

On tap at Cloud 9, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light rhubarb and berries, not much else. Weak, watery and uncarbonated. Not convincing.

On tap at Cloud 9, pours a deep dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, a little fruitiness. Flavour is along the same lines, with fruitiness and toasted malt. Like all Cloud 9 beers, this is undercarbonated and lacking oomph.

On tap at Cloud 9, pours a dark amber orange with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of bready malt, muffled hops and earthy notes. Weak, watery and undercarbonated. Needs something more vigorous to happen here.

On tap at Cloud 9, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small white head. Aroma and flavour are bland as hell, with light roast and restrained hops. Watery and weak palate. Lame.

On tap at Cloud 9, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out light coconut flakes and toasted malt. Flavour is medium-bodies, with cocoa, coconut and toasted malt. Decently constructed but lacking cohesion and character. Meh.

On tap at Cloud 9, pours Blanc with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and no notice of the salted caramel. Flavour is pretty weak, with light toasted malt and a touch of faint caramel. Mellow carbonation and not a nice balance of flavours.
