Description
8 Wired is a micro brewing company based in Warkworth, New Zealand.
Our mission is to produce mind blowing beers that will wow craft beer lovers, excite fellow beer geeks and educate the mis-guided who still believe that "beer is just beer". If you want to come on this journey with us, please get in touch.
8 Wired Brewing is inspired by the legendary Kiwi can-do mentality and fellow craft brewers who have dared to challenge the masses and show us all that beer is no longer “just beer”! Known for producing “New world interpretations of old world styles” 8 Wired have multiple shades of very hoppy IPAs, Saisons, Porters and Stouts in their permanent line up and have the biggest barrel aged and sour program in the southern hemisphere.
After 5 years of contract brewing, eventually at 4 different breweries across New Zealand we now finally have our very own brewery (In Warkworth, North of Auckland) where we brew and package everything.

Draught No head to speak of; hazy pineapplejuice coloured beer. Sour, old cloth, soap, dry spices - some form of oxydation. Dry, mild acids, lactic. Fruity esters but none really imposing. Wild yeasts, and then especially floor mop Brett dominating the flavourprofile. Light body, low carbonation. Too wild yeast oriented, and not very uplifting.

13/XI/21 - sample from a bottle @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 2 (Waagnatie, Antwerp), BB: n/a (2021-1364) Thanks to the Brewver crew and other beer buddies for sharing today’s beers!
Clear pale milky yellow beer, no head. Aroma: very herbal, floral, soapy, cardamom, somewhat fruity, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: weird, very floral, soapy and unpleasant bitterness, acidic, bit lemony, more soap, nope. Aftertaste: lavender, soapy, unpleasant bitter finish, don’t like this one…

Draught Very small, ultra fine & dense pink head, stable over fully cloudy dark red beer. Valerian, cassis leaf, cake, toasted grains, and a truckload of berries. Sour berries, with a superb fine acidity that is both delicate and bold. Cassis, currant, with lipsmacking acidity, acidthinning, and a finish that is a bit leaner. A taste to die for, but the body lacks a bit of bones.
