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.

Bottle @ home. Dark color, short brown head. Lovely aroma of dark chocolat, mocha, hint of vanilla, hint of coffee, slight hop. Reasonably sweet, quite bitter, bit creamy. Awesome balance. Great balanced RIS. Nothing outspoken, nothing over the top, but just very nicely balanced. Good beer.

Pitch black color. No head. Very nice oak, dark chocolate, dark cherries coffee nose. Fairly intense. Low carbonation. Thick, very chewy mouth. Oak really shines in the mouth with lots of roastiness. Very smooth. Moderately aggressive bitter finish. Fairly big and complex. Not for the light hearted.
