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.

Aroma of roasted malt, lots of coffee, dark chocolate, some liquorice. Flavour is medium sweet with a medium bitter finish. Drinks easily, like a lower ABV beer. Smooth and balanced.

Can. 1/2 cm tan head atop a very black beer. Some caramel and roast under a fresh coffee aroma. Lots of coffee and a fair bit of roast. Quite sweet in a way that balances things nicely. Coffee lingers. Very well mannered without being cloying for a big brew.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is sweet malts with oak, caramel, notes of hops with ripe fruits, toffee, some booze. Flavour is sweet and light bitter with a boozy finish. Full body. Sweet and heavy, warming alcohol, bit sticky with ripe fruits and sweet malt. Not bad.

Can. Just unclear orange amber with a modest white head. Aroma of citrus, some tropical fruit, pine and weeds, light bread. Light bodied, fairly fizzy. The fancier hops are dominated by NZ Cascade and there's a decisive bitter finish.

Аромат кофе и кофейных зерен, легкая жженка от солода, легкие нотки шоколада, ванили. Цвет темный, пенка кофейная, пышная, стойкая,липкая. Вкус забористых кофейных зерен, жареный солод. При глотке легкая кислинка и ощущение лактозы. Послевкусие уже более шоколадное, липкое, весьма плотное для таких градусов, но питкое при этом.

Bottle. Cloudy, brown with a very small head. Aroma is a malty with hints of toffee and brown sugar. Taste is more hoppy then I expected.
