Eight Degrees Brewing

8 Degrees Brewing. Two Guys, one from Australia the other from New Zealand. Trained at a Beer Institute in Berlin, Germany and now brewing beer in Cork, Ireland. If they venture any further West, they will be heading home again. Scott & Cam started off in very different fields, Accountancy and Engineering, but now they are pursuing a passion for brewing beer, thats our kind of career move.

Sunburnt Irish Red Ale - "Like an Irishman on holiday in the Canaries, this beer has a red tint and a chilled out, mellow feel". Perhaps you need to be an Irishman to undertsand this descripton, but its spot on. Ireland is a sunshine starved country, so send most of us to a warm climate and we will enjoy a little too much sun on day 1. The rest of the vacation is spent looking lobsterfied!

​On the pour its predictably dark in colour, rich red & brown. Slight creamy head, retained long enough for a pcture but quickly thins out. Its Malty with some fruit on the noise, but the real taste is in the pudding. So like an overheated Irishman, melting into a sunbed I puckered up for a taste. Satisfyingly hoppy with plenty of Malt. Just the right amount of carbonation and a fulfilling aftertaste. Good effort overall

We got this bottle with a case from Beer52.com
