The ring visible on the label of our 40. beer from ART series was traditionally used to dry and store kveik yeast cultures! It was made of strung wooden blocks, which were (and sometimes still are!) dipped in a yeast thicket and then hung to dry. The dried yeast was kept in good condition for months or even years. In 2015, this medium was used to renew the kveik culture after 25 years of being dormant, thanks to which we can now enjoy the taste of fermented beers with its use!

Soon you will be able to experience the power of the fruity aroma produced by these cultures in our latest beer brewed in cooperation with the Nepomucen brewery: Kveik DIPA!

ART+40 Kveik DIPA It owes its intense aroma to double dry hopping with Citra, Galaxy and Columbus varieties, the combination of which resulted in notes of pineapple, mango, citrus and green hemp. But… the main role in this beer is played by Kveik yeast, which was isolated in the 90s from the home culture of the Norwegian Brewery located in the city of Stranda. Beers fermented by them can be characterized primarily by a unique, intensely fruity profile – you need to try this one!

Style:

A combination of a DIPA hoppy punch with the intense fruityness received thanks to the fermentation with Kveik yeast. Remember to drink fresh – that’s when it amazes the most!

Malt/extract:

The double version of IPA has a definetely higher extract than the standard IPA – in this case it is 18⁰ P. A solid, light base of oat flakes and Pils malt allows us to emphasize the intense hopping and yeast aroma.

Hops:

Columbus is somehow the “progenitor” of many new wave hop varieties. It has an interesting aromatic profile that harmonizes perfectly with other classics of beer revolution. We decided to combine it with Citra and Galaxy in this beer, which resulted with a tropical hit and filled the beer with notes of pineapple, mango, mandarin, nectarine and green hemp (dunk).
