ORIGINAL GRAVITY Kveik Pale Ale
To celebrate ten years of brewing at Eight Degrees, we wanted to showcase Ireland-based artists in our 2021 Original Gravity series. We ran a competition looking for artworks that reflected our Naturally Adventurous values, expressing our desire to explore and roam again. The winners are featured on this series of five limited beer releases, giving emerging artists a can-sized exhibition space.
#2: ORIGINAL GRAVITY Kveik Pale Ale with Michael Donnelly of Woolly Mammoth Design
Original Gravity
Style: Kveik Pale Ale
ABV: 5%
Summertime. Sunshine. Enjoying beer in the great outdoors. Our Original Gravity Kveik Pale Ale is packed full of Mandarina Bavaria, Cascade and Simcoe hops: lots of fruit and citrus flavours, with a backbone of grapefruit and pine. We’re adding Hornindal Kveik to the mix, a Norwegian yeast that brings some lovely tropical esters to the party. Just what you need on a camping trip in the mountains.
Artist: Michael Donnelly of Woolly Mammoth Design
After spending the last year and a bit inside, the first thing on most people’s minds is to get out and explore. Whether it’s climbing a mountain or swimming in the sea, camping outdoors or walking in the woods, the artwork depicts the beauty that this country has to offer and the amount of activities we can do now that lockdown has eased.
