Eight Degrees Brewing Co., Ltd.

Eight Degrees Brewing Co., Ltd.

Located in the beautiful Ballyhoura region of Irland, our mission is to make modern interpretations of traditional Irish ale and lager styles provinding distintive malt and hop characteristics. The results are a range of full flavoured tasty ales made from natural ingredients. Our brewmasters have achieved something special. Yes, they do make some fantastic tasty beer - but more remarkable than that - they are unique examples of a Kiwi and an Aussie working together in semi-harmony ... well apart from the odd sporting differences. Both Scott and Cam learnt how to make full flavoured beers as home brewers and then studied how to make these tasty beers consistently at the Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei ( VLB ) in Berlin. Cam, the Aussie, is trained as a chartered accontant - but more of an adventure seeking, sports crazed, beer loving king of accountant than the nerdy, pale, office bound kind. Scott, the Kiwi, is a water engineer who tries to mix his loves of epic travel and air guitar at any available opportunity. We purchased a 15 hectolitres ( 1 500 litres ) brewhouse from Carlow Brewing. The equipment was manufactured by Criviller Brewtech an Italian/Canadian company with over 50 years of brewing experience. We will have the ability to do a double batch ( 3 000 litres ) per brew day and have tank storage capacity od 15 000 litres consisting of 5 fermenters and 2 bright beer tanks. We have invested in a Meheen 6 head filler and capper bottling machine capable of bottling over 2 000 * 330 ml bottles per hour. Our kegging equipment will allow us to clean and fill up to 12 kegs per hour. Packaging : brown glass bottles ( 330 ml ) packaged in a six pack baskets in 24 bottle cartons. Available for retail sale as single bottles, six pack baskets and cartons; available for draught sales in 30 litre kegs, 50 litre kegs and casks.
