When Norwegian Lervig Brewery and US based Alesmith Brewery decided to do a Collab brew together, they reached out to us for a fruity yeast to make a West Coast Kveik IPA. We were happy to suggest the Stalljen multi-strain for this project, and it turned out great!

The second installment in our Kveik Culture Collab series is a West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with our friends at Alesmith (San Diego, USA). This beer features locally grown malt from Jæren Malt and is fermented with a unique Norwegian Kveik yeast strain, Stalljen, from Kveik Yeastery. For an authentic West Coast hop profile, we used the holy trinity of hops: Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic, imparting notes of citrus, orange rind, pine, and tropical fruit, all balanced with a firm bitterness.
