When Norwegian Lervig Brewery and Chinese Slowboat Brewery decided to do a Collab brew together, they reached out to us for a fruity yeast to make a modern Juicy IPA. We were happy to suggest the Ebbegarden multi-strain for this project, and it turned out great!
Slowboat Brewery, founded in 2011, is one of Beijing's most prominent craft breweries. Established by three friends—Daniel Herbertson, Chandler Jurinka, and Yinan Zhao—Slowboat has grown to become a key player in China's burgeoning craft beer scene. The brewery's name and ethos are inspired by the metaphor of a slow boat journey, emphasizing the enjoyment of the brewing process and the exploration of flavors. Slowboat Brewery stands as a testament to the potential of the craft beer movement in China. With its diverse beer offerings, community involvement, and commitment to quality and sustainability, Slowboat continues to shape and inspire the craft beer landscape in Beijing and beyond.
Lervig Brewery, based in Stavanger, Norway, is renowned for its high-quality and innovative craft beers. Since its establishment in 2003, Lervig has grown from a local brewery to an internationally acclaimed producer, celebrated for its diverse range of brews and commitment to excellence. Lervig Brewery stands out as a beacon of quality and innovation in the craft beer world. From its humble beginnings in Stavanger to its current status as an international craft beer powerhouse, Lervig continues to delight beer enthusiasts with its diverse and exceptional brews.
Lervig and Slowboat have got their minds in sync to create a modern era Juicy IPA brewed with true Kveik yeast from Kveik Yeastery and Ebbegarden farm in Stordal Norway. The yeast is a perfect IPA strain due to its fruity tropical flavor it imparts as it ferments at high temperatures. They used generous amounts of Citra, Mouteka and Simcoe hops to allow the yeast to pair with each other. The beer itself is juicey 8,2% abv with haze and soft supple mouthfeel and balance. Tastes like a pineapple starburst, Pavlova and a Bellini cocktail all in one sip.
