Norwegian Yeast Scream

Kveik yeast fermented Pilsner-Inspired Ale. A collaboration with Inland Island Yeast Laboratories. This experimental brew was inspired by Pilsners, but instead of using Lager yeast, we fermented it with a traditional Norwegian Kveik yeast. This Kveik strain ferments hot and fast, while still giving the clean, subtle flavors you would expect from a Lager. We dry-hopped with the new Contessa experimental hop that lends green tea, floral, and pear notes. This beer delivers crisp, clean, and unique floral & herbal qualities. The name Norwegian Yeast Scream was inspired by a Norwegian brewing tradition called “Gjaerkauk” or yeast scream, the practice of yelling into the kettle as the yeast is pitched to scare off malevolent spirit
