Like blitzing down the Ballyhouras on your bike with an icy wind in your face, this delivers a refreshing crisp smack around the gills. It pours a pale golden colour and the malty sweetness is well balanced by the American Chinook, Amarillo and Centennial hops.

Aroma: lots of hops! It’s a hop bomb with citrus and floral characters, particularly grapefruit at the fore, with hints of lime, melon and lychees.
Flavour: hoppy fruit with a biscuity malt body.
Aftertaste: rounded bitterness that cleanses the palate with a lingering sweetness from the single malt, preparing the palate for the next sip. Read Less

Like an Irishman on holiday in the Canaries, this beer has a red tint but with a chilled out mellow feel.
A traditional Irish style with a twist, it has subtle caramel notes balanced with a pleasant fragrant aroma from New Zealand and Australian hops. Goes really well with roast beef, lamb or a traditional Irish stew, but beware: keep out of direct sunlight. Read Less

Citra Single Hop IPA 5.7%

The first release in our series of three single hop beers. Three of our favourite hops; one grist bill to unite them all!

The malt body for these brews is simple, yet elegant, carrying and conveying the wonderful hop flavours and aromas.

First up is Citra, probably the world's most renowned hop variety. Is it all it's cracked up to be? We decided to showcase this hop's fabulous tropical fruit flavours: think lychee, passion fruit and guava, with some ripe stone fruit. Read Less

Our Seisiún IPA shows that a beer doesn’t need a high ABV to have lots of flavour. Initially brewed so that the brew crew could have a low-alcohol sipper at beer festivals, this sessionable IPA has transcended its origins to become one of our most popular beers.

We’ve taken lots of aromatic hops and packed them into a crisp and refreshing beer that comes in at just 4.5% ABV.

You may have formerly known this beer as Summer Days Seisiún IPA; we decided to rename it so that it’s not just tied to those two weeks of sunshine in August. Read Less

Eight Degrees Brewing was awarded a bronze medal in the 2014 World Beer Cup in one of the most hotly contested categories -

the American-Style Amber/Red Ale category. It won the medal for its Amber-Ella beer, an ale made with American and Australian hops balanced with malt tones.
Amber-Ella was initially brewed only last September, as a ‘one night stand’ for the Irish Craft Beer and Cider Festival. Earlier this year it was named as one of Beoir’s 2013 Beers of the Year and, by popular demand, it was brewed again and again Read Less

We travel a distance from our normal ultra-hoppy IPAs for this Wayfarer Sour IPA. Sour takes the place of bitterness in this style, but we couldn’t resist bringing hops along for the ride. En route, it is dry hopped, bringing out the sweet tropical fruit aromas of Amarillo and Citra. The sour comes comes from eight strains of super 8 lactobacilli, finishing things off with a tart bite. Approachable and easy drinking, this Wayfarer won’t leave you in the dust. Read Less

Big River is an Aboriginal tribe located just north of the Derwent in southern Tasmania. The Big River tribe lived so remotely, it was claimed that they were the simplest people on Earth. They existed in harmony with nature for millennia and now the spectacularly fertile land where they lived is prime hop growing country.
Our IPA showcases two wonderful hops from the region, Ella and Enigma. Read Less

The Chinook of the Pacific Northwest – also known as a ‘snow eater’ – is a warm, dry wind that blows down the side of the Rockies and can melt foot-high snow in a day. It is also the name of a Native American Indian tribe. A Chinook wind can substantially raise winter temperatures; we hope this beer will be your winter warmer.
Not by chance, Chinook is the hop of choice in this Red Indian Pale Ale. Deep, intense caramel malt flavours are cut beautifully with lots of hops, which bring a spiced orange feel to proceedings. It’s the perfect time for a warm, fuzzy glow. Read Less

This hazy beer oozes with tropical juicy sweetness. Oats and wheat, along with truckloads of hops, add a smooth, subtle mouthfeel. Championed in Vermont, New England, this cloudy IPA style is taking hop enthusiasts to another dimension. Bursting with hop aroma from heavy hitters like Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo and Mandarina Bavaria this ale is bound to pack a punch. It’s tropical fruit juice – with added benefits. Drink it fresh and enjoy the summer haze. Read Less

The second release of our three summer single hop specials. Three of our favourite hops; one grist bill to unite them all! The malt body for these brews is simple, yet elegant, designed to showcase the hop flavours and aromas.
This IPA features Mandarina Bavaria, the new hop on the block from Germany.

This beer is going nomad. An India Pale Lager (‘IPL’), it transgresses many stylistic boundaries with impunity, exploring and searching for unique flavours without adhering to rigid beer styles. This isn’t your typical lager so lacking in flavour and served over-carbonated and too cold. No, we have taken a clean and crisp neutral german lager base and allowed our new world hops, Cascade, Nelson Sauvin and Citra to shine. With bittering levels at 54 IBU’s, this lager packs a punch. Free your mind from any lager preconceptions, and let your taste buds wander into uncharted territory. Read Less

Rack 'Em Up Series #8. Aged in Jameson whiskey barrels.

We decided, with what’s happening on either side of the pond, to steer clear of imperialistic notions, old school vernacular and just go metric. We rammed the mash tun as full as we could with an excess of dark complex malts, added extra char for a slightly sinister twist and then aged everything in Jameson whiskey barrels from our friends in Midleton.

The culmination of our RACK ‘EM UP Series, this is a big bold stout. There’s a touch of sweet vanilla in there from the oak and lots of cocoa and dark chocolate to combine with smooth, spicy whiskey notes. Deep, dark, rich and rewarding, celebrate sinking a Black Ball this winter.

Tasting notes
Colour/appearance: deepest darkest black in the glass with a light coffee head.
Aroma: Chocolate. Fruity. Black cherry. Sweet vanilla. Irish cream. And that’s before you’ve even taken a sip…
Flavour: a deliciously full bodied sipper, sweet and smooth on the palate at first, with spicy whiskey heat at the end. It gradually opens up in the glass as it warms – this is a beer to drink at slightly more than 8 degrees – to reveal lots of creamy sweet vanilla along with fruity berries, particularly cherries and blackcurrants. You’ll want to get to the front of the cue for this one.
Aftertaste: a little char bitterness. Read Less

A brown ale is one of our favourite styles – but we couldn’t resist adding smoked beechwood malt for some extra intrigue! This is a malt-driven beer, packed with two row Irish malt, rye, wheat, dark crystal and chocolate malt for real depth and complexity of flavour.

This anti-protectionist IPA is all about thinking outside of country borders.
Aussie hops, like the people, are a bit brash and rough around the edges. We’ve taken two of their stars – Ella and Vic Secret – and overlaid them with the wonderfully smooth, floral American Citra hop to create a beer that is so much more than the sum of its parts. The result is a juicy sessionable IPA that will blow away the narrow minded rhetoric. Read Less

A traditional Irish ale style, Warrior is named after warrior monk St Fanahan, the patron saint of our brewery hometown in Mitchelstown, Ireland. St Fanahan was renowned for his legendary feats of strength in battle so we’ve brewed a Warrior that is not too heavy, at 4.7% ABV, but is strong to bursting with hops. There’s a decent toffee malt base to balance out the pine and grapefruit Cascade hop flavours. Read Less

A double IPA with double dry hopping of Simcoe, Amarillo and Enigma, this beer is an explosion of flavour. Expect a big hop aroma of pine, grapefruit rind, tangerine and peaches with a good assertive bitterness, followed by a dry finish that leaves your palate demanding more.

Like a supernova, this beer might just be your brightest shining moment of the night.

This Fruity Pale Ale, infused with kiwifruit and lime, has bright, vibrant hop aromas, coupled with a juicy, silky mouthfeel that pays homage to the New England IPA style. We’ve crammed it with aroma hops Citra and Amarillo, dry hopped with New Zealand’s finest – Pacific Jade and Motueka – and infused it with kiwifruit plus a dash of lime. Everything’s gone (just a little) green. Read Less

It’s no secret that Eight Degrees are pure hop heads and we always seek to understand these beautiful flowers and their individual flavours and aromas better. Our brewers have selected three of the sexiest hops from around the globe (well, Australia, New Zealand and Yakima Valley in the US) and paired them with a beer style that best reflects their characteristics. For best results, pour beer into a tall glass, get your nose in there, close your eyes and inhale. The aroma will transport you to those sunny hop origins.
The Vic Secret hop, named after a beautiful state in Australia, has long been on Cam’s brewing wish list. Only released in 2013, this new hop variety has quickly become renowned in the craft brewing world for its clean, resinous, tropical fruit notes, rivaling one of our other favourite Aussie hops, Galaxy.

An Irish Stout aged in Irish whiskey (with an e) barrels? Pretty Hot And Tempting!

Presenting Phat Phantom, which takes the best of Cork whiskey barrels and fills them with the best of Cork craft beer for a magnificent Mitchelstown and Midleton collaboration.

With lovely roasted notes, flavours of chocolate and a hint of clove and raisin, this tastes like Christmas pudding magic in a bottle.

Colour/appearance: opaque black with a cream head.
Aroma: dark dried fruits – predominantly raisins and prunes – dark chocolate, oak.
Flavour: a medium body with sweet fruity vanilla notes up front, followed by a measure of sharpness from the dark grains. A touch of hop bitterness and a dry finish of barrel-related tannins.
Aftertaste: smooth roasty aftertaste with a subtle whiskey glow. Read Less

We Irish get very excited by a grand stretch in the evening. With that in mind, Eight Degrees have developed one for your enjoyment.
This summer seasonal beer has all the flavour and delicious hop aroma of an IPA but is sessionable enough to be enjoyed while the evening stretches grandly. How can you go wrong with a premier hop line up like Cascade, Amarillo and the very sexy Vic Secret imparting orange, pineapple and pine aromas?
With Ireland’s location well north of the 50th parallel, our summers might not be terribly hot – but we can still enjoy a Grand Stretch. Here’s to a hoppy beer for a long, long summer. Read Less
