Zurich Bier Festival 2024

10. Probier Festival

This Muscat IPA is a collaboration with Finnish urban winery, Noita. We delved into the historical brewing styles that combined grape + grain, looking at how different yeasts can bring forward complex aromas (thiols) not just within grapes but also the hops. 
Using the finest organic Austrian Muscat grapes, shipped from the vineyards that supply Noita, we kept the base light, with a combination of Pilsner malt + wheat. Balancing the hops within this IPA against the characteristics of Muscat, we chose Nelson Sauvin, Talus + Motueka hops to enhance, but not overpower, the bright citrus notes of gooseberry. The Kveik + Sauvignon Blanc yeast during fermentation has heightened these thiols, bringing forward the fruitier notes of the hops.

This spiced sour is packed full of autumnal, warming seasonal flavours. With our signature, smooth saline base with oats and lactose, we invited our North Beer Club members to assist with the brew at Springwell. We put them to work cutting up plum and apples to roast before adding them to the whirlpool with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. During fermentation we added fresh, organic blackberry puree and apple concentrate to boost that deep, vibrant red colour and boost those autumnal flavours. 

This North Beer Club recipe is one for the season, and a true collaboration with those who have supported us throughout the years.

Transmission

This light, refreshing pale ale is juicy, soft and refreshing. A blend of wheat and oats in the grist provide a pillowy backbone, carrying forward the succulent aromas of organic peach and lychee puree. Finishing with a dry hop of Citra and El Dorado has highlighted the mouth-watering flavours of Seville orange and tart lime, balancing against these tropical fruit additions. A super sessionable pale, ready to welcome in the spring.
