Kveik

A family of heirloom farmhouse yeast strains, historically passed down within families and dried on wood rings for storage between brewing sessions, prized by modern brewers worldwide for fermenting cleanly at very high temperatures and producing unusual fruity flavors.

Profile

A yeast tradition rather than a finished-beer flavor profile — imparts clean fermentation at high temperature and distinctive fruity character to whatever style it's used in.

Tastes like nothing from the traditional European or American canon — worth seeking out through specialist beer shops for real stylistic novelty.
