Mogwaï - Suppôt de Sapin - 5.7% - 44cl - Can
Description
NZ Vienna Lager with Fir. Despite all the mess it creates during the brewing process, the urge to use fir branches again had been tempting us ever since February 2022, when we produced Captain Kirk Douglas, a Douglas fir Cold IPA that we really enjoyed. Gaël’s uncle was once again roped in to fetch some coniferous wood for us from the forests around La-Petite-Pierre in the Northern Vosges. Just for a change, this time we used spruce and pine branches. While we were at it, we also changed the beer style, opting for a Vienna Lager. 96% Vienna malt for cereal and very slightly caramelised notes, a Lager yeast for a super-clean profile, the famous New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hop (without dry hopping) to pair beautifully with the resin from the fir and pine, and there we have a devilishly drinkable brew. In short, our beautiful fir trees, kings of the forest, have been stripped of their beauty to give us this sweet brew!
Mogwaï Beer Company is a young, independent brewery born out of the craft beer movement, which was founded in March 2022 in Mundolsheim, in the Strasbourg region. The first batches were brewed throughout May 2022, whilst the first beers were launched in June 2022 in 44cl aluminium cans and on tap. Our aim is to produce only limited-edition brews so that we can give free rein to our desire to experiment, whether with contemporary beers (Fruit Sour, NEIPA, etc.), themed beers (such as Pizza, Tarte Flambée, sauerkraut) as well as more traditional styles (Lager, Kölsch, Doppelbock, Bitter, etc.). We have no plans for a permanent range in the immediate future because… life’s too short to brew the same thing twice!
