Producer Background
Founded in 2010 by Kiwi and Aussie duo Scott and Cam, Eight Degrees Brewing set out to bring global brewing inspiration to Ireland’s emerging craft beer scene. The brewery’s name is a nod to Ireland’s latitude and also the ideal serving temperature for beer — a clever reflection of their playful yet precise brewing philosophy. Over the years, Eight Degrees has gained a reputation for pushing boundaries with ingredients, hops, and fermentation techniques, all while maintaining an approachable core range.
Their flagship beers, such as Howling Gale Pale Ale and Sunburnt Red Ale, helped define modern Irish craft beer in the 2010s. The brewery has since expanded its reach and capabilities, developing a barrel-ageing programme and experimenting with everything from New England-style hazies to farmhouse saisons. In 2018, Eight Degrees joined forces with Irish Distillers, further enhancing their barrel-aged series with casks from leading whiskey brands.
Today, Eight Degrees sits proudly alongside international icons like German Beer and Belgian Beer, while standing as a cornerstone of Irish Craft Beer. Their creative, boundary-pushing approach makes them one of Ireland’s most exciting and respected breweries.
