For the third year in a row, we’re hosting our international tasting festival Winter Affair, and just as long we’ve been brewing collaboration beers with some of the participating breweries. It’s a uniqueopportunity to get to know each other better, share insights, and combine our brewing know-how. Beers brewed as part of the Winter Affair Gossip series are the result of these meetings – blending brewing cultures, unique recipes and a shared love for craft across borders and continents.
With Slovak brewery Firstep, known for their modern beer styles and fearless approach to pushing boundaries, we decided to try something a little different. Instead of a classic NEIPA, we ventured into an experiment with cannabis terpenes – aromatic compounds that lend the beer a herbal, resinous and subtly earthy character reminiscent of fresh cannabis.
The base is built on a proven hop duo – Citra and Nelson Sauvin. Citra brings notes of citrus and tropical fruit, while Nelson adds a dry white wine aroma, gooseberry and a touch of spicy depth. Combined with the cannabis terpenes, this creates a bold, modern NEIPA that smells unlike anything you’re used to – wild, fresh, and surprisingly balanced.
