Now what is this? A smoked beer?? It really isn’t as crazy as it sounds. 250 years ago virtually all beers were smoked (it’s true, Google it!), but with the dawning of the industrial revolution most of the smoke lifted. However, in the German town of Bamberg the flame has quite literally been kept alive and to this day the town’s brewers produce world renowned beers brewed with their own special rauchmalz (beechwood smoked malt). We’ve taken our best porter recipe and added a good measure of that same Bamberg Rauchmalz.

The hearty, smoky character of these beers makes them exceptional food beers. They pair beautifully with all manner of smoked meats, cheeses, and fish, and will impart a delicate smokiness into non-smoked foods.

Smoked Baltic Porter is the sultry sister of a storied style. Brewed with traditional German malts and hops, this dark lager gets its special twist from a hefty addition of Bamberg smoked malt. This smoldering, medium-bodied lager is sure to please.

(smoke without fire) is our smoky beer, here we have tried to make a beer as smoky as we can using our smoked malt from Weiermann. We have made a fairly dark and flavourful beer. Apart from the special malt the rest of the malt bill (86%) is smoked malt. You could also say that this is a smoked wheat beer, because we have used our wheat beer yeast here. The beer is not scary but actually very nice even for those that arnt smoke beer fanatics....try it and you will see.

Brewed By: 
Nøgne Ø
Self-Defined Style: 
Smoked Barleywine
Strength (ABV): 
11.0% ABV

Brewed just before Christmas, the Sunturnbrew honors the Norwegian legend that says that the sun turns on December 21, the shortest day of the year. While the rest of the world argues that the sun doesn’t turn at all, Nøgne Ø raises a glass to Norwegian stubbornness with this celebratory beer!

It's a smoked barleywine, brewed with 30% smoked malt and 20% rye. Brewmaster Kjetil reportedly had great fun playing with the recipe, ending up with a wonderful beer way out of style.

Best With: 
With an invigorating warming quality and a robust alcoholic content, barley wines are the ultimate night cap beers. The round, viscous body of barley wine and its fruity complexity enable it to pair well with fresh vanilla ice cream. Some experts also recommend pairing a rich barley wine with a strong Cuban cigar.
