For our next episode of Brewer Stories, come with us to Trondheim, Norway, to meet the team at Monkey Brew. Known for their heavily hopped IPAs, barrel-aged imperial stouts, and mixed culture fermentation in oak foeders, Monkey Brew’s bold lineup truly reflects their motto: “Always Evolve.”
Brewer Beau Schiner explains how this philosophy led the team to join forces with Fermentis. “Fermentis is a company that is constantly striving to evolve and better their product,” says Beau. “So, it was a natural partnership for us.”
For this special collab, the goal was to create a fruity, hop-forward IPA that let the yeast and the hops headline. The team at Monkey Brew worked closely with Fermentis on the recipe and selected SafAle™ K-97. “We'd never used this yeast before, but it shone through as something exciting for us to try,” says Beau. The result? A crushable, just sessionable IPA named “Zyme” (Greek for yeast) in honor of the secret ingredient.
Hear how Fermentis' quality, customer service, and efficiency have helped feed Monkey Brew's creativity, and why they'll continue to rely on Fermentis as their brewery evolves.
