winter in wellington

When summer is really picking up speed here in Europe, winter begins in distant New Zealand. June, July and August are the coldest months there and parts of the country even have snow. The winter season, even if it takes place at a completely different time, is very similar to ours: People move their lives indoors, comfort is on the agenda and activities such as drinking hot cocoa, sledding, visiting museums and meeting friends are high on the agenda in the course.

The perfect beer to go with it is ICE BREAKER BREWING’s Winter In Wellington. The India Pale Ale comes with a soul-flattering 7.0% alcohol content and is brewed exclusively with hops from New Zealand. The fine green umbels come from the Pikimai hop farm in the south of the island. Pikimai is run by a family and practices a harmonious mix of conventional and organic farming. The health of the soil plays a major role and gives the six hop varieties their unique taste.

For Winter In Wellington, the French brewers used Nelson Sauvin, Wakatu, New Zealand Cascade and Motueka. The hops shape the smell and taste of the IPA intensively and provide aromas of freshly cut herbs, tropical fruits and white grapes.
