Kveik yeast and Kveik beer – the future of the industry?

Beer Brewing | The Brewers Forum 2022

Moderator:
Maria Markus, Freelance Journalist

Speakers:
Joan Montasell, Lallemand Brewing
Roman Jove Lleixa, Peninsula Brewery
Zoran Gojkovic, Carlsberg

Building upon the 2021 Brewers Forum session on “modernizing historical and preserved beer styles”, this session will focus on the technical aspects of Kveik and how these yeast strains can be useful for brewers: heat resistance, capacity to ferment quickly and at high temperature, flavor profiles and the beer styles that can be created/imitated (i.e. “lager”) thanks to the use of Kveik yeast. Our experts will share their producers and users’ experience on these yeasts, how they work in the brewery as well as reflect whether these yeasts have a future, to what extent and if a revolution of the brewing practices is coming.
