Sleipner

India Pale Ale, IPA, is an English beer that was developed around 1840 with the goal to sail beer to the English colony, India. The British officers missed their pale ale from back home, however the beer could not handle the temperature fluctuations on the long journey from the British Isles, past Africa and to India. The British brewers therefore created a type of beer that was able to cope with the stress from the journey by preserving it with higher alcohol, lots of hops and a new style was invented. An Imperial India pale ale is developed in the USA and is brewed with even stronger new American hops and more alcohol. Sleipner is brewed with five carefully selected and very powerful American hop varieties and is for those who cannot get enough hops. A hop bomb of bitterness and aroma. Fermented at a slightly lower temperature which allows the yeast notes to promote the various hop varieties complexity and aroma. Should be enjoyed at 10-12°C, (50-54°F).

Sleipner is Odin’s eight-legged stallion. It can run fast like the wind and moves just as well in the air and on the ground. Sleipner mother is Loki, which transformed into a mare to lure the jötnar stallion Svadilfare away from his work to build the wall around Asgard.
