Introducing Raw Power, a raw IPA with hits of gooseberry, peach and mango, brewed in collaboration with our friends from Norway's mighty Nøgne Ø.

Ranked as one of the world's top 100 breweries (Ratebeer.com), Nøgne Ø have been making incredible beer since 2002. With a brewery name that comes from the old Danish for 'Naked Isle' – a phrase taken from a 19th-century Norwegian poem – echoes of tradition still run through their thoroughly modern beer.

Raw Power is available to pre-order online now for shipping on Monday 24th Feb.

The beer is launching at The Collab, The Signature Brew Taproom & Venue and the The Brewer's Bar at our brewery on Friday 21st – and available from all good bars/venues on Monday 24th February.

With that in mind, when we invited Nøgne Ø's head brewer Edvard Hortemo to our East London brewery to create a beer, we got our heads together decided it would be fitting to use a traditional Scandinavian brewing technique known as 'no boil' to create a tasty, modern, raw IPA.

Signature Brew's head brewer Tom Unwin explains, "The lack of boil in the process gives the beer a massive body as proteins that would normally settle out in the boil are retained. It's heavily hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic and Citra giving flavours of gooseberry, peach and mango. There's also generous amounts of wheat and oats to add to the hefty body."

Nøgne Ø's head brewer, Edvard Hortemo continues, "The idea for the beer was to take something traditional and turn it into something contemporary. And also maybe to shock a fellow brewer with a little twist to the mashing regime."

"We brewed this beer the way its been done since the stone age, by mixing hot, almost boiling, water with the grains and let the temperature slowly drop throughout the brewing process until fermentation temperature is reached.

"I think the whole process of ancient farmhouse brewing is very intriguing," Edvard expands. "This fascination has resulted in a few raw ales at Nøgne Ø over the years. Brewing with Tom and Signature Brew was a great experience, the fact that we did something out of the ordinary opened up some good conversations about brewing in general!"
