It's in Norwegian, but you don't need to understand the words to see the thousand years old process, filled in the 1960s. Wait until you see the reverence they have for the yeast starter. Amazing stuff.

My eye's were on stalks as I watched, feck this stainless steel and starsan approach. At 21 minutes you see him use a manky piece of hessian sack to drain the boiled wort and to check if its ready to pitch the yeast he put's his grubby elbow into the cooled wort to check😳. Finally the yeast STARTER🙄, a disc of some sort of wicker with dried baby vomit is taking down from the wall and placed into the wooden vat and then its covered with more manky hessian😳. Sour me arse that stuff would seriously clane you out boy's 😂😂

Ha! Guessing without watching that they're brewing Kviek! Must get a watch later.
Funny how the elbow is calibrated to detect the perfect temperature for both babies baths and Norwegian yeast pitching. God works in mysterious ways,

What is that yeasty yoke? What was he using at the start of the boil? Was it leafs or wood chip? Feckin hell..
Some crowd of oul boys drinking flat beer out of a manky looking bowl .
I would say that tasted like shite.. Few trips to the out house after a belly full of that stuff.

Yeah, rather than hops, they used tops of young pines as a flavour/antiseptic.

If folks from the Nordics can eat surstromming a little bit of dodgy iffy yeasty beer is probably a relief

Kveik is a very rare survivor of a farmhouse ale tradition that used to exist all over Europe. The French/Belgian version would be the origin of saison for instance.
I can't imagine that it would taste unpleasant.
