STORY & CONCEPT DESIGN
WE CHOSE THE 52-HERTZ WHALE, REFERRED TO AS THE WORLD’S LONELIEST WHALE, AS OUR THEME SINCE IT RESEMBLES THE BRAND OF THE BREWING PROJECT'S 1ST COMPETITION WINNER-WHALE BREWING FROM K. PONG.
K. PONG STARTED LEARNING ABOUT BEER AND SOLO BREWING IN KALASIN BEFORE KNOWING THAT MORE PEOPLE SHARED HIS PASSION FOR CREATING BEER THROUGHOUT THAILAND. WE CRAFTED THE FIRST BATCHES OF WHALE AT NOMAD BREWERY, IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. OUR FIRST BATCH WAS 5.2% ABV AND 52 IBU'S IN HONOR OF THE WORLD'S LONELIEST WHALE.
WE'RE NOW BREWING AT HOME IN THAILAND AND HAVE ADJUSTED THE RECIPE SLIGHTLY FOR A PERFECTLY BALANCED PALE ALE.
