I. P. Agent Holly Hoppington is out in the cold - literally. Perched high atop the alpine slopes on the outskirts of Oslo, she surveys the windswept terrain below.

She’s been tasked with transporting an ancient Norwegian strain of brewing yeast called Kveik down the steep off-piste and into the withered hands of a mysterious bearded brewmaster known only as The Blue Parrot. The clock is ticking. No time to pine for the fjords on this mission.

Kveik is the final piece of the puzzle. Once added to a brew that brings together malted and raw grains and Cryopop!, Citra, Eclipse & Incognito hops, the Kveik will supercharge the IPA (Norse, of course) with notes of tangerine, mango, pineapple and fresh pine resin.

Suddenly, a terrible CRACK! from high above. A cornice breaks free from the peak and sends a massive slab of ice thundering down the slopes, obliterating everything in its path. She pushes off on her skis in a desperate race against the oncoming wall of snow.

 Can she make it to the farmhouse in time?
