It’s been a while since we banged out a lager and we’ve made no secret that we’re fans of hop forward crispy boiis so we present Blue Ghosts: a German Style Pils turned up to 11.

We’ve taken the traditional approach to this one by opting out of the new world hop additions and tried to make something that’s fully representative of all that is beautiful about noble hops.

For this run we made our way out to the goddam Swiss Alps to Whitefrontier where we made this Pils a very continental affair. Brewed with only the finest Alpine glacier water, we laid on lots of German Pilsner malt, Carapils and a touch of acidulated before using a very special and secret boil process, seasoned it with a light touch of Hallertau Tradition, then cast to whirlpool. What’s special here is we’ve packed just under 10g/L into that whirlpool addition of our two favourite noble hops – Hersbrucker and Saaz, pushing them to their limit to bring you all of their herbal, spicy and citrussy goodness without the need for dry hopping.

We’ve fermented Blue Ghosts on our favourite lager strain WLP833 - giving it all that great mouthfeel and malt complexity that the strain provides without interfering with that hop profile before allowing it the long cold sleep it deserves before packaging. What you get is this beautiful bright, hop laden but crispy lager – made for good weather and beer garden pints.

Contemporary Irish Red brewed with biscuit and red rye crystal malts for a nice depth of flavour

This bigger, juicier sister to our White Rabbit blends a punchy hop wallop with a creamy wheat mouth feel.

The Phantom Mórrígan, was one of the triple goddesses in Irish mythology. She was the shapeshifter and patron deity of revenge and magic who created the clouds of fog that the Tuatha Dé Danann used to conceal their identities. The Fog in our Hazy IPA conceals heaps of flavour and texture, perhaps unexpected for a beer of this gravity.

Description:
This is a golden, hazy and sessionable IPA, with a soft, juicy mouthfeel. Big citrus and fruity top notes accentuated by piney, dank undertones. The intentional haze is caused by withholding the finings in the kettle, allowing the proteins to remain in suspension, ultimately binding with the hop oils to deliver the freshest, hoppiest flavour possible.

Tasting Notes:
Golden hazy, with a hint of orange hues: topped off with a white fluffy head. Hop forward, juicy tropical and stone fruit, supported be dank, sticky pine. Intense tropical fruit, citrus and pine. Soft carbonation, dripping with juicy hops oils.

Ingredients:
Water, barley, wheat, oats, hops & yeast.

Astral Grains is all about the dark chocolate, coffee and dried fruit flavours we get from the blend of 5 malts that we use.

The idea was to create a beer that we could drink from 8am in the morning, all day, every day! A brew that you could make your ‘go to’ at any time and still function. So we took decided that this needed to be low ABV, ultra-pale, crisp, light and bang on in your face with the hops! The name comes from an old Black Country term in the middle of England my Great Granddad used to shout on his way out the door: “I’m going down the pub for a pint of neck oil!” Basically he wanted to drink his favourite local beer on mass and lube his thirst after a long hard day in the foundry. This is exactly what we do at the brewery. It’s our everyday, all day, go to Session IPA.

Fondly known as “Yellowcap”, Scraggy Bay is a balanced golden ale with a snappy little bite of hops.

Lough Swilly’s natural and cultural history is captured in the Irish and English placenames that mark its coastal features. Beneath the Knockalla Hills lies Scraggy Bay, giving us a local maritime name for a style of beer with a great maritime past.
