This bigger, juicier sister to our White Rabbit blends a punchy hop wallop with a creamy wheat mouth feel.
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.
Light bodied and crisp
The Púca was a mystical force, manifesting itself in multiple forms. It was believed that beer was created magically, a sort of soup possessed by the spirits; but wild yeast was of course the magic at play. For this cloudy, crisp, tart and fruity beer style, we have fostered our own wild yeast. It brings the complexity, the surprise, and it certainly bring the magic.

A beautiful pink mixed fermentation beer, brewed with our house cultivated wild yeasts.
Using our Púca Lemon as the base beer, we then added loads of ginger to the oil followed by additions of hibiscus, rose hips, strawberries, raspberries and elderberries.

St.Bernardus Wit is a traditional unfiltered Belgian wheat beer. It was developed in collaboration with Pierre Celis, the legendary master brewer who was the driver of the resurgence of white beer in the 1960’s.
St.Bernardus Wit looks distinguished and classic with its attractive, golden-yellow colour hidden under a subtle veil – it epitomises the authentic Belgian cloudy white beer. The fresh aromas of coriander and orange are perfectly balanced with the notes of pungent clove and fruity lemon. These zingy herbs combine with the creaminess of the wheat to produce a beer that is a masterclass in balance.
St.Bernardus Wit is also available in can with an artwork of Belgian illustrator Arno Kiss.
A bright, smoky nod to a Mescal Margarita, imagine you're kicking back under the Mexican sun!
A grist using heritage barley and oats was mashed and transferred to Chardonnay oak casks where it fermented and aged for three and a half years with wild yeast captured at Lisnagra Woods in Muff. Sweet and dry, with a clean and gentle tartness, expect flavours of white grape, vanilla fudge and a hint of orange in the finish.
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.
Harris Pale Ale is a well-balanced hop forward pale ale inspired by the Limerick hell raiser. A generous helping of Cascade hops gives this tawny colored ale, a citrus aroma and flavour. A blend of the finest pale and caramel malts gives a complex malt character while keeping the hops in the forefront.
