The beers we have on tap this week ending 14/11/21 are:
-
Jalapeño Lime Gose €5.00 /⅔ Pint 4.8% ABV
A concept created by Emma as the first of our Staff Series. Tart, salty, mouth-watering and packed with fresh sweet jalapeño flavour and aroma. 50c from each purchase will be donated to Limerick Animal Welfare.
Our Staff Series will be a sporadic series of beers conceptualised by a member of our team who will then work with Jono on how to bring it to life, brew it alongside him and then choose a charity for the beer release to benefit. For this beer Emma dove in at the deep end with a jalapeño lime Gose. We worked with Chef Alex McKeegan to source sweet, red, fresh jalapeños from The Netherlands that were grown on a sustainable farm. They were minced then added to a jackfruit and pink peppercorn brine. They soaked in the brine for 72 hours then were removed and roasted. After roasting we froze them for 24 hours to further break down the cell walls to release maximum flavour and aroma. Finally we brought the mix to 70 degrees in a water bath for 1 hour. We added the final result to the whirlpool during the brewing process! Additions of salt and crushed coriander finish the process.
Smokey Beer €5.80 /Pint 5.2% ABV
Smoke, bacon fries, Christmas ham and warm fireplace character all shine in this one thanks to the beechwood smoked malt.
In November 2019 while on a brewery equipment shopping trip to Germany we took a pilgrimage by train to the city of Bamberg, the home of smoked beer. We toured Weyermann, a malt producer, then rushed down to the Schlenkerla brewery to drink the famed smoked beer. As we drank our half litres of liquid bacon fries we told each other we'd brew one of these weird and wonderful beers with malt from Bamberg if we ever got our own brewery open.
There were a few complications along the way but we did get open and a month ago we took a very special delivery from Bamberg. Now we have liquid bacon fries of our own.
Prost!
Beyond The Pale - American Pale Ale €5.80 /Pint €3.85 /⅔ Pint 4.6% ABV
American pale ale brewed with Simcoe and Amarillo and dry hopped with Simcoe and Citra. Caramel and earthiness dominate with a refreshing hit of fresh grapefruit, lime and orange in the background and moderate bitterness for balance.
IPA #4 - American IPA €6.00 /Pint €4.00 /⅔ Pint 5.6% ABV
Fresh grapefruit dominates, backed by pine and some tropical fruit notes, with a soft bitterness Brewed with Idaho 7, Mosaic, and dry hopped with Citra.
Smoky Jack - Smoked Porter €5.80 /Pint €3.85 /⅔ Pint 4.5% ABV
Our second smoky beer to celebrate the changing of the seasons. This one is a smoked porter so expect plenty of rich chocolate and coffee layered with a smokiness from the beechwood smoked malt.
Named after our close friend Jack Brolly who walked into the pub looking for attention on his birthday on release day while we tried to think of a name. Happy birthday Jack! We love you xx
