BEER 

Picture

Organising our beer list: a controversial subject. After much deliberation, countless straw-polls, a hastily organised caucus and the penning of several haunting protest songs, we decided to group our beer collection into broad style categories. These are not designed to be compliant with the BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) style guidelines but an indication of the style you can expect, interspersed with occasional tasting notes & anecdotes of questionable veracity.

The RidicuList:
These beers are just ridiculous, meant for sharing, sipping or staring at in wonderment!
Land & Labour Spon 2 375ml                     5.8%  Ireland            14.50
SPON: 2 YEAR BLEND is a Lambic-inspired spontaneously fermented beer. Brewed with a traditional turbid mash & boiled for several hours with aged hops before being cooled overnight in our Coolship. 
Each beer has had a spontaneous fermentation in wine barrels where it remained as it evolved & matured for up to 2 years. This blend is assembled from barrels brewed on the 8th April 2018 & the 9th March 2019. Bottled on the 23rd Nov 2019. Released in May 2021.
Land and Labour Screaming Trees 375ml          5.2% Ireland              14.50
Screaming Trees was brewed with juniper needle infused brewing water & fermented with Voss Kveik yeast. In the glass it’s full of citrus. It’s gentle woody & herbal notes tied together by a pleasing juicy acidity. This beautifully weird & delicate beer has been maturing & evolving here since 2017, waiting patiently for its time to shine
Land & Labour Crimson 375ml                    5.5%  Ireland             18.50
Crimson is our kriek framboise blend. We aged 1 year old spontaneously fermented beer on 830 grams per litre of sour cherries for 6 months. Before bottling we blended another Spon beer aged on 300 grams per litre of raspberries with the cherry beer. The final assemblage of 75% Cherry beer & 25% raspberry beer transcends both their individual selves.
To’Ol Considered Concentrations 440ml           3.9%     Denmark         25.00
Petite Saison open-fermented with fresh Elderflowers, conditioned in stainless-steel and blended with ex-Chardonnay barrel-aged Saison. 
Omnipollo Noa Pecan Mudcake 330ml               11%       Sweden         11.50
Noa Pecan Mudcake is firmly a dessert beer. Not necessarily a beer to be enjoyed with dessert, but a beer to be enjoyed as dessert. This is as close to liquid mudcake as things get. Though oddly the very chocolate-y, cloyingly sweet taste manages to hide the pecan of the title as well as the 11% ABV.
Gypsy Hill Big Baller 440ml                     11.3%     England        10.30
Big Baller is exactly that, a triple IPA version of our core favourite ‘Baller’. At 48g/L this could be the heaviest hopped brew we’ve ever made. Mosaic, Citra and Ekuanot smash out everything you want from this style – huge dank, juicy, tropical flavours. Rounded out with a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel.
Whiplash Velouria 440ml                          8.2%     Ireland        8.20
This boyo is extra creamy and oaty for that velveteen cream dream. It’s gooseberry, sav blanc, pineapple and passionfruit screaming and trampolining from the glass.
Dot Brewing Farmhouse ale w/ Limoncello cubes 330ml  7% Ireland          8.00
A pale farmhouse ale aged in white wine barrels, transferred to stainless and rested on a bed of 10 year old zesty limoncello chestnut cubes. 
Dot Brewing Pale Ale Aged in Sauternes Barrels 330ml 6.2% Ireland         8.00
A bright pale ale aged in French Oak Sauternes barrels for 6 months. Bright vinous aromas with gooseberry and peach with a light French Oak and Rye spice.
Mikkeller Passion Pool 440ml                     4.6%     Denmark         7.00
Mikkeller San Diego Passion Pool Gose is their legendary passionfruit gose is enveloped in juicy tropical fruit, mild salinity, and a befuddling drinkability. Restrained acidity and zippy carbonation
Third Barrel Painted Black IPA 440ml             7%       Ireland         8.50
This Black IPA was brewed with Irish pale malt and Carafa, and loaded with 20g/l doses of Simcoe and Citra. The end product is a black beer that bursts with Pineapple and Grapefruit aromas backed up with a toasty malt backbone with hints of chocolate and coffee.
Dry & Bitter Oculus Orbis DIPA  440ml            8.4%     Denmark         10.00 
The third instalment of The Voyage Within series has a hit of El Dorado and Citra in the whirlpool, which is intensified by a double dry-hop of Strata, Galaxy and Mosaic. Notes of heavy pineapple and candied fruit give you visions of tangy tropical sweets.
De Ranke, XXX Bitter 750ml                       8.5%     Belgium         22.50
XXX-Bitter is a variation on the existing XX-bitter, where an additional 50% more hops is added. Full-bodied bitter beer. 
Dot Brewing Stacked Barrel Aged Peated Stout  330ml 8.2%      Ireland      9.50
A Foreign Extra Stout aged in Irish Peat Single Malt ex Bourbon barrels for 6 months. A light wood fire smokey character with underlying chocolate/coffee biscuit & vanilla flavours.
Dot Brewing 4 yr old Barrel Aged Wild Raspberry 375ml 7.2%    Ireland      17.50
A light crisp ale aged in bourbon barrels for 4 years, transferred to stainless with 200 litres of raspberries for 2 months blended back with 4 month old barrel aged pale ale.
O'Brother Opus One Whiskey BA Imp Stout 440ml Can  12.5%     Ireland        10
Imperial Stout aged in Fercullen 18 year old single malt and 8 year old single grain whiskey barrels.
Porterhouse Around the Clock Imp Stout 330ml          12%.     Ireland     12.00

A mash bill of seven different malts complimented by seven separate hop additions, brewed continuously over the space of 24 hours. A whole day’s brewing resulted in an immense concentration of malt flavours. The resulting beer was matured in freshly emptied bourbon and sherry casks from the Dingle whiskey distillery. The outcome is a rich smooth dark Imperial Stout.
De Glazen Toren Canaster Winterscotch Ale 750ml       8.7%.    Belgium      15.50

The winter seasonal from De Glazen Toren, this ale is rich in chocolate and roasted flavors. Full-bodied and dark. A perfect winter warmer.
De Glazen Toren Canaster Lentebier 750ml              9%.      Belgium      15.50
Traditionally a lent beer, “lentebier,” would have been brewed by monks as a stronger beer to provide some extra nutrition during the 40 day fasting period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.  This special version of their standard Saison is double hopped in the boil and has a late addition of hop flowers grown locally in the Aalst region of Belgium.
De Glazen Toren Canaster Cuvee Angelique 750ml        8.3%.    Belgium      15.50
A Belgian Strong Ale that pours dark amber with red highlights and a fluffy off-white head.
Aromas include candied fruits, caramel, yeast, and hoppy citrus with notes of almond, pepper, mild spice and apricot. Taste follows the nose but includes lingering notes of raisin and other dark fruits as well as coffee, bread, molasses and red wine. Lively carbonation helps support a smooth and medium-bodied mouthfeel and the impressive 8.3% ABV is remarkably well-hidden. The finish is long and dry with a touch of bitterness.



​Lager:
The world's most consumed beer style, traditionally aged for weeks to attain a fine effervescence and a silky charm, these are some of our favourites:

Barrelhead Brewery, Hopburgh Helles                   4.7%       Ireland       7.80
​

INDIA PALE ALE:
Hopped up version of the Pale Ale style, the addition of hops here adds a dry finish with grapefruit like pithiness. Allegedly the style developed when extra hops were added to sustain the freshness of British beer on its carriage across the water to India. ‘Unlikely’, say most beer experts. Delicious nonetheless.
