Bru Brewery: Off the Hook
A classic German-style Pilsner with a twist, Off the Hook delivers on the crisp, clean characteristics of a lager. Brewed from a recipe of four malts and finished with a modern dry hopping of Mandarina Bavaria hops. It has a soft, bready mouthfeel and aromas of zesty citrus. The delicate spicy notes from the lager yeast are emphasised by the beer’s lively carbonation. A bright and refreshing choice that will please palates of all lager lovers.

Kildare Brewing: Lockdown Extended
This is the cousin of our Lockdown IPA, similar malt bill with oats and wheat, but completely different hops to change it up. Azacca, Mosaic and El Dorado lead the line in this one, we also dropped the ABV to 5.8% to make it a bit more sessionable! Profits are once again headed to our local hospital to help in the fight and see us out of these last couple of weeks of Lockdown.
