  • THE TOOLS

    Deep russet in color, our Irish Red is full of hearty, roasty character inspired by the red ales of Ireland.  Brewed to suit the cool rainy days (or any time in a pub), we use roasted caramel malts for a rich smooth malt backbone and balance them with earthy English hops for a comforting & satisfying brew.

  • THE TRADE

    To create this brew’s deep red color and backbone of malty sweetness we use a combination of two-row pale males and Caramel 60.  To balance the smooth roastiness we use earthy East Kent Goldings and English Fuggles hops.  Their subtle bitterness and aroma provide a delicate complexity for a rich, smooth & satisfying brew.

  • THE LEGACY

    Originally brewed in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1710, Irish red ales are known for their rich and smooth flavor, while still being balanced, making them ideal  warmer days  yet pleasantly cozy  during chilly ones.
