    Kinnegar Rustbucket 44cl

    €3.30 +15c Deposit

    A standout Rye Ale from Kinnegar Brewing. Rustbucket expertly balances the distinct, peppery spice of malted rye with a generous addition of citrus-forward hops, creating a beer that is deep, earthy, and beautifully bitter.
    * **Long Description:**
    **Earthy Spice Meets Citrus Bite**
    Rustbucket is one of Kinnegar Brewing’s most unique and beloved creations. By incorporating a significant portion of malted rye into the grain bill, they have crafted a beer that offers a totally different dimension of flavor compared to a standard Pale Ale or IPA.

    Pouring a deep, hazy amber-red (almost rust-colored), the aroma is complex and earthy, featuring notes of toasted grain, peppery spice, and a strong backing of citrus and pine hops. On the palate, the rye malt provides a distinct, chewy, and slightly spicy character that adds incredible depth and weight to the beer. This earthy, bready foundation is brilliantly countered by a sharp, zesty hop bitterness that cuts right through the richness, leading to a long, dry, and spicy finish. It is a phenomenal beer for food pairing, working wonders alongside BBQ ribs, smoked brisket, or strong, mature cheddar.

    Kinnegar Scraggy Bay 44cl

    €3.30 +15c Deposit

    Described by the brewery as a “snappy little biter,” Scraggy Bay is Kinnegar’s flagship Irish IPA. Beautifully balanced, it combines a solid, sweet malt backbone with a vibrant, zesty bite of pine and citrus hops.
    * **Long Description:**
    **The Quintessential Irish IPA**
    If Limeburner is the crisp, light entry point to Kinnegar’s range, Scraggy Bay is the bolder, punchier older sibling. This beer is widely considered one of the best standard-bearer IPAs in Ireland, offering a masterclass in balance and traditional IPA brewing.

    It pours a beautiful, slightly hazy copper-gold with a thick white head. The aroma is an inviting mix of sweet caramel malt and vibrant, zesty hops, showcasing notes of grapefruit pulp, lemon rind, and earthy pine. On the palate, the term “snappy little biter” makes perfect sense. It leads with a smooth, biscuity malt sweetness that is quickly overtaken by a bold, resinous, and satisfyingly sharp hop bitterness. It finishes clean and dry, demanding another sip. It is an incredibly versatile beer, pairing brilliantly with everything from a hearty beef burger to a spicy Indian curry.

    La Trappe Blond 33cl

    €3.20

    A highly accessible and refreshing golden Trappist ale. La Trappe Blond delivers a beautifully balanced profile of sweet malt, fresh fruity aromas, and a soft, slightly bitter finish. A perfect introduction to abbey beers.
    * **Long Description:**
    **Crisp, Golden Monastic Perfection**
    While the Dubbel and Quadrupel offer deep, dark complexity, La Trappe Blond is the Koningshoeven Abbey’s answer to those seeking a lighter, more refreshing, but equally authentic Trappist experience. It is a bright, sparkling golden ale that brilliantly balances sweetness with a crisp finish.

    The beer pours a clear, radiant gold with a frothy white head. The aroma is fresh and inviting, characterized by sweet malt, a touch of honey, and soft, fruity ester notes of pear and apple. On the palate, it is light-to-medium-bodied and very smooth. The flavor profile leads with a gentle, bready sweetness that quickly gives way to a mild, pleasant hop bitterness and a clean, refreshing snap on the finish. At 6.5% ABV, it is surprisingly easy-drinking and serves as an excellent pairing for soft cheeses, grilled poultry, or a classic Caesar salad.

    **Dark, Rich, and Heavenly**
    As one of the core offerings from the Koningshoeven Abbey, La Trappe Dubbel is a benchmark for the traditional dark Trappist style. Brewed with dedication and centuries-old monastic tradition, it is a beer designed for contemplation and comfort.

    This Dubbel pours a deep, gorgeous ruby red with an ivory-colored foam.

On the palate, it is remarkably smooth and medium-to-full-bodied. The flavor mirrors the aroma, bringing forward a delicious, bready malt sweetness that slowly gives way to a subtle, balancing hop bitterness and a whisper of peppery yeast spice.

    La Trappe Quadrupel 33cl

    €4.00

    The crown jewel of the La Trappe range. This 10% ABV Quadrupel is an intense, warming, and profoundly complex Trappist ale. Expect luxurious layers of sweet caramel, dark dried fruit, port wine, and roasted nuts.
    * **Long Description:**
    **The Ultimate Trappist Indulgence**
    La Trappe Quadrupel is not only the heaviest ale produced by the De Koningshoeven Abbey, but it is also historically credited as being the very first beer in the world to be styled as a ‘Quadrupel’. It is a monumental beer of immense depth, designed to be sipped and savored like a fine wine or spirit.

    Pouring a deep, cloudy amber-brown with a dense tan head, the aroma is incredibly complex. It exudes notes of dark, sticky caramel, roasted almonds, ripe plum, raisins, and a distinct, vinous hint of port wine. On the palate, the 10.0% ABV provides a luxurious, warming mouthfeel. The taste is profoundly rich and sweet, packed with brown sugar, dark fruit, and molasses, but it masterfully avoids being cloying thanks to a very subtle, balancing bitterness in the incredibly long finish. It is the perfect fireside drink and an exceptional pairing for blue cheese or a dark chocolate fondant.

    €3.50

    An authentic Trappist ale brewed by monks at the Koningshoeven Abbey in the Netherlands. La Trappe Tripel is a golden, complex beer boasting fruity aromas of peach and apricot, warm spice, and a smooth, malty sweetness.
    * **Long Description:**
    **Authentic Dutch Trappist Mastery**

On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust (at 8.0% ABV), delivering a rich, malty sweetness that is beautifully balanced by a refined, dry hop bitterness and lively carbonation.
