• Dungarvan’s head brewer, Cormac O’Dwyer, has put together a selection of small specials which will include Rye-PA (which was debuted at the Brewer’s on the Bay festival in Galway this year), dry hopped versions of our Helvick Gold and Copper Coast, plus a few other surprises which will be announced as they are tapped at the RDS.
• Eight Degrees will launch their Ocht-oberfest beer, a Märzen-style lager ABV 6.4%. Chat to Cam and Scott to understand why this lager has been brewed eight degrees west of Greenwich on the eighth month of the year - and served at precisely eight degrees Celsius.
• Breweyed brewery will be launching a new company brand and a new beer at the RDS festival. Their new company name is 'Bo Bristle' and the new beer is 'Bo Bristle IPA' 5% abv.
• Hilden will be bringing down its Twisted Hop Pale Ale in draught for the first time to see what the RDS crowd make of it. It will also have “Barney’s Brew” available in “Cask” - unfiltered and naturally carbonated. Originally brewed to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Barney Hughes, famous Belfast baker and Philanthropist. Brewed with the addition of Cardamom Coriander and Black Pepper and lots of Wheat for a unique taste!
• O’Hara’s will be launching a number of new products at the festival including: Oak Aged Leann Folláin (whiskey barrel aged, in cask), O’Hara’s Winter Star (cinnamon, fresh orange peel and coconut spice up this juicy Amber Ale) and O’Hara’s Natural Blonde (the best of Irish malts combined with a single hop to make this thirst quenching blonde beer).
