TOPIC:

I'd like to start a new thread to act as an aggregate for new beers as they pop up (in a similar vein to the new breweries thread). This will help the tickers amongst us and allow for discussion of interesting new beers.

Cotton Ball have been bottling since just before Christmas, their lager (stronger at 5% vs 4.2)and a new one, Indian summer which has been getting praise on the Twitter:

"bottle,regular
Our hybrid beer, this rare beauty captures the best of ale and lager, the finest Irish lager malt, crystal malt and ale yeast are the secret to her svelte body. Directly bittered using a unique combination of three new world hops and a citrus aroma gives Indian Summer the sweetest summer glow."

Also Kelly's Mountain have a new one, Revolution

Anyone else spot anything good?

I had Hooker's new IPA straight from the fermenter on Saturday. Does that count?

Pilgrim, Styrian and Cascade. Only been in the fermenter a few days so will need a bit of conditioning and then it's going into bottles and maybe a cask or two. Not sure on ABV.

Had a taste of it in Middleton last week hmm, I can see why it was popular, definately a session beer and a beer I would have bought a pint of if I hadn't had the KPA first!

New Trouble beer announced as Gate Crasher, and English-style IPA.

Torc Wheat Beer is now pouring in several bars in Killarney, plus one in Castleisland. I've updated the Directory accordingly.
