Brigid’s Ale is a celebration of Kildare and the heritage of St. Brigid, Ireland’s patron saint of beer. We developed the recipe with award-winning brewer Brendan Murphy.

It was important to us that this traditional ale reflects its place of origin and so it is brewed, using barely grown and malted in Kildare, and Kildare honey from our own bees who forage on the edge of the Irish National Stud. The style of beer is a nod to traditional braggots; beers brewed using honey or fermented honey as an ingredient.

Brigid’s Ale is a rich copper colour with a floral,  honeyed nose that is balanced with earthy hops. This ale has a pronounced malty character and a roasted mild coffee flavour, with toast and bread crust notes followed by a lingering, refreshingly bitter finish. It tastes like beer should. It is delicious on it own but would be great served with hard cheeses, honey roast nuts, or roast Curragh lamb.
