COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our first beer is called Miner’s Red Ale and it was inspired by those who hand quarried Muckish Mountain for its pure white glass making sand. We like to think it would have quenched the thirst of even the driest miner after a ten hour day. Tasting notes Our easy drinking Miner’s Red Ale has a warm, reddish hue thanks to the Dark Crystal malt which gives a rich caramel flavour and subtly nutty aroma. The extra soft fruity aroma comes from the American Centennial hops, which also give a full bodied flavour that easily complements the rich malty character of the beer.  The result is a beer that’s not too bitter or too sweet Food match Miner’s Red Ale is a gorgeous, very drinkable Irish red that partners well with lots of food, especially Irish Stew.
