It's pronounced the same as vinegar.

I was finally right about something.

15 minute interview with the founders of Kinnegar, which most people are going to find out they mispronounce, from RTE at the weekend. Mentions a significant problem in sourcing cans due to the huge increase in demand - that they still have the core line in bottles is probably an advantage here.

Kina gaar is how most people pronounce it.

The lads on the Mother Mac's zoom call were giving it a fierce, west coast "Kina-gaarrrrr".

My ex from LK was very quick to sort that out for me as well. I've kept the tradition on ever since.

Pretty sure the manager of McHugh's in Artane pronounces it that way, too, and they've brewed a Road Trip beer with them!

If White Hag's shamrock ale wasn't up your street as a St.Patrick's Day beer, Kinnegar have a more serious offering coming out.

Can't wait to get this. I loved their black rye IPA, their session & normal rye IPA and even the Brewers at Play rye lager they did. :P

Beanstalk · 25-02-2021 04:56PM

Not many other Irish Breweries focusing on the Rye as much for sure! Nice to get that spiciness every once in a while!

Love me some Kinnegaarr.. been a while since they had anything new.

Got a delivery from CraftCentral only today too.. typical!

New Juicy Pale Ale from White Hag announced too - Magic Mist - sounds right up my street!

Drinking it now. Quite like Atlantan, but more bitter finish

Insect Overlord · 25-02-2021 10:51PM

Found a bottle of Leann Folláin I'd forgotten about. Thought it might make the United match more fun. It didn't. -_-

Still a great stout though!

Effects · 26-02-2021 11:07AM

I spotted that new Leann Folláin last week, and assumed it was just some of the December one that was making it's way back onto the shelves.
I'll give it a try, but I was underwhelmed by the first one.

Effects · 26-02-2021 08:03PM

I had the Leann Follain earlier. Much better than the last one. The sherry cask really adds a lot to the flavour.

Some of their core (are they core?) beers like Atlantean are really good. I liked the SMASH IPA series as well, for the most part.

I do agree with people who give out about some recent White Hag beers, but my observation would be that the clangers have mainly been the flavoured stouts and maybe some of the sours?

Their flavoured stouts / Dark Druid series are far too sweet for my taste, but they've got a big fanbase I think.

Outside of the core Puca series, they haven't really been doing much in the way of sours if you think about it.. certainly none that comes to mind. I think they've embraced sours a lot less (outside than core) than other breweries in recent years. Also, not to my taste, so I'm glad.

As I've heard them indicate previously, their "Spree" series (Shamrock Shake / Moccachino) are more for showing a fun side where the likes of "SMaSH" are for showcasing the malt and hop used.

I've a can of mint chocolate stout sitting there for ages (ok, a couple of weeks) and every time I pick it up I just shudder and put it back down... will try it today, worst case it gets poured.

From my POV they led the way with sours and then it came to a shuddering halt just as it became popular as a genre.

I'm hoping they can expand that range again, I think they had a lime and matcha one that was superb that didn't stick around for very long. Same with In Cahoots.

My other half absolutely loved that one too..

.. have asked about the potential of bringing it back a few times but no dice!

Their original Heather sour was fantastic and amazing value.
The barrel aged one is also excellent but much dearer than the original.

Of the puca range, I've only likes the lemon, but I really like that.

I always made a point of getting some pink Púca in for the outdoor drinking in the summer months. Lovely stuff though some other breweries have eclipsed it recently.

For me, that one veered too much into alco pop territory for me. Just didn't taste like beer at all, to me.

Game changer, O'Hara's are bringing out their stout in a can, with nitro.
