Bradleys Launch The Real Capital IPA
The beer-can with "The Real Capital" standing out on the label is sure to catch the eye. The liquid inside makes those taste buds stand up. This well muscled beer (6.2%) is a collaboration between Bradleys (founded 1850) and the much younger DOT Brew (from the unreal capital). It is exclusive in store and online to Bradleys Cork. Flaked and malted oats with a healthy helping of Idaho-7 and Amarillo hops are the key ingredients.

Rascals Have A Rice Rice Baby For You!
There's our brewer Josh enjoying the fruits of his labour. And it's fair to say there's a bit of fruit: we've used pure lemon and lime zest in the brewing of our new 4.9% rice lager which we've called Rice Rice Baby.
It’s a very clean and crisp style of beer; rice has lower amounts of protein than malted barley, giving an end result which is really refreshing. For Rice Rice Baby, we’ve added pure lemon and lime zest in the whirlpool for a proper zingy citrus flavour which complements the lager style. The beer is refreshingly dry so you enjoy a superb lemon and lime flavour on top of that taste experience. With this beer we’ve gone for Citra hops: the most citrusy aroma hop in the world of beer. It’s an exceedingly simple and subtle lager.
It's on sale now! Get a single case or a mixed case with another Rascals core beer or limited edition release. €1 from every webshop order this month is being donated to The Iveagh Hostel in Dublin.
And that discount? That is for newsletter subscribers only who'll get 10% off ALL beer orders made before Saturday 22/05/21
