Beer News No Reply

O’Hara’s Brewery have teamed up with Tullamore D.E.W. to brew a limited edition ‘Irish Wit’. The beer is a take on the classic Wit style and is brewed using 50% wheat malt, flaked oats, local ale malt and fermented with Tullamore D.E.W.’s own yeast as part of a mixed culture fermentation.

The collaboration was based on the idea of designing a beer specifically to pair with Tullamore D.E.W. whiskey.
