Whiplash and The Big Romance have just announced the Irish beer event of Summer. Taking place on 13th July, Fidelity sees Whiplash bring some of their favourite brewers from around the world to the Mansion House, Dublin to celebrate the imminent opening of their own brewery.
This is REALLY REALLY EXCITING. Not just because we love Whiplash and we’re hyped for their brewery opening but because they’ve assembled a ridiculously good line-up of breweries for this beer bash including Other Half, Mikkeller, J Wakefield, Lervig, Northern Monk, Garage, Deya and Wylam to name a few.
ROOOOOOOOOAR. No wait, not that kind of Lion. Huddersfield’s Magic Rock Brewing Co have been acquired by Lion, one of Australasia’s largest food and beverage companies, which is a subsidiary of Japanese drinks giant Kirin.
Magic Rock was formed in 2011 by Richard Burhouse in an old out-building of the family business in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Since then, they’ve grown to produce roughly 2.7 million pints of beer per year, sold all over the UK and exported to more than 25 countries worldwide. READ MORE
Italian brewery, Birra Del Borgo, was founded by Leonardo Di Vincenzo in Borgorose, Rieti on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo. Acquired by A-B InBev in 2016, Leonardo still serves as CEO and continues to brew beer he’s passionate about, having given up a Phd in biochemistry to do so.
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.
