Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailComeragh Challenger Bitter

Comeragh Challenger was first brewed for the Irish Craft Beer Festival which was held at the RDS in Dublin and after positive feedback was on tap again at festivals in Cork and Galway this year. Due to the positive reaction it received and thinking how ideal it would be as a summer tipple, Head Brewer Cormac O’Dwyer decided to release a bottled version as the ‘Brewer’s Select’ summer beer for 2012. Traditionally, English bitters are made with the very hard water profile which occurs at Burton-on-Trent, the home of brewing in England. In West Waterford, the hard water profile means flavours of the English bitter style can be replicated. Coupled with this, the beer is hopped solely with Challenger hops, an English hop used in many traditional bitters. At 3.8%, this is an easy-drinking beer that will be perfect for summer barbeque days!
