Description
Whiplash began as a side project for Alan & Alex back in 2016. Both working in brewing already, they rented tanks at the weekend and released single batch small releases for fun from their own place of work and other friend’s breweries around Ireland. Professional beer dudes who were gypsying for fun. Things escalated and by the end of 2017 Whiplash was its very own pain in the neck with the guys going full time, brewing Whiplash beer all over Ireland and Europe. 2019 saw the two complete their microbrewery build and establish Ballyfermot, Dublin as Whiplash headquarters complete with their own custom designed brewhouse delivering small batches of big beers. Now with a home, a kit and a small crew: Whiplash are very much the Dublin brewery at the forefront of all that’s modern in Irish beer.

Can from Bottle Baron (2018) and Against The Grain (2026). Hazy golden body with a medium off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of sponge cake, orange and dried grass. Flavour of orange, apricot, hop spice and musty lemon. Medium body with a smooth, fluffy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A delicious and well balanced IPA.

Can, shared with Ogi I guess. Black body, off-white head. Toasty malty aroma, some cocoa. Lean, dry taste, cocoa, light toast, light herbal bitterness, bit flat and watery but okay, a nice little porter! Certainly beat the hoppy stuff we had...
