Description
Cloughmore Brewery is nestled in the Mournes above Carlingford Lough, this unique location allows them to combine the pure mountain water from Northern Ireland’s most famous mountain scape with the finest hops and malt, the IPA is then infused with handpicked Heather and the Granite Larger is meticulously matured to provide potent, smooth flavour.

The beers are contract brewed at Whitewater (using different recipes to their own-brand beers) for Noreast distribution.

Bottle at The Garrick, pours black with a large off-white head. Nose is fairly restrained, with light roasted malt. Flavour brings out roasted malt, toasted crusty bread and some metallic notes. Nothing much doing here. It's pleasant enough.
