Description
At Kinnegar we pair brewing tradition with a contemporary sense of adventure to produce clean, crisp, full-flavoured farmhouse beers. The brewery is named after the nearby Kinnegar Beach 
just north of Rathmullan in County Donegal.

Our roots are deeply embedded in the hilly fields and farms of northeast Donegal. This is the perfect environment for the way we make beer. We don’t filter or pasteurise, and we let our industrious little friends, the yeast, carbonate the beer naturally during fermentation.

With the opening of K2, our new state-of-the-art facility in nearby Letterkenny in March 2017, the clinking of bottles coming off our line no longer mingles with the bleating of sheep from the surrounding fields. The farmhouse ethos at the core of what we do however remains the same.

44cl Blik van The Scrapyard. Zwart-bruin, beige kraag. Aroma van gras, tabak, wat grapefruit, leer, smaak volgt, redelijk veel tabak, licht fruitig. Drinkt lekker weg, mist wat oomph.

44cl Blik bij Scrapyard. Chocolade, rozijntjes, hint van koffie, iets fruitig. Is wat aan de dunne kant, maar dat kan ook komen doordat we deze aan het eind van een avond met een paar kneiters hadden. Prima bier om je avond mee te starten.

1 July 2020. At Dok Brewing Company. Cheers to the Teamleader colleagues! Pours hazy dark brown-black with a stable, small, frothy, tan head. Aroma of pink grapefruit, red apple, walnut, caramel, pine, biscuit, candied orange, brown bread. Taste has sweet orange peel, nuts & caramel, bitter herbs & toast with an edge of coffee. Piney hoppy finish, herbal, a bit spicy & rye-like, touch of warming vodka. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. BIPA with a twist, nice.
