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.

Pours a cloudy yellow colour and a white head. Aroma's are quite light, a bit little dank, a little bit juicy and a little bit sweet. Flavour is light sweet and light bitter. Light medium bodied. Finish is moderate bitter. A hazy hopped blonde, not a NEIPA imho.

Tap at Kompaan. Almost clear dark golden with white head. Spicy rye, bread, sweet malts, spicy and weedy hops with some grass and fruit peel as well. Quite some spicy notes from not just the rye or seems. Light cheesy. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a bit creamy feel. OK.
