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 unclear blonde. Medium sized, white head. Smell is full, fruity, bit 'candy'. Very mild cheesyness. Taste is mild cheesy ( not necessarily unpleasant yet ) . Sharply carbonated and a bitter spike . Thin body, dry mouthfeel. OK Session I guess, but I miss the hoparomatic features here. Especially if truly dryhopped.

[50cl bottle picked up in Donegal Town.] A bright reddish amber pour with a thick white head and moderate carbonation; grapefruit aroma with a touch of spice and yeast; nice fruity citrus taste with a touch of spice from the rye. Rather good.
