About
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.

Nice beer, but not as hoppy as expected for a black IPA. Whilst there is some initial fruitiness, the general flavour and finish is rather of a dry stout, with all the roastiness and maltiness of a black IPA but without the distinct hoppiness. Nevertheless a very good beer.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [300717]
Blonde, hazy, thin white head
Aroma of soft sweet fruits, ginger, not getting rhubarb as masked by ginger, quite fruity, fresh
Taste of fresh ginger, soft rhubarb, dab of cereal, nice flavour, interesting
Palate - Soft carb, light body, soft sour which is good, refreshing clean palate. Finish is light sour, soft fruits, soft cereal yeast linger
Overall - Very drinakable sour as many are too acidic, nice fruits

500 ml bottle, at Jenny Watts, Bangor. ABV 4.7%. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. Pale golden colour, large white head. Moderate aroma of pilsener malts, some citrus and dust. Citrussy and mildly spicy flavour, fairly dry. Okay, but not impressive.

500ml bottle from Brewdog online. Pours dark brown-black in colour with a foamy tan head leaving lots of lacing and aroma of roast malt, chocolate, spicy citrusy pine hop. Flavour is dark malt, roasted, chocolate & coffee, with citrus, woody pine and lingering earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy roast bitter finish. Quite drinkable black IPA.
