Dungarvan Brewing Company

We've recently listed the 3 beers produced by Dungarvan Brewing Co and they've been selling well.  The three beers are all in 500ml bottles and sell for €3.29 each. Here's more info on them - 

Black Rock Irish Stout

A good, old-fashioned bottle of stout. Robust, full-bodied with roasted barley flavours that give a slight coffee taste that is nicely complemented by notes of vanilla and aniseed.  Has been described as “how stout used to taste”! This stout can be enjoyed with robust meat dishes or on its own ‘from the shelf’.  Can even work as a “dessert beer”.

Copper Coast Red Ale
This is a smooth, fruity ale with a small amount of hop bitterness but more of a caramel taste  that makes it a lot easier to drink than the blonde ale. A lot of lager drinkers have said how they didn't *think* they were ale fans, but liked this one. Perfect accompaniment to any roasted meats as the caramel character of both complement each other nicely. 

Helvick Gold Blonde Ale

A refreshing, citrusy blonde ale but with a stronger bitter hop flavour.  More of a challenging drink than the others, appeals to people who are ‘into their beers’, but for someone not as used to trying other beers the red may be a better choice.  A good ‘sunny day’ drink. Works very well with spicy food .

Brainblasta

We've just started selling a few beers from The Porterhouse Brewing Co.  Brainblasta is a
big seller.  It's a deep copper coloured brew, offering the complexity of flavour from thrice
hopping and longer fermentation.  This leads to a fruit character from both the late kettle
Goldings and yeast fermentation.  It's 7% abv so be careful.  We have 4 Porterhouse beers
in stock - Brainblasta, Hophead, Porterhouse Red and Hersbrucker Lager.  They're €1.99
each or 4 for €7.

New Beer and an old friend

Here at Molloys we're trying to constantly add new and different products for our discerning customers.  A new lager that we've added this week is Tuskar lager, out first beer from East Africa, this 500ml bottle is in selected Molloys stores for €2.49.

Tusker Lager was the first beer in East Africa, being brewed there since 1922 by Kenya Breweries Ltd. Tusker lager is the winner or over 15 'Monde Selection Gold Medals'. The Monde Selection is an official institution established by the Belgium Government and checks for the highest quality standards in 

freshness, flavour and appearance.

Tusker is a medium lager at 4.2% It pours medium yellow in colour 

but with little of a head. It is quite crisp and 

clean and makes an ideal 'Sunday Afternoon' beer. Tusker leaves a satisfactory after taste. It tastes quite sweet and fruity. It has much more of a taste to it than many 

lagers and if you are looking for something different then this is probably worth 

checking out.

Victoria Bitter (better known as VB) was one of our best selling beers from Australia for many years.  Unfortunately with the constant mergers and takeovers of the world's largest beer companies in recent years, it became impossible to get VB here.  Until now that it.  We're delighted to have it back on our shelves.  You can now get a 6pk 375ml bottles for only €9.99. 

St Patrick's Day

Ahhhhh, who doesn't love St Patrick's Day.  Have a nice lie on, relax, join your friends for a drink and toast the great man himself with a pint or two.  While there's nothing better than a nice pint of Guinness to help you re-affirm your Irishness, we at Molloy's have seen a steady increase in demand for stout's that are not brewed at James Gate.  Blasphemy I hear you say!!!!...well read on!

Young's Double Choclate Stout (UK) 500ml btl 5.2% ABV
This Stout has been recognised as an award-winning brew on several occasions,

including: Brewing Industry International Awards Gold Medal Winner 2000, Silver Medal Winner 2002 and Bronze Medal Winner 1998 and 2004.

Luxurious and at the same time with a hint of decadence, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout has it all, delivering a satisfying, indulgent taste without ever becoming overly sweet.Pale Ale and Crystal malt, Chocolate Malt, a special blend of sugars, Fuggle and Golding hops, real dark chocolate and chocolate essence are combined to deliver a stout of with real credentials.

St Peter's Organic Stout (UK) 500ml btl 6.5% ABV

Fuggles’ and ‘Challenger’ hops plus a blend of 4 local Suffolk barley malts create an aromatic, strong, dark chocolate cream stout with a satisfying bittersweet aftertaste. Gold Medal winner in the International Beer Competition 2003 and 2004 and International Beer Challenge 2006 / World’s 50 Best Beers 2006. Plus it's one of the nicest bottles you'll see.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (USA)355ml btl 10% ABV

I know, even I was shocked when I saw the Americans were getting in on the act and producing stout. The famous Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, is an award-winning rendition of the Imperial Stout style, once made exclusively for Catherine the Great. They use three mashes to brew each batch of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavour through a blend of specially roasted malts. We brew it every year for the winter season. It is delicious when newly bottled, but also ages beautifully for years.

All these fine stouts are available in selected Molloys.
