St Valentine's Day

St. Valentine, the patron saint of love, was executed in Rome (for performing Christian marriages) and buried there in the 3rd century.  But much later an Irish priest was granted permission to exhume his remains, and now his skeleton lies under the Whitefriar St Carmelite Church in Dublin.


In 1835 an Irish Carmelite priest, Fr. John Spratt, used his Irish charm to convince then Pope Gregory XVI to dig up St. Valentine’s remains and take them home as a gift to his fellow Irishmen and women.


Now love-seeking Irish turn up at his site every St. Valentine’s looking for help in finding that special one. 


To celebrate St Valentines Day, Molloys will have Jacob's Creek Sparkling Rose and White Wines at only €9.99 a bottle (11-14 Feb 2011).  We also have Comtesse Alexia Champagne at €22.99 a bottle and Mercier Champagne (owned by Moet) at €31.99.

Non Alcoholic Beers

It's January again and some of you may be looking to try something a little different for New Year.  Below are some of the non alcoholic beers & ciders that we have in Molloys.

BECKS NON ALCOHOL

What this brew lacks in alcohol it makes up for in flavour. Beck’s brewmasters stop the fermentation process before alcohol can form, but not before they achieve the distinctive full-bodied taste and aroma of the finished brew. Light amber in color, Beck’s Non-Alcoholic boasts a full, rich, thick head and balanced bitterness.

Erdinger Non Alcohol

Very popular in Germany, this brand is advertised as as multi vitamin drink to athletes. Erdinger Weissbier 'non-alcoholic' is brewed with the customary care and experience gained from over 110 years of brewing tradition and in accordance with the highest quality standards.

Erdinger's master brewers have succeeded in retaining the aromatic, full-bodied Erdinger character - even without alcohol. It is this unique flavor which has spread the fame of Erdinger Weissbräu far beyond the borders of Germany.

Baltika 0

A huge favourite and definitely my favourite non alcoholic lager.  You wouldn't know it was alcohol free when drinking.  This Russian brand has been repeatedly declared the best alcohol-free beer at Russian and international professional contests. In 2006 the Baltika №0 received a most prestigious award: a silver medal in the Alcohol-Free Beer category at the International Tasting Contest of the Brewers’ Association — the World Beer Cup 2006. In 2008 this brand was awarded a bronze medal in the Low Alcohol Packaged category at the Australian International Beer Awards contest as well as the Platinum Osiris in the Best Alcohol-Free Beer category of the professional Osiris Contest at the X Big Moscow Beer Festival. In addition, this brand was declared the best by the results of people’s tasting at the beer festival in Moscow.

Kopparberg Non Alcoholic Pear Cider

The first alcohol free pear cider, it delivers the same great taste as with all
Kopparberg ciders.  Available in 500ml bottles.

Brooklyn Brewery

We've really expanded our 'Beers of the World' range recently and one brand that we've added to is Brooklyn Beers. The Brooklyn Brewery is a leading Craft Brewer in the US. It is based in New York where Brooklyn Lager is the 5 best selling Draught beer.
In the late 1800’s the Brooklyn area in New York, was one of the largest brewing centres in the United States being home to over 45 breweries. Nowadays the Brooklyn Brewery, still based in New York, is one of the leading Craft brewers in the United States. They produce a wide range of beer varieties including Lager, Pilsner, EIPA, Brown Ale and Summer Ale.

The brewery’s flagship beer, Brooklyn Lager is the No.5 selling draught beer in New York, no mean feat considering it outsells the likes of Miller, Coors Light and Heineken there. Brooklyn Lager is an intensely flavoured Hoppy beer with a slightly bitter taste.  It is now available in Ireland in 6 pack format (6*355ml).

Brooklyn Pilsner is a refreshing golden lager beer, brewed in the style favored by New York’s pre-Prohibition brewers. In the 1840’s, the pilsner style emerged from central Europe to become the world’s most popular style of beer. Like its ancesters, Brooklyn Pilsner is traditionally brewed from the finest European two-row barley malts. German-grown Perle and Hallertauer hops provide a crisp, snappy bitterness and fresh, floral aroma. We ferment Brooklyn Pilsner at cool temperatures and then give it a long, gentle maturation (lagering), which results in a beer of superior complexity and smoothness.

Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale ’55 is a classic English pale ale, brewed with the prized Maris Otter Malt and Fuggles, Willamette and Cascade hops. Maris Otter is an old malt variety that yields an incomparable biscuity flavor. Pennant is chesnut-colored, medium in body with a hearty malt palate and smooth hop finish. This beer is a tribute to the Brooklyn Dodgers 1955 world champion baseball team.

Brooklyn Brewery's Oktoberfest is a crisp and refreshing, with delicate caramel notes and a bit of yeast flavor. This is definitely on the drier and lighter-bodied side for the style.
