Galway Bay Brewery Full Sail IPA 5.8% ABV 330ml

The Oslo was the start of Galway Bay Brewery and remains their flagship pub based in Salthill; their owners Jason O’Connell and Niall Walsh added a brewery on site in 2009, making The Oslo one of the country’s first brewpubs. Since then Galway Bay Brewery has expanded operations to 11 bars based in Galway and Dublin and have grown and re-positioned the Brewery just outside of Galway in Oranmore. They now produce four core beers along with a plethora of rotational beers that are released throughout the year.

Crisp and clean IPA hopped with Columbus, Cascade, Chinook and Eldorado.

The simple malt bill gives an ABV of 5.8% which carries the flavour and really allows the hops to shine through.

The hops used are of American origin, Colombus, El Dorado and Cascade (45 IBU). With multiple generous additions in the kettle and further dry hopped before it reaches you as fresh as it can be.

The acidity and hop bitterness in this beer makes it great for standing up to most spicy dishes, such as Indian and Mexican dishes. The freshness of the beer makes for a great companion to grilled meats and barbecues.
