About This Beer
Brehon Brewhouse Drumlins Mountain IPA is a standout 6.8% Mountain IPA brewed in rural Co. Monaghan, showcasing the creativity and quality that define Brehon Brewhouse. Mountain IPA is a hybrid style that blends the soft, fruity, hazy qualities of New England IPAs with the crisp, pine-forward bitterness of West Coast IPAs. Drumlins achieves this beautifully, resulting in a beer that is juicy, aromatic and refreshing without losing the clean, bitter kick that hop lovers crave.
This beer delivers expressive flavours of mango, peach, citrus peel, grapefruit and resinous pine, all supported by a smooth malt base. It offers a rounded, full mouthfeel without becoming heavy, making it ideal for fans of hop-driven craft beer Ireland who want both aroma intensity and drinkability. If you enjoy exploring hop-forward beers, make sure to dive further into our IPA and Pale Ale selection.
