About This Beer
Brewmaster Irish IPA shows exactly why Ireland’s modern brewing scene is thriving: bright hop aroma, polished balance and a finish that stays crisp and clean. Brewed by Brewmaster (Dundalk Bay Brewery & Distillery) in Co. Louth, it delivers a classic IPA profile with a distinctly Irish touch—citrus and tropical notes riding over a light biscuit malt base, all wrapped in a refreshing, repeatable 5.6% ABV. The result is a fridge-friendly staple for hop lovers who want flavour and drinkability in equal measure. If you’re exploring hop-forward styles, you’ll find plenty more to love across our IPA & Pale Ale collection, from crisp West Coasts to soft, hazy pales.

About the Brewery
Brewmaster is the beer label of Dundalk Bay Brewery & Distillery, an independent Irish producer focused on freshness, consistency and accessibility. The team’s philosophy is simple: brew clean, expressive beers that showcase quality ingredients and careful process control. From their hop-forward IPAs to their smooth nitro stouts, Brewmaster aim to deliver a dependable pint-at-home experience that stands up to pub standards. With Irish provenance at its core, the range highlights how well modern techniques can complement classic styles—bright aromatics, tidy malt texture, and finishes that leave you ready for another glass.
Food Pairings
Citrus-driven bitterness and a crisp finish make this IPA a natural with flavourful, lightly fatty or spiced dishes. Try fish tacos with lime and coriander; Nashville-style hot chicken; or a chargrilled burger with cheddar and pickles—the hop bite cuts through richness while citrus notes echo tangy dressings and sauces. At home, pair it with a margherita pizza, a Caesar salad, or a loaded nacho tray; for cheese, reach for mature cheddar or Comté to bounce off the beer’s citrus snap.
