About This Beer
Brewmaster Irish Lager celebrates the straightforward joy of a well-made pale lager: bright golden colour, tidy white foam, clean cereal malt and a crisp, refreshing finish. Brewed in Co. Louth by Brewmaster (Dundalk Bay Brewery & Distillery), it’s fermented cool with a clean lager yeast to keep flavours precise and refreshing, then properly conditioned to round out the palate. The result is a polished Irish lager that’s easy to enjoy on its own, with food, or as the dependable backbone of any mixed case for gatherings and matchdays. If your go-to order is something light, clean and satisfying, this is a fridge essential.
The recipe leans on quality pilsner malt for a gentle grain sweetness and sparkling clarity, with a classic hop bill providing soft floral and herbal tones plus a balancing, palate-cleansing bitterness. Importantly, the carbonation is dialled in to lift the aromas without feeling sharp, keeping the mouthfeel smooth and the finish brisk. Serve cold (but not icy), in a clean lager or nucleated pint glass to encourage a lively head and steady stream of bubbles. For more clean and classic refreshment, you can explore our Lager, Pilsner & Helles collection and build out your line-up.

About the Brewery
Brewmaster is the beer arm of Dundalk Bay Brewery & Distillery, a modern Irish producer focused on approachable, consistent styles brewed to a high standard. The team’s ethos is simple: use quality ingredients, respect traditional methods and deliver dependable flavour in every can. That philosophy shines in Brewmaster Irish Lager — a classic done right, with the clarity, balance and reliability you want from an everyday pint.
Food Pairings
Lager’s clean profile and crisp finish make it a natural with a wide array of dishes. Pair Brewmaster Irish Lager with beer-battered fish and chips, grilled chicken skewers, wood-fired pizza margherita or a classic burger with cheddar and pickles. Lighter options sing too: Caesar salad, grilled halloumi with lemon, or a cold seafood plate (prawns, smoked salmon, crab). For snacks, think salted crisps, soft pretzels, or toasted nuts — the lager’s gentle bitterness refreshes the palate between bites. Cheese pairings are easy: young cheddar, Gouda or a mild goat’s cheese complement the beer’s subtle sweetness without overpowering its delicacy.
Planning a mixed case for a crowd? Start with this lager as the crisp anchor, add a session pale for hop fans, and include a dark option for contrast. You’ll find plenty to choose from across our shelves, whether you’re curating for a BBQ, matchday or a simple night in.
