About This Beer
Pole Star Sour is the result of a dynamic collaboration between two Irish innovators — Dot Brew and Skellig Six 18. Brewed in Dublin and inspired by the coastal elements of County Kerry, this 4.2% kettle sour offers a bright, saline twist on the classic tart beer style.
Dot Brew, renowned for its barrel ageing and flavour experimentation, teams up here with the gin and whiskey specialists from Skellig Six 18 to craft something truly unique. The beer channels zippy citrus and light acidity, with a sea breeze minerality that brings it all together in session-friendly form.
Designed for sour lovers and curious explorers alike, Pole Star Sour proves how craft beer Dublin continues to grow in complexity and character. Its gentle tartness and crisp finish make it an excellent choice for both seasoned fans of sour styles and those dipping their toes into this refreshing beer category.

About the Brewery
Dot Brew has built a name for itself as one of the most exciting and progressive breweries in the Irish craft beer scene. Based in Dublin, they specialise in small-batch beers, often barrel-aged or boldly hopped, with creative collaborations at the heart of their ethos. Skellig Six 18, meanwhile, brings distilling craftsmanship and coastal inspiration from their base in County Kerry.
This beer represents a celebration of Irish independence, innovation, and flavour. As part of our Irish Craft Beer range, it showcases what’s possible when two worlds of brewing and distilling collide.
Food Pairings
Pole Star Sour pairs beautifully with oysters, crab claws, and other fresh seafood, as well as goat cheese, citrus-dressed salads, and Vietnamese dishes. Its acidity and salt-kissed finish also make it an excellent aperitif.
