Additional Info

Hopburgh Schwarzbier is a finely crafted black lager at 5.3% ABV, brewed in Ireland with a blend of pale and roasted malts supported by traditional hop varieties. This Irish craft beer is created through a slow, cool fermentation followed by a minimum of six weeks cold conditioning, giving it a balanced body, natural carbonation, and a depth of flavour that sets it apart. As part of our Irish Craft Beer range, it offers an authentic take on the classic Schwarzbier style while showcasing the skill of modern Irish brewing.

The beer pours with a dark, almost black appearance highlighted by ruby edges, and releases aromas of cocoa, toasted bread, and light coffee. On the palate, you’ll find layers of roasted malt, caramel sweetness, and gentle nutty notes, rounded by subtle bitterness from noble hops. Natural carbonation and lengthy cold maturation create a clean, crisp finish with a smooth texture and long-lasting head.

Schwarzbier has its roots in Germany, where dark lagers have long been celebrated for combining roasted complexity with refreshing drinkability. Hopburgh’s interpretation honours that tradition while adding a distinctive Irish touch. Ideal with smoked meats, grilled sausages, or strong cheeses, this beer is equally enjoyable on its own for those seeking a satisfying yet approachable dark lager.

For more traditional European lagers, you can also explore our German Beer collection alongside our full Irish Craft Beer range.

About This Beer
Hopburgh Schwarzbier is a 5.3% ABV black lager that combines roasted and pale malts with traditional hops to produce a beer of complexity and balance. The brewing process involves a deliberately slow fermentation at cool temperatures, followed by an extended cold conditioning of at least six weeks. This approach allows the flavours to develop fully, while the natural carbonation ensures a smooth drinking experience and a lasting head. The result is a lager that is dark in colour but light on the palate, carrying the roasted character of darker styles without their heaviness.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep brown to black with ruby undertones and a creamy beige head.

  • Aroma: Roasted malt aromas with hints of cocoa, toasted grain, and soft coffee.

  • Flavour: Smooth layers of chocolate, caramel, and nutty malt, balanced by subtle bitterness from noble hops.

  • Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with natural carbonation, crisp on the finish, and highly drinkable.

About the Brewery
Hopburgh Brewery specialises in producing lagers that respect European brewing traditions while incorporating the best of Irish craft techniques. Their Schwarzbier is a standout example, showcasing how a carefully considered malt bill and patient conditioning can produce a beer that is both complex and approachable. With a focus on precision and quality, Hopburgh demonstrates that Ireland’s brewing scene can rival its continental counterparts in creating classic lager styles.

Food Pairings
This black lager is highly versatile when it comes to food. Its roasted malt character makes it a perfect companion to smoked meats, barbecued dishes, or charcuterie boards. The smooth bitterness also cuts through the richness of roasted vegetables, hearty stews, and traditional pub fare. For cheese pairings, it matches beautifully with aged cheddar, gouda, or even a strong blue, where the roasted notes complement the bold flavours.

Fans of dark but refreshing beers may also enjoy browsing our stout and porter selection, which offers further exploration of roasted malt character across different styles.
