About This Beer
Hope Limited Edition 39 Pineapple & Passionfruit Sour is a bright, tropical sour beer brewed by Hope Beer in Dublin. At 4.7% ABV, this limited edition craft beer brings together juicy pineapple, tangy passionfruit, and clean refreshing acidity, making it a standout choice for anyone exploring craft beer Ireland or looking for craft beer delivered across the country.
This beer is all about vibrant fruit character and easy refreshment. Pineapple brings a juicy tropical sweetness, while passionfruit adds sharper acidity, fragrant aroma, and a lively tang. The sour base keeps everything crisp and balanced, giving the beer a clean finish that makes it highly drinkable. It is fruit-forward without feeling heavy, making it ideal for drinkers who enjoy sour beer with brightness, freshness, and proper balance.

It is a great choice for warm weather, casual drinking, mixed cases, or anyone looking to try something outside the usual lager beer options.

Food Pairings
Hope Limited Edition 39 Pineapple & Passionfruit Sour pairs especially well with fresh, spicy, and lightly sweet dishes. Its tropical fruit character makes it a natural match for Thai curries, Vietnamese salads, fish tacos, grilled prawns, and citrus-marinated chicken. The acidity helps cut through spice and richness, while the pineapple and passionfruit notes lift brighter flavours.
It also works well with BBQ chicken, pork skewers, halloumi, fresh salads, and dishes with lime, coriander, chilli, or ginger. The beer’s tart finish keeps the palate refreshed, making it a great option for summer meals, outdoor dining, and casual sharing food.
For cheese, try goat’s cheese, feta, or creamy soft cheeses, where the beer’s acidity can balance richness. For dessert, mango sorbet, passionfruit cheesecake, lemon tart, or pineapple-based desserts can echo the beer’s tropical profile without overwhelming it.
