The Legacy of Kinnegar Brewing

Kinnegar Brewing is a proudly independent Irish craft brewery, founded in County Donegal, Ireland. Named after Kinnegar Beach, the brewery is renowned for its commitment to high-quality, unfiltered, and naturally carbonated beers.

Since its founding, Kinnegar has built a reputation for bold flavours, traditional brewing methods, and a deep respect for the craft. Their beers are carefully crafted to balance drinkability with complexity, making them some of the most sought-after Irish craft beers.

Devil’s Backbone Amber Ale is one of Kinnegar’s most beloved beers, delivering a perfect harmony between malt sweetness and subtle hop bitterness. Brewed with top-quality Irish malt and hops, this ale is an excellent example of traditional Irish brewing with a modern craft touch.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Devil’s Backbone pours a deep ruby-red hue with a brilliant clarity and a creamy off-white head that leaves delicate lacing.
  • Aroma: The aroma is rich and inviting, with notes of caramel, toffee, and light roasted malts. Subtle grassy hop undertones add a fresh complexity.
  • Flavour: Smooth and well-balanced, featuring sweet caramel and biscuit malt flavours, complemented by a gentle, earthy hop bitterness. A touch of chocolate and light citrus zest adds depth.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a velvety texture, supported by moderate carbonation. The finish is crisp and refreshing, yet lingers pleasantly on the palate.

Perfect Food Pairings

Devil’s Backbone Amber Ale pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, enhancing the flavours of both the beer and the food:

  • Meats & Poultry: Complements grilled steak, roasted pork, and barbecue meats, where the malt sweetness balances the smoky, charred flavours.
  • Cheese Pairings: Works wonderfully with cheddar, aged gouda, and smoked cheeses, as the beer’s malty richness enhances the savoury depth of the cheese.
  • Seafood: A great match for grilled salmon, seared tuna, or fish and chips, where the beer’s caramel notes contrast the briny flavours.
  • Vegetarian Dishes: Enhances roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, and earthy mushroom dishes, where the toffee-like malt character complements the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
  • Desserts: Pairs exceptionally well with sticky toffee pudding, chocolate brownies, and caramel-based desserts, amplifying the beer’s sweet and roasted malt notes.
