About This Beer
Siren Memento Modern Best Bitter is a beautifully balanced and refreshing 3.8% beer crafted by Siren Craft Brew, one of the UK’s most innovative and respected breweries. Designed as a modern interpretation of the classic Best Bitter style, Memento offers a lighter, more vibrant profile while still paying homage to the traditional malt-forward character that defines the category. It sits perfectly within craft beer Ireland selections for drinkers who want flavour without intensity, making it a brilliant sessionable option with plenty of character.
Best Bitters have long been a staple of British brewing, with their focus on biscuity malt, approachable bitterness and gentle hop presence. Siren’s “Modern” twist lifts the style with brighter hop aroma, cleaner citrus notes and a more refreshing finish, making this beer both familiar and contemporary. For those who enjoy classic-inspired beers, you can explore more unique and hybrid styles in our broader other beer styles range.
