About This Beer
Third Barrel Hello Yes Czech Lager is a modern Irish take on a classic Bohemian style — and it comes with a winning pedigree. This Czech Lager is based on the 2024 National Homebrew Club winning recipe, designed by Richard and David Boland. Third Barrel Brewing were delighted to bring this award-winning recipe to life on a commercial scale, turning homebrew success into a polished, professionally brewed release.
At 4.1% ABV, this is a clean, refreshing lager built on balance and drinkability. It focuses on soft malt character, delicate floral hop notes and a crisp, dry finish. It’s a beer that doesn’t shout — it delivers quietly confident flavour, showcasing how craft beer Ireland continues to mature and refine traditional styles.
Lager brewing leaves no room for error. Precision fermentation, proper conditioning and careful attention to detail are essential. Hello Yes reflects that technical discipline, resulting in a bright, clear and exceptionally smooth Czech Lager that stands proudly within the Irish craft beer scene.
