Additional Info

Vocation Life & Death IPA is a bold and hop-forward 6.5% ABV beer that has become a flagship for Vocation Brewery and a staple in the craft beer Ireland scene. This classic IPA is brewed with a trio of American hops—Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic—delivering huge waves of tropical fruit, citrus zest, and a punchy pine backbone. It’s a must-try for fans seeking craft beer online or from a trusted craft beer shop Dublin.

Pouring golden with a slight haze, Life & Death IPA immediately impresses with its intense aroma of mango, grapefruit, and pine resin. The flavour profile is layered and complex: juicy tropical sweetness balanced by a firm bitterness that keeps the beer grounded and satisfying. Its full-bodied character and bold hop presence make it a beer to savour, yet it remains clean enough to keep you coming back for more.

Vocation Brewery has established itself as one of the UK’s most exciting modern breweries, producing beers that combine big flavour with consistency and quality. Life & Death is their best-known creation, loved by IPA drinkers across Europe and a standout in our IPA and Pale Ale range.

About This Beer
Vocation Life & Death IPA is the beer that helped put Vocation Brewery on the map. At 6.5% ABV, it’s a full-bodied, American-style IPA brewed with some of the most expressive hop varieties available. The recipe focuses on Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic, each bringing their own unique qualities—Simcoe for earthy pine and resin, Citra for bright citrus and tropical notes, and Mosaic for a punch of berry and mango. The result is a hop-forward beer that manages to balance intensity with drinkability, a signature of modern IPAs.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep golden with a slight haze and a persistent white head.

  • Aroma: Bursting with mango, grapefruit, citrus zest, and pine resin.

  • Flavour: Juicy tropical fruit layered with zesty citrus, underpinned by bold bitterness and earthy pine.

  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied yet smooth, with a clean, dry finish that leaves you wanting more.

About the Brewery
Founded in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, Vocation Brewery has quickly grown into one of the UK’s most respected craft brewers. Their philosophy is rooted in producing beers with big character and clarity of flavour, without compromise. Life & Death IPA remains their flagship beer, consistently celebrated for its balance of tropical fruit, citrus sharpness, and resinous bitterness. It exemplifies the brewery’s dedication to showcasing hops at their best.

Food Pairings
The punchy bitterness and juicy hop character of Life & Death IPA make it a versatile partner for food. Pair it with spicy Indian or Mexican dishes where the hops complement bold flavours and cut through heat. Grilled meats such as steak, burgers, or barbecue ribs are also excellent matches, with the beer’s body standing up to rich, smoky flavours. For a lighter option, try it alongside fresh salads with citrus dressings or sharp cheeses like blue cheese or aged cheddar.

For those who enjoy hop-forward beers, our IPA and Pale Ale collection is the perfect place to explore more beers in this style, from session-strength options to high-ABV double IPAs.

Browse our Belgian Beer, German Beer, Irish Craft Beer, or Beer Kegs collections to discover even more from around the world.
