About This Beer
Wide Street Krush Hazy IPA is a juicy and modern Irish craft beer brewed by Wide Street Brewing in Ballymahon, Co. Longford. At 5.2% ABV, this 44cl can delivers soft haze, bright hop character, and smooth drinkability, making it a great choice for anyone exploring craft beer Ireland or looking for craft beer delivered across the country.
Krush is built around the appeal of modern hazy ipa beer: big aroma, fruit-forward flavour, low bitterness, and a rounded mouthfeel. Expect notes of mango, peach, citrus, pineapple, and soft stone fruit, supported by a gentle malt base that gives the beer body without making it heavy. The finish stays fresh and balanced, with enough hop character to keep each sip lively.
This is a very approachable IPA for drinkers who enjoy juicy hop flavour but prefer a softer, smoother style. It offers plenty of tropical fruit and citrus brightness, while the haze adds texture and a pillowy feel. Fans of hop-led Irish craft beer can discover more in our IPA & Pale Ale range, where you will find more modern, aromatic, and fruit-driven beers.

About the Brewery
Wide Street Brewing is an independent Irish brewery based in Ballymahon, County Longford. The brewery has built a strong reputation among Irish craft beer fans for creative, flavour-led brewing, with a particular focus on mixed fermentation, wild beers, and modern small-batch releases.

Food Pairings
Wide Street Krush Hazy IPA pairs beautifully with food that benefits from tropical fruit, citrus, and gentle bitterness. It is an excellent match for spicy dishes such as tacos, buffalo wings, Korean fried chicken, Thai curry, chilli chicken, or loaded nachos. The juicy hop character helps balance heat, while the soft body keeps the beer smooth and refreshing.
It also works very well with burgers, fried chicken, grilled chicken, pizza, fish tacos, and BBQ food. The citrus and tropical fruit notes lift richer flavours, while the gentle bitterness cuts through salt, fat, and spice without becoming harsh.
For seafood pairings, try it with prawns, grilled white fish, crab cakes, or citrus-marinated dishes. The beer’s fruity hop character brings freshness, while the smooth haze keeps the pairing rounded. For cheese, go for goat’s cheese, mild cheddar, mozzarella, or creamy soft cheeses that allow the hop profile to stay in focus.
For dessert, mango sorbet, passionfruit cheesecake, lemon tart, or peach crumble can echo the beer’s fruit notes and make for a fun pairing.
