Otherside Brewing Co ‘Scotch Ale’ barrel-aged release
Otherside Brewing Co has released its first barrel-aged beer as part of its Experimental Series. A Scotch Ale, the new brew has been barrel-aged in bourbon and rye barrels from Woodford Reserve and Heaven Hill distilleries.
“It has a balanced bourbon character, it’s present but it’s not overpowering, so it has come out smooth and drinkable. There’s a bit of kettle hop presence, but the bitterness should relax over time and enable it to age gracefully,” Otherside brewer Rhys Lopez said.
The Scotch Ale is a “seriously-limited” east coast can release, on tap exclusively at Otherside Brewhouse in Myaree. At 8.2% ABV and 30 IBU, this beer tastes of biscuit and dried fruit, with a hint of chocolate and maltiness. With minimal bitterness, this brew exhibits warming flavours of toffee and bourbon.

Slipstream Brewing Company ‘White IPA’
Available from today at its cellar door, Slipstream Brewing Co has launched a White IPA.
The brewery has used both malted and unmalted wheat give a slightly lighter body to this American-style IPA. This, the brewery said, has left more room for the hops to come forward across the pallet.
