BREWING @ SAMPLE-STUDIOSAn Grúdaire Chatach was back to her old tricks boiling up some premium brews this week. First, a fine cider made with quality concentrated British apple juice, light spray malt, yeast and local Cork honey to produce a sparkling, medium dry traditional country cider of exceptional quality, strength and flavour. Racked and bottled with a abv of 5.3%. Next is a full-flavoured brown sugar lager made with Finnish grain extract, light spray malt, double hops, and fine Irish dark brown sugar to produce a crisp, medium-bodied lager with a subtle caramel undertone
