RASCALS Ginger Porter brewed in BRU brewery is available in Farrington's Temple Bar,  Lagoona IFSC and The Old Boro Swords.
Its getting a great response and selling well so we have decided to do another contract brew with BRU while we get our own system up and running.

More Ginger stout or a different brew?

Talking to the Mark, manager at the Boro over a pint I suggested it would make an excellent summer stout as its very light and refreshing.

It would also a great "training" beer to get a person into the stouter end of the market!

Looking foreward to all your future offerings!

I had a few pints of the ginger porter last night. I think it is excellent. Perfect amount of ginger. I definitely recommended it. Hopefully it will still be on tap at our next meet up in the Boro.

I was saying the same thing last night, its definatly looks like it will be more drinkable then other stouts/porters on a warm day

Glad you like it guys. We feel it's a year round beer as well and have been asking everyone their opinion on this.
@Will - We will be making the same beer again,

Excellent news Cathal - Sorry I called it a stout though its a Porter as it says on the clip!

Note to self: Bring glasses when tasting beer - There a clue on the handle or the bottle!

What was the batch size? Do Bru deal with the excise and provide a route to market?

Its a 1000L batch.  The 3 pubs mentioned above took all this for the xmad period but we hope to have it in a few more places. The main reason we decided to do another batch is to have fresh beer at the Alltech event in Feb and then roll it out after that.
