My favourite craft beers are created in Kinsale by Blacks Brewery. They now have an extensive range and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them!

My personal favourite is their High Viz IPA, and it’s not because it has an ABV of 8.5 it is because it is a fantastic beer! I am definitely a pale ale fan and is really suits my tastes. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the other fine beers in their repertoire – Kinsale Pale Ale (KPA), the Black IPA, The Session (good for those out for the day, and night, at 3.5% ABV!!), Rocket Ship IPA (very hoppy and with an ABV of 6.5%), and the crowd funded Beoir #1 with a high ABV of 9%. They also have their Model T Stout – with a regular stout and rum edition. A great lineup I’m sure you’ll agree!

Blacks recently created a limited edition corn mashed white spirit that was inspired by traditional US moonshine, calling it Black Moon XXX. By the look of it there were only 10 bottles available for sale and I’m pretty sure they were snapped up very soon after creation.

If you love your beer then you will love the creations from Blacks of Kinsale! They’re available in all good pubs and off-licences, classic craft beer worthy of the name.
