Northern Ireland’s newest craft beer brewer, the Mourne Mountains Brewery has unveiled their Pumpkin Porter, a special, limited edition autumnal beer to welcome the season in style.
Dark and mysterious, this porter-style beer is brewed with fresh local pumpkin from Alderside Farm in Newry. Master brewer Tom Ray has combined speciality crystal and chocolate malts with selected spices and English Challenger hops, making this a perfect ale to enjoy by the fire this autumn.
Brewery owner Connaire McGreevy said: “With a chill in the air and the darker evenings drawing in, we thought it was high time we crafted an autumnal ale that would match the flavour profile of the season.
“The result is an expertly brewed ale at 5% ABV that we’ve named Pumpkin Porter. It’s a warming, distinctive beer with a rich aroma of spice and cinnamon that will hopefully tickle the taste buds of all those discerning craft ale drinkers out there.
“It’s a one off, limited run brew that will be available while stocks last in bars and restaurants across Northern Ireland. Miss it, miss out,” he added.
In addition to seasonal specials, Co. Down based Mourne Mountains Brewery produces three core beers: Mourne Gold pale ale, Red Trail red IPA and Big Rock wheat beer. They are available both on draft and in bottles.
“Demand for our core products and two previous special brews has been excellent – to date we’ve brewed over 30,000 pints,” Connaire added. “As you might have guessed though, I’m not one to rest on my laurels and combining my passion with Tom’s, not to mention his expertise, we’ll continue raising the bar to come up with new and delicious offerings.”
