AS THE CROW FLIES w/ @cloudwaterbrew
A beer brewed with our friends in Cloudwater, this is a beer that celebrates not only the deep ties between Ireland and Manchester, but the close knit brewing community, bound by shared values of creativity, craft, and connection.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming our friends from Manchester – @cloudwaterbrew to the brewery to brew something special. Having the guys over from Cloudwater gave our brewers the excuse to order in some new exciting hops and experiment with some yeast. A beer brewed to celebrate the creativity, craft and passion that unites us.
Any guesses what style of beer we brewed?
BORN TO B WILD
A beer brewed better. It is always great to work with fellow @bcorporation companies and this collaboration was a special one for us. Working directly with the amazing team @crosbyhops, and to use their incredible hops in a beer that showcases our shared values of quality, innovation, sustainability, and community.
Last September, our Head Brewer Andrew visited their hop harvest in Oregon to hand select the hops for this beer. Together, we picked Amarillo® CGX™, Elani™ and Centennial, bringing their bright citrus and stone fruit character to life in a crisp, refreshing XPA.
With every can sold, funds will go directly to @rewild_wicklow, supporting the restoration and protection of Wicklow’s wild spaces.
Beer Brewed Better – with the help our friends at Crosby Hops.
Long ago, the Wicklow Wolf vanished into legend.
But some legends never fade.
We brew with the spirit of our land – and the legend that inspires our name. These are our roots: passion, craft and legacy.

MÓR BIER..
Mór Bier is a beer born from friendship, and a love of tradition, flavour and fermentation. A collaboration between Wicklow Wolf and @gubbeen Farmhouse, this 6.0% Bock is a nod to tradition and taste, the key values behind Gubbeen. This is a beer rooted in connection. Gubbeen, based in Schull, West Cork, is renowned not just for its farmhouse cheeses and cured meats, but also for the craftsmanship of @fingalferguson and his hand-forged knives made in the farm workshop. A long-time friend of Wicklow Wolf, Fingal has shared many a sauna and pints with our co-founder Simon – and it’s from these moments that this collaboration was born.
Taking its name from the classic French cheese, Morbier, known for its iconic ash line in the middle, the name is also a hat tip to the Irish – mór meaning “big” – and, naturally, the call for “more beer.”
Brewed in the style of a classic German Bock, Mór Bier showcases the time-honoured techniques of traditional lager brewing. It pours a rich amber with aromas of dark bread, caramel, and subtle dried fruit. On the palate, it’s smooth and malt-forward, with layers of toffee, biscuit, and a warming finish. Mór Bier is made to be shared around a table, with friends and accompanying great food.
Here’s to taste, tradition and friendship. Here’s to Mór Bier.

BORN TO B WILD
Wicklow Wolf and @crosbyhops, two proudly certified @bcorporation, have joined forces to create a beer that’s more than just a great drink – it’s a celebration of shared
values and a commitment to doing good.
A collaboration that has been in the works for almost a year now. Back in September, our Head Brewer Andrew headed over with our friends @loughranbrewingstores to Crosby Hops Farm in Oregon to select the hops for this beer during their hop harvest.
This collaboration brings together the wild Wicklow spirit and Oregon hop expertise in a refreshing XPA, brewed with Amarillo® CGX™, Elani™ and Centennial hops, offering bright citrus and stone fruit notes with a crisp, clean finish. With every can sold, funds will be raised for @rewild_wicklow, supporting vital efforts to restore and protect the natural beauty of Wicklow’s wild spaces.
