HONEY, I SHRUNK THE PILS
Endangered Species No. 61 sees us team up once again with our friends at @openhivehoney for a beer that celebrates and champions local Wicklow honey.
Honey, I Shrunk the Pils is a crisp, clean, and floral pilsner brewed with a twist. Crafted with classic pilsner malt for a smooth, balanced body, this lager is infused with Spring Blossom Honey sourced directly from our very own hives, managed by OpenHive. The honey brings a gentle floral lift and soft sweetness that complements the beer’s delicate malt character. Refreshing and full of character, this is a pilsner that’s easy-drinking but far from ordinary.
We will also be selling a very limited amount of OpenHive x Wicklow Wolf Raw Wicklow Honey from the @wicklowwolftaproom this weekend, with all money from the jars going to support OpenHive`s conservation of our native Irish honeybee.
Honey, I Shrunk the Pils will be releasing into the wild this week.

THE RETURN OF THE DIRE WOLF
Endangered Species No. 59 is something straight out of science fiction – inspired by what can only be described as a real-world Jurassic Park moment. The once-extinct Dire Wolf has been brought back from the brink by genetic engineering lab Colossal, reborn through cutting-edge innovation and boundary-pushing science.
As a nod to the return of this apex predator, we’ve brewed a beer that’s just as big, bold, and fierce. Dire Wolf is a beast of an 8.0% Hazy Double IPA, brewed with an all-Australian hop bill featuring super-fresh Galaxy, Enigma, and Eclipse hops.
It howls with tropical aroma and flavour – delivering waves of passionfruit, juicy peach, ripe pineapple, and zesty citrus, all wrapped in a soft, hazy body. Bold, feral, and unapologetically primal, Dire Wolf is our tribute to something wild reborn.
Keep your eyes open for the return of the Dire Wolf. Releasing very soon..

Elevation – our flagship beer, and one of the first beers that really started it all and helped shape us here at Wicklow Wolf.
An American-style Pale Ale, Elevation is an incredibly drinkable – a beer that we’ve perfected with patience, time, and expertise. Packed with juicy notes of pineapple and grapefruit, it is refreshing, vibrant, and finishes with a savage bite.
It is this expertise, the people behind the beer, our state of the art brewery, and the time and patience that we have put in to Elevation that make it the crowd favourite that it is today.

BEER BREWED BETTER
We recently welcomed some amazing volunteers from @rewild_wicklow up to our Hop Farm in Roundwood to help plant some more native Irish trees as part of our ongoing tree planting. We also installed some more fencing around the trees to help protect them from the local deer population.
It was a brilliant day filled with muddy hands, great conversations, and well-earned non-alcoholic beers and pizza to finish.
Beer brewed better is much more than just the brewing exceptional quality beer, it is about community, sustainability and doing the right things. Better tasting, better for environment and better enjoyed with friends. We’re proud to play our part in protecting the place we call home.
Thanks again to everyone who came out and got involved. Here’s to growing a wilder Wicklow.

FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER – CLIFF WALK IS ON TAP!
The Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk may still be officially closed, but this weekend, Cliff Walk Hazy IPA is pouring at both ends of the trail! Whether you`re kicking off in @theharbourbar, Bray, or finishing strong at @thebeachhousegstones, Greystones, you can sit back and raise a pint to the iconic walk at either end.
Brewed to celebrate the stunning trail alongside the Wicklow coastline, Cliff Walk bursts with juicy citrus and tropical fruit flavours. And while you savour your pint, know that a portion of proceeds supports the amazing volunteers at @friendsofthecliffwalk, who are working tirelessly to restore this cherished trail.
So, grab a pint, raise a glass, and cheers to getting the Cliff Walk back open!
You can also find in on shelf in all good independent off licences.
OFF SCRIPT
Off Script is a break from tradition, a beer that celebrates doing things a little bit differently. We love trying new things and experimenting with different beer styles and this is a beer inspired by how the team at Highland Park Brewery in LA broke tradition and coined the style `West Coast Pils`. Made using a 50/50 blend of their West Coast IPA and their Pilsner for a festival, the brewer’s took a chance, went off script and the result was a resounding success. This latest Endangered Species has gone off script, from style to label design – things have been done a little different.
Crisp, bold, and unapologetically different, Off Script blends two worlds – a hoppy West Coast IPA and a crisp German-inspired Pilsner. A bright, refreshing Pilsner backbone sets the stage, while citrus, stone fruit, and resinous hop character shine through. Citra hops bring bursts of grapefruit and lime zest, while Tango and Audacia add juicy peach, white grape, and a hint of floral spice. A clean bitterness and crisp finish make this savagely drinkable.
Releasing into the wild this week

CLIFF WALK
Inspired by the breathtaking Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk, this Hazy IPA celebrates our local Wicklow landscape. Closed since 2021 due to erosion, the Cliff Walk is being restored by the dedicated volunteers of @friendsofthecliffwalk as they work tirelessly to maintain the trail and find solutions for its reopening. A portion of proceeds from every can supports Friends of the Cliff Walk, helping to restore this cherished path for all.
You support the great work that `Friends of the Cliff Walk` are doing on their GoFundMe page or follow them on Facebook & Instagram.
THE BEER:
Brewed with Yakima Chief’s Citra and their latest innovative new hop, Krush, Cliff Walk bursts with bright citrus and tropical fruit aromas. It delivers juicy notes of ripe peach, passionfruit, and zesty lime. A soft, pillowy mouthfeel and balanced bitterness make this 5.0% Hazy IPA an easy-drinking, refreshing experience.
Sit back, close your eyes, and sip on this Hazy IPA – let it transport you to the Cliff Walk. Feel the sea breeze rolling in off the Irish Sea, hear the DART weaving through the cliffs, and soak in one of those rare, long-awaited sunny Irish days
Cliff Walk Hazy IPA will be hitting all good beer shelves and bars next week.
