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.
Exceptional quality and all supported by our B Corp certified environmental initiatives and community support make this beer brewed better!

Cin cin to sunshine and Limoncello!
Crafted with real lemon zest and juice, Bittersweet is our tribute to the iconic Italian Limoncello – bright, bold, and refreshingly tart.
With a spritzy body, a crisp citrus aroma, and a perfectly balanced sour snap softened by natural sweetness and milk sugar, this 3.8% kettle-soured summer sipper is pure sunshine in a glass.
Whether you`re lounging in the garden or soaking up rays by the coast, Bittersweet is the ultimate summer refresher – zesty, light, and dangerously moreish.
Limited release. Part of our Endangered Species series. Get it before it goes extinct.

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.

PACIFIC HEIGHTS – Endangered Species No. 55
Inspired by Quincey and Simon’s time living in San Francisco, where Quincey first discovered home brewing, Pacific Heights is a tribute to one of the beers that inspired Wicklow Wolf`s journey – Anchor Steam.
This California Common pours a golden amber hue, slowly conditioned at ale temperatures with lager yeast for a crisp, clean profile. Pacific Heights boasts a rich malt backbone with toasty biscuit notes, caramel sweetness, and a hint of nuttiness. Subtle earthy and floral aromas give way to layers of citrus zest and a touch of spice, all balanced by a crisp, dry finish that leaves you ready for another sip.
Find it on shelves this week. Get it before it goes extinct.

NEXT STOP – Our latest Endangered Species release 🌊
Bold, untamed, and full of character, Next Stop is a 5.8% West Coast IPA that takes your taste buds on a journey. Brewed with Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra, and Columbus hops, it delivers waves of pine, grassy freshness, and juicy stone fruit, with hints of melon and citrus pith. A crisp Pilsner and Vienna malt backbone sets the stage, while a firm bitterness and dry finish leave you ready for the next sip – just like the bracing Atlantic air that inspired it.
Setting sail and arriving on shelves this week.
#IndependentByNature
Introducing Endangered Species no. 55, Pacific Heights.
A beer inspired by San Francisco, a place that planted the seed for Wicklow Wolf, with Quincey and Simon both having spent time there. Living on Pacific Heights, it was there that Quincey began home brewing for the first time and discovered the world of craft beer. If you sit down for a pint with Quincey, it won’t be long before he slips into storytelling mode, sharing tales of his runs around San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and treating himself to a pint of Anchor Steam afterwards. A beer that was – and still is – synonymous with San Francisco is Anchor Steam, a California Common style that inspired this beer.
Releasing into the wild next week, or pop in to the taproom this weekend to get you hands on some.
#IndependentByNature
Introducing Next Stop, the 54th release in our Endangered Species series.
Next Stop is inspired by a journey in 1846, taken by Captain Wolf (no, we are not making this up) aboard HM Coastguard. On navigating the rugged West Coast of Ireland in search of a site for Ireland’s most westerly lighthouse. His voyage led him to Foze Rock, a remote and unforgiving Atlantic outcrop and the most Westerly point of Ireland. After Foze Rock, it is next stop Newfoundland, Canada. Though Foze Rock was later deemed unsuitable because of its exposed and rough nature, the mission continued, and the lighthouse found its home on Tearaght Island, where it still stands today.
Like the vast ocean that separates these lands, Next Stop is bold, untamed, and full of character.
Releasing into the wild next week, or pop in to our Taproom over the weekend to get your hands on one.
