Endangered Species

Next Stop is inspired by the journey of Captain Wolf aboard HM Coastguard, 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. Though deemed unsuitable, the mission continued, and the lighthouse found its home on Tearaght Island. After Foze Rock, the next stop? Newfoundland, Canada.

Like the vast ocean that separates these lands, Next Stop is bold, untamed, and full of character. Brewed with Amarillo, Simcoe, Citra, and Columbus hops, this 5.8% West Coast IPA delivers waves of zesty citrus, resinous pine, and dank aromatics, balanced by a touch of stone fruit and floral spice. A Pilsner and Vienna malt backbone provides a crisp yet subtly sweet foundation, while a firm, lingering bitterness gives way to a dry, refreshing finish – just like the bracing Atlantic air that inspired it.

A beer inspired by Quincey’s time living in San Francisco. Living in Pacific Heights, it was there that he began homebrewing 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 recipe.

Pacific Heights pours amber in colour, it was slowly conditioned at cold temperatures using lager yeast. You can expect a bold yet balanced profile, with earthy, floral notes and a touch of spice and citrus fruits. A strong malt backbone provides subtle nutty and caramel sweetness, while the crisp, dry finish leaves you ready for another sip.
