What could possibly be better than our award winning Red Irish Ale!?

How about RUM and Padraigs Red Ale!? 

Last year our Rum Cask Red Ale was a huge hit at the Pride @beerdabbler so we did it again! 

We have made another Mount Gay rum oak barrel version of our Irish Red Ale, which we call Bonny's Bounty after Anne Bonny, the famous Irish pirate who with her lover Mary Read were real 'Pirates of the Caribbean' back in the 18th Century.

We'll be sampling Bonny's Bounty this Friday at the Pride Dabbler and will have a very limited supply left over in the Taproom. Stop in SOON if you want to try it.

We really want you to try our classic English Pub Ale!

It's a well balanced and ever so-slightly malt-forward English pale ale with moderate hop bitterness that doesn't overpower its delightful biscuit and caramel flavors.

We're pricing our 'proper Padraigs pints' (20 oz) of Pub Ale at only $5 this weekend - Friday, June 26th - Sunday June 28 - so you can come in and taste what you have been missing. 

Yes, we'll have the World Cup on.
