Our Causeway English IPA has won an Untappd Community GOLD MEDAL and we want to share the joy (and beer) with you so we`re offering pints of Causeway for only $5 all weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
Unlike American IPAs which are `hop-forward` an English IPA is more balanced and "subtle" featuring earthy, floral hop notes, higher malt character with fruity yeast esters and a lower ABV.
We named the beer Causeway IPA after the Giant`s Causeway, the legendary site of 40,000 basalt columns on the coast of County Antrim in Northern Ireland.
Winning a GOLD MEDAL based on the community input is a BIG DEAL for us, come in a taste what the Untappd Community has voted a GREAT BEER!
