New year New Collaboration

Late last year we were approached by the talented people of  Yellow Belly Beer in Wexford to help work on a new 0% ABV craft soda for release January 2018! Having admired what they do for a long time we jumped at the chance to be part of something exciting and so new to the Irish market. Never before has and Irish brewery produced a non alcoholic craft drink. 

After a few weeks of back and forth on the recipe with Yellow Belly's head brewer Declan , we developed a fresh and fruity pear and lemon soda dry-hopped with Citra and Huell Melon hops. And we have to say the result is delicious - the perfect balance of hopped fruitiness and lemon tartness, with just the right amount of fizz!

Packaged in a vibrant 330ml cans designed by Yellow Belly's super talented award winning in-house designer Paul Reck starring the 'Designated Diver', it's hard to miss on shelves. Pick up a few cans in Yellow Belly's usual stockists. And if you can't find it, drop us a line to hello@blackcastledrinks.com and we'll put you in the right direction. 

And please let us know what you think of it! Tweet @_BlackCastle_
