Craft Brewing Company - Irish Ale & Lager
I ventured down to the Lidl in leafy Rathfarnham last week with the express purpose of sourcing some Crafty beer. I didn't get the stout but I did pick up a four pack of the ale (4.1%) and the lager (5%). The beers are made in Kilcock by The Rye River Brewing Company who also make McGargles, whose beers I quite like.
I can't find a link for the beer but this article has a good summary, even if I disagree with some of the conclusions.
Craft Brewing Company Irish Red Ale 33cl 4.1% abv €5 for 4
Didn't really care for this. Found it a bit thin and sharp. The lack of bite may be a function of the abv, or lack thereof.
Craft Brewing Company Irish Lager 33cl 5% abv €5 for 4
Full flavoured, little bit of hops, with a good finish and nice balance. I can taste the 5% and I likes it. A steal at this price.
