About this product
Clarity, bitterness, and classic hop expression.
Crossroads is Kinnegar Brewing’s West Coast IPA — a beer that looks back to the roots of the style while remaining polished and precise. Clear, hop-forward, and firmly bitter, it offers a contrast to softer, hazier interpretations, favouring structure, dryness, and definition.
Bright citrus and resinous hop notes take the lead, supported by a clean malt backbone that allows the hops to shine without overwhelming the palate. The bitterness is assertive but controlled, delivering a crisp, lingering finish that defines the style. There’s no haze and no sweetness to distract — just clarity and purpose in every sip.
Bottled in a 50cl format, Crossroads is ideal for those moments when you want a beer with backbone and direction. For IPA drinkers in Ireland who appreciate classic structure and a clean finish, this is a confident, well-executed example of a modern West Coast IPA brewed with restraint.
Why we love it:
Crossroads embraces the idea that bitterness is not a flaw, but a feature. It delivers hop intensity without muddle, keeping the profile sharp and refreshing. This is an IPA for drinkers who value balance, clarity, and a finish that lingers just long enough.
