Kinnegar "Limeburner" Kölsch Style Ale (Bottle)

Subtle hops. Soft malt. Quiet confidence from Donegal.
Limeburner is Kinnegar Brewing’s take on a Kölsch-style ale — a beer defined by restraint, balance, and clarity rather than excess. Inspired by the classic beers of Cologne but brewed in Donegal, Limeburner bridges German tradition and modern Irish craft with a light, refined touch.

Delicate malt sweetness sits at the heart of the beer, offering gentle notes of biscuit and fresh bread, while subtle hop character adds lift without bitterness. Fermented cool for a clean profile, Limeburner finishes crisp and dry, making it exceptionally refreshing and effortlessly drinkable. The result is a beer that rewards attention but never demands it.

Bottled in a 50cl format, Limeburner is ideal for slow enjoyment — the kind of beer you open when you want something precise, calming, and quietly satisfying. For beer drinkers in Ireland who appreciate finesse over force, this is a standout example of how thoughtful brewing can elevate simplicity.

Why we love it:
Limeburner is a masterclass in subtlety. It doesn’t rely on big hops or bold flavours, instead delivering harmony and balance in every sip. It’s the sort of beer that grows on you, revealing more character the more you drink it — perfect for relaxed evenings, food pairing, and repeat pours.
