New beer is history in the making

Guinness brewers have announced the release of Hop House 13 Lager, the latest beer from The Brewers Project at St James’s Gate.

Named after an early 1900s hop store building at St James’s Gate where hops are still stored, Hop House 13 continues the 256 years of heritage and brewing at the site. Guinness brewer, Peter Simpson who led the development of Hop House 13 said:

“After some months of exploring different recipes and collaborating with other brewers at St James’s Gate, we created Hop House 13.

The Brewers Project is about a group of enterprising brewers who are on a quest to explore new recipes, reinterpret old ones and collaborate freely to bring exciting beers to life.

“There is huge curiosity, interest and demand for new beers among Irish drinkers nowadays and our brewers at the Pilot Brewery are excited to be playing their part in this beer renaissance,

? said Head of Innovation for Guinness, Nick Curtis-Davis.

“We have a lot more beer to make. We are only 256 years into a 9,000 year lease at St James’s Gate Brewery and Irish drinkers can look forward to the introduction of more new and interesting beers from The Brewers Project at St James’s Gate in the future.
