The Brewers at Play series presents new beers designed to keep our brewers on their toes and our customers on tenterhooks. THE HATTER, No39 in the BAP series, celebrates the 11-year alliance between Kinnegar and our wonderful Northern Ireland distribution partner, the Salty Buoy Beer Company . Salty Buoy’s doughty crew spent the day with us making this classic West Coast IPA, the beer style that first ignited the passion for beer that has inspired Salty Buoy to become Northern Ireland’s finest independent craft beer distributor.
