Cork & Barrel co-owners Jay Kudla and Jason Moorhead, mid-westerners turned Texans, and Sam Darlington, born and raised in Belfast, Ireland, spent countless hours together in pubs around the world researching the best craft beers to bring to Cork & Barrel. Below are the stories behind just four of the finest craft brews that the trio discovered. Try one, or sample them all.
-
A true lover of craft wheat IPA's, Jason created the iconic name for this pale wheat IPA. Featuring a dominant blueberry/huckleberry flavor and secondary notes of citrus, oranges, and freshly cut grass, it's the perfect summer sidekick at your table or in our beer garden. So try one - you're a daisy if you do!
-
When Sam isn't busy building things with his hands, he dons an international sea captain hat and sets sail on his 34' Catalina sailboat. This hazy summer IPA is full-bodied and succulent with secondary notes of tropical fruit. One sip of this popular IPA, the highest ABV of the four, and you'll feel like you've set sail on a tropical vacation.
-
An homage to that other place where everybody knows your name and to the loyal patron who became its cornerstone, this Irish Red in the spirit of Smithwick's or Killian's is a smooth, medium-bodied beer with a lingering toasted-malt finish and secondary notes of baked bread and toffee. Cheers! Or as they say in Ireland, "SlΓ‘inte!"
-
Named after Jay's past and present pack of black labs Bear, Nala, and Daphne - this full-bodied and flavorful winter stout with dominant notes of vanilla bean and malt is so refreshing it's perfect year-round and, we believe, is set to become many of our patrons' new best friend.
