The White Hag, The Serpent
Green Pale Ale, 4.5% abv

It's the final round of the tournament and we have all to play for. The Irish are up against the Scots and with both sides only just losing their respective matches last weekend, scores are looking to be settled this time around.

Our final choice of Irish brewery for the event is big hitting and very well respected, welcome to The White Hag. Based in Ballymote, Sligo, The White Hag has been established since 2013 and produces some really excellent and exciting beers. Proof of this can be seen in this weeks choice of brew... The Serpent.
The Serpent is a limited edition beer created to celebrate St Patricks Day. It's not just the distinct tastes of gooseberry, lychee and peach that will draw people to this 'Spring Ale' though. Nor is it the awesome can art or clever name which bears homage to St Patrick himself. Instead, the big talking point will most likely be that the beer is completely GREEN in colour.

Hopefully, the same colour of green as the side that lift the Six Nations trophy on Saturday. Come on Ireland!!

🍾 Wine Not Wednesday 🍾

For centuries, rivers have played a vital role in the story of wine. They have carried bottles to market, shaped landscapes, influenced soils and in many cases, helped create some of the most famous wine regions in the world.

This month, Wine Not Wednesday takes you on a journey through those waterways with Rivers of Wine - a tasting designed to explore how geography, tradition and terroir combine to create wines with real character and contrast.

Across the evening, you’ll enjoy eight carefully selected wines, including examples from both banks of the Gironde and both sides of the Minho, giving you the chance to taste the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) differences that a river can create.

As always, this will be a fun, relaxed and welcoming evening hosted by Maso, with plenty of great chat, interesting stories and delicious wines along the way. Whether you already love wine or simply fancy trying something a little different midweek, this is shaping up to be another brilliant night at The King’s Quay.

What You Can Expect...

- Eight wines inspired by some of the world’s most important wine rivers

- A chance to compare both sides of the Gironde and the Minho

- A relaxed and engaging tasting experience hosted by Maso

- Charcuterie by The Big Cheese Belfast

- A midweek event that is informative, social and great fun
