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 🍾
This month, we’re heading down under for a Wine Not Wednesday that’s all about Australia.
As the brighter nights roll in, this feels like the perfect time to explore a country that knows a thing or two about bold flavours, big personality and very drinkable wine. Expect a line-up that shows off the brilliant variety Australia has to offer, from big reds to refreshing whites, with plenty to discover along the way.
Whether you already love Australian wine or you’re curious to learn a bit more, this will be one of those relaxed, sociable midweek nights that’s easy to enjoy. Great wine, good chat, a few surprises in the glass and Maso guiding the whole thing in his usual entertaining style.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Wine Not Wednesday without charcuterie by The Big Cheese Belfast to keep everybody properly looked after. Please contact us directly if you have any dietary requirements.
What You Can Expect...

- A line-up featuring big reds, crisp refreshing whites and plenty of flavour
- Interesting stories, approachable chat and zero wine snobbery
