HISTORY
Named after Shandon Steeple - a famous Cork landmark - our stout has quickly become famous in its own right. Tall and dark, it’s a handsome alternative to more run of the mill stouts.
FOOD PAIRING
The roasted rich flavours perfectly complement the BBQ dark meats or rich and creamy sauces. Both dark chocolate and coffee deserts will pair with the beer successfully, with the carbonation from the stout cleansing and cutting a rich cake or pudding.
