Joe Kearns of Sligo master craft brewers The White Hag, writes:
We’ve had a big year here in The White Hag, from winning Rate Beer best new brewery, to winning all three places for stouts in the Dublin Beer Cup, and several awards for our new sours.
We’ve also had lots of great new bars and bottle shops start stocking our beers, which is the only way we’ll grow as a small brewery.
You guys at broadsheet have been amazing as always, covering any of our launches, events and especially our birthday party. Like lots of other small businesses on here, we wouldn’t get the coverage anywhere else so we appreciate the love from you and your contributors/readers.
To say a small Happy Christmas, we’d like to give you FOUR of our new mixed SIX Packs to give away.
But who would you share your Hag with?
A friend in need? An unsung hero of 2016? Or even a member of your own family.
Just complete this sentence:
