The collaboration series is working with our Irish craft brewery customers to provide marketing support and to showcase quality brewing ingredients.
Who are Lacada Brewery?
Lacada brewery are a co operative Irish Craft brewery located in the world famous North Coast of Ireland in Portrush. Lacada is a community owned brewery founded by our friend Laurie Davis, his vision to create a local brewery came to fruition in 2015. They have had an awesome journey to get to where they are today and have picked up a lot of awards along the way
Laurie and his son Jack started off as eager and experimental Homebrewers and that passion for home brewing has evolved into a professional brewery with many of the co operative contributing to recipe development and creation of some really tasty beers.
What was the focus of the collaboration?
H O P S – Laurie wanted to explore what could be achieved when dry hopping with the new lupulin enhanced hop pellets , LUPOMAX plus the new advanced liquid dry hop Spectrum.
The brewhouse at Lacada is limited to leaf hops in the kettle so we have been working with them at exploring the use of incognito in the whirlpool to achieve that punchy fruit forward hoppy flavour. Part of what we wanted to capture in the video of the brewery was just how hard the team work at Lacada, their brewing system is labour intensive and requires great craft and skill to get the most out of it. The area the brewery is based in isn’t without its challenges as its a tourist location and the water profile changes dramatically depending on the time of year so the brewery team have recently benefitted from the addition of an RO (Reverse Osmosis) system.
Geterbrewed also assisted with upgrading their fermentation tanks recently. We installed two large pharmaceutical grade Brewiks cylindrical Conical Pressurised Fermenters, the installation of these tanks allowed Lacada to package under pressure and change packaging format to predominantly cans. The Irish Craft beer scene is seeing a demand change from bottles to cans in some areas
Lets look at the ingredients we used to create this beautiful Irish Craft Beer …..
What is Incognito?
Its a 100% natural advanced hop product for use in the whirlpool , its flowable and variety specific to achieve the greatest impact of hop flavour and aroma
What is Lupomax?
A lupulin enriched hop pellet
What is Spectrum?
The game changing new liquid dry hop, maximum flavour with zero losses.
