O'Neill's Announces Champion of the BeerFollowing the successful All Ireland Beer Festival held at O’Neill’s throughout November, the Irish pub chain has announced the winning guest beer that the majority of customers raised their glasses to. After collecting nearly a third of all votes cast across the November beer festival, Strangford Lough Brewing Company’s ‘Legbiter’ was crowned champion of the beers over five other Irish ales. It will now be served at O’Neill’s alongside current favourites, such as Guinness®, Jameson, Bushmills and Magners. Legbiter is described as a golden ale with an inviting citrus fragrance due to the late addition of Golding hops. The fine hop and light malt aromas carry through to the palate, creating an ale that is full but refreshing. The beers original name is derived from the sword of King Magnus called ‘Legbite’, the 11th century King of Norway who fought battles with the Irish army and controlled segments of land across the Emerald Isle. Sarah Taylor, brand manager at O’Neill’s, commented: “The November festival was a real treat for beer lovers who wanted to sample a true flavour of Ireland’s rich brewing history. It was a tough call for our customers as each of the six guest beers had their own unique appeal, but in the end Legbiter won the crowd over, and we are sure that it will be a popular addition to the line-up of beers at O’Neill’s.”
