A new season calls for a new tipple.

And if you’re in the market for something new to sip this weekend, head for Elbow Lane or Market Lane.

Two of Cork City’s smallest and most innovative drinks producers have joined forces to create a limited-edition beer to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the iconic Elbow Lane Smokehouse and Brewery.

Called ‘Skiddy’s Sour’, the new beer is the result of a collaboration between the brewery and Rebel Distillery where Elbow Lane’s award-winning beer has been aged in the distillery’s oak barrels for three months. These have previously been used to mature the distillery’s popular Maharani gin.

“The result is a slightly puckish brew, with soft and sour notes, and it packs a fair punch at 6% abv,” they told us.

“These barrels will now be used to create a new expression of gin at Rebel Distillery.”

Beer lovers can check out ‘Skiddy Sour’ at Market Lane restaurants including Elbow Lane and Market Lane, while it lasts.

The beer will also form part of the Elbow Lane Tutored Tastings which run every Saturday at the brewery in Oliver Plunkett Street from 12 noon. Tickets are €55 and include a selection of pinchos and a limited-edition Elbow Lane illustrated t-shirt.
