Ireland
Lough Gill Brewery is based in Sligo, brewing independently since 2016. Emerald is their Imperial Irish Export Stout, brewed and then aged for two years in Irish whiskey barrels from Boann Distillery in Drogheda. This is a special release for St Patrick’s Day 2026.
Two years of barrel contact transforms the base stout into something considerably more layered. The Boann barrels contribute pronounced sherry-like richness on the nose, which carries through to the palate with the warmth of the alcohol never far behind. At 14.4% ABV it is a serious beer, but deceptively smooth for its strength, with a dry finish that keeps it from feeling heavy or cloying.
Best served slightly above fridge temperature, around 10 to 12°C, in a tulip glass. This is a beer to sip slowly rather than rush.
No minimum order and if you spend €100 or more we'll deliver your order for free anywhere in Ireland.
Orders are normally delivered within 1-2 working days, (Monday-Friday excluding bank holidays) of you placing the order.
Change your mind? No problem. You can cancel your order at any stage or return some or all of it through any of our stores or we can arrange a collection. Simply contact us by email online@obrienswine.ie and we'll look after the rest.
