Hop House 13 is an Irish lager produced by the Guinness Brewery, an Irish brewing company owned by Diageo.[1]
Hop House 13 is brewed by the Guinness Brewers Project, which also manufactures Guinness Dublin Porter, Guinness West Indies Porter and Guinness Golden Ale.[2] The beer is named after a hop store building at St James Gate that existed in the early 20th century.[3] It was influenced by the craft beer industry which had become successful.[2]
Flavour
Hop House 13 is a double-hopped lager brewed with barley, Guinness yeast, Australian Galaxy and Topaz hops, and American Mosaic hops.[1][4]
It is described as having a fruity aroma including tastes of apricot and peach, having a full-flavoured taste that is crisp and hoppy without being bitter. It has a golden amber colour with an ivory white head. Hop House 13 is 4.1% alcohol by volume, though it can be 5% in certain markets. In the United Kingdom, it has just been downgraded to 4.6% ABV from 5% ABV.[1][5]
