Draft Beer Selection

	Dead Guy Ale - Rogue - Oregon	Style: German Maibock
	'Deep reddish amber hue. Generous toasty malt aromas and earthy hops follow through on a moderately full-bodied palate with fruity accents and a long spicy hop finish. A delicious hybrid style with bock-like maltiness but ale-like hopping' –World Beer Championship Judges
	Alcohol By Volume: 6.5%
	Gatecrasher - Evanston, IL	Style: IPA
	Gatecrasher gets into the sold-out show without a ticket. It doesn’t have to shout for people to listen. It arrives fashionably late but closes the place down. Our India Pale Ale stands apart from the bitter crowd and entices with bountiful aromatic hops and a touch of malt sweetness, proving there’s more than one way to crash a gate.
	Alcohol By Volume: 6.6%
	Goose Island Next Coast IPA - Chicago	Style: IPA
	Big, bracing, piney hop flavors meet a tropical bouquet of Eureka, Nugget, Citra, Mosaic, and 06277 hops. There’s a balanced bitterness that blends seamlessly into the light to medium body.
	Alcohol By Volume: 7%
	Green Line Pale Ale - Chicago, IL	Style: Pale Ale
	Green Line Pale Ale is a honey-colored, immensely sessionable American pale ale with a pronounced, bright, American hop aroma and citrus flavor. Notes of biscuit and lightly toasted malt create the backbone for Green Line’s pleasant, crisp bitterness.
	Alcohol By Volume: 5.4%
	Guinness - Ireland	Style: Stout
	Guinness is based on the porter style that originated in Dublin in the early 18th century. A distinctive feature is the burnt flavor which is derived from the use of roasted barley.
	Alcohol By Volume: 5.4%
	Half Acre Gone Away - Chicago	Style: IPA
	This beer has classic IPA heft. Many hop forward beers of the modern are defined by omission. GoneAway shines from raw material impact on both sides of the equatorial flavor hemispheres. Big grapefruit, green strawberry, resin, pine, dank, light honey, cracker, tropical mango/guava, assertive bitterness, pine sap, clean, dry finish.
	Alcohol By Volume: 7%
	Harp Lager - Ireland	Style: Lager
	This classic Irish lager has a pleasant buttery sweet aroma. Crisp and dry, Harp finishes remarkably smooth. Harp's distinctive, refreshing taste has earned it six gold medals in the annual Monde Selection beer tasting competition. It is Northern Ireland's number one lager.

	Alcohol By Volume: 4.9%
	Two-Hearted Ale - Bell's - Kalamazoo, MI	Style: Pale Ale
	Bell's Two Hearted Ale is defined by its intense hop aroma and malt balance. Hopped exclusively with the Centennial hop varietal from the Pacific Northwest, massive additions in the kettle and again in the fermenter lend their characteristic grapefruit and pine resin aromas. A significant malt body balances this hop presence; together with the signature fruity aromas of Bell's house yeast, this leads to a remarkably drinkable American-style India Pale Ale.

The Pub Experience "Craic"

In the small villages that dot Ireland, the pub culture plays an important role in social life: it is the social hub of the community. Half of the magic of Ireland lies in the people, for whom great conversation and good humor are at the very heart of a wonderful culture. For instance, in a town with a population of 1,000, there are often as many as 50 pubs. Village folks don’t sit in front of the television after supper, they meet at the local pub and don’t go home until everyone at the table has politely bought a round.

Craic is an atmosphere that will be different from pub to pub, yet will be the main difference between us and all of the other pubs, restaurants, and bars in town. Craic is not something that you can hold in your hand, nor can you see it on the wall yet, when you walk into a pub and it is there, you can definitely feel it. Craic is the little something extra that is done to make our guests have a great time.

The Irish are well known for their appreciation of good drink. Beer and ale are almost as important to the Irish diet as food, and pub life is a critical aspect of the Irish social culture. Stout, a strong dark, malty-tasting beer, is Ireland’s most popular drink; and Guinness, a name that is synonymous with stout, is a national treasure. Here at the Curragh we guarantee that your pint will be the best around. In recognition of our dedication to pouring the perfect pint, the Curragh has been awarded the Guinness Gold Standard Award for perfect pints!

Thank you for visiting the Curragh Irish Pub and Restaurant and we hope you enjoyed the "Craic".
