About

Chieftain is a sessionable IPA from Franciscan Well Brewery, brewed in Cork on the historic site of a 13th-century Franciscan monastery. The brewery blends centuries-old brewing traditions with modern craft innovation. At 5.5% ABV, Chieftain presents a soft, lightly creamy body underpinned by a solid malt backbone offering biscuit and toffee character. American hops bring citrus and grapefruit notes, while British hop varieties add woody and earthy dimensions. The result is a well-balanced, approachable IPA that bridges traditional and contemporary brewing styles.
