The Story of Guinness® Hop House 13 Lager
Named after an early 1900’s hop store building at St. James’s Gate where hops are still stored, Hop House 13 is a double-hopped lager made with malted barley and aromatic hops and continues the 256 years of heritage and brewing excellence at St. James’s Gate.
The team
The Brewers Project allows our best brewers to experiment with recipes old and new
Guinness brewer, Peter Simpson who led the development of Hop House 13 said, “I personally enjoy more flavoursome beers, so I wanted to make a lager with lots of character and flavour. After some months of exploring different recipes and collaborating with the other brewers, we created Hop House 13.”
“Hop House 13 continues the 256 years of heritage and brewing excellence at St. James’s Gate.”
Hop House 13 is a distinctive golden lager that is brewed with Guinness yeast, malted barley and the best of hops from both Australia and USA – Galaxy, Topaz, (AUS) and Mosaic (USA). It has a sweet fruity aroma, with hints of Apricot and Peach, and subtle malt notes breaking through. Hop House 13 is full flavoured while still being crisp and hoppy with a refreshing clean finish.
