A BARRY Island brew has hit the shelves as part of Lidl’s British Craft Beer Festival.

Lidl’s British Craft Beer Festival, which kicked off on July 21, will feature a range of craft beers on the shelves while stocks last.

This includes Barry Island IPA which is an IPA with Denali hops.

Brewed at Brains brewery in Cardiff the drink is inspired by the American IPA revolution "but firmly rooted on the sun kissed beaches of South Wales."

The taste of Barry Island IPA is described as:

"Big-hitting juice bomb with fruity aroma and delicious spiky bitterness.

"Barry Island IPA is brewed with a trio of US hops to deliver a beer bursting with citrus aromas.

"A smooth malt taste is followed with a vigorous bitter finish and a ‘tidy’ clout of citrus and berry hop flavours."

Barry Island IPA pairs well with a chicken curry.
