Franciscan Well’s Docklands Series launch fourth brew in Dublin

Franciscan Well joins forces with Staropramen Smíchov Brewery from Prague to introduce the fourth Docklands Series brew  

Franciscan Well is set to launch the fourth brew in its Docklands Series at The Jar on Wexford St, Dublin on 3 October. The event will celebrate a bohemian pilsner created in collaboration with brewers from Staropramen Smíchov in Prague, offering a fresh take on the classic pilsner with an Irish twist.

As part of the launch, The Jar will host a series of events over the following two weeks to introduce and expand the brand, including Pizza and Pints, Paint and Pints events and Meet the Brewer nights.

This collaboration between Ireland and the Czech Republic has resulted in a brilliantly bright, golden pilsner with a tight white head. The Staropramen x FW Pilsner (ABV – 5.0%)  also celebrates the cultural exchange between Cork and Prague through its aroma and flavour.

Brewed with traditional methods like the double decoction mash – commonly used by Staropramen Smíchov brewery. The unique process involves a longer, more vigorous boil which enhances malt flavours and deepens the beer’s character and colour.

What to expect

The event will feature DJ’s, merchandise giveaways and of course a chance to sample and enjoy the new Bohemian pilsner.

Guests can also look forward to chats with our brewing team at ‘Meet the Brewer’ on Thursday, 10 October.

With its strong ties to Cork and a reputation for quality brewing, Franciscan Well is inviting Dubliners to savour the craft, culture and vibrant spirit of both Cork and Prague in every sip of this unique collaboration.

Goretti Bracken, Franciscan Well’s brand in channel manager says: “The Docklands Series is our tribute to Cork’s vibrant spirit and brewing culture. We’re proud to launch our fourth instalment, a collaboration with Staropramen Smíchov brewery, which offers a unique and flavourful experience.

“We’re thrilled to bring this collaborative spirit to Ireland, launching our Bohemian pilsner with an event that truly celebrates both Cork and Prague – featuring exciting DJ’s, merchandise, and a delicious selection of Franciscan Well beers.”

The launch of the fourth brew in the Docklands Series will take place Thursday, 3 October , from 7pm at the Jar, 31 Wexford St, Portobello, Dublin 2, D02 K232. The event is free to enter, and no ticket is required to attend.
