Crafted as part of Wicklow Wolf’s innovative Crossbreed Series, Make Life Richer is the ultimate summer refresher. This Non-Alcoholic Tropical Spritzy Sour, with only 0.5% ABV, is the result of a collaboration between Wicklow Wolf and the Irish activewear brand Gym + Coffee. Together, they’ve created a beer that not only refreshes but also gives back to the community, with proceeds from each sale supporting Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue.
Make Life Richer is brewed with a vibrant mix of apricot, mango, and peach juices, which deliver a burst of natural tropical flavours. The slight souring process gives this beer a tangy, cocktail-like tartness that appeals to non-beer drinkers and craft beer enthusiasts alike. Perfect for enjoying outdoors, this beer is a tribute to summer days spent in nature.

Wicklow, contributing to a true farm-to-glass brewing experience. Their dedication to the environment extends to the brewery itself, which uses solar power and local ingredients wherever possible.
