In this edition of Brewstilled, its another barrel aged mystery in where I’ll be talking about the theft of the Irish Crown Jewels. The Irish Crown Jewels go back to 1831 when King William IV presented the jewels for use by the lord lieutenant of Ireland. They seen as a symbol of diplomacy between Ireland and Great Britain. Although they were not affiliated with any monarchy they were seen in high regard and had their own security detail. However, on July 6th, 1907, The Irish Crown Jewels were discovered as missing and they haven’t been seen since. What happened to the Irish Crown Jewels and who stole them? I’ll discuss the mystery here on Brewstilled with a sour ale from Cascade Brewing Barrel House in Portland Oregon as the beer pairing.
