Description
Trouble Brewing was founded in 2010 by three friends: Paul, Tom and Stephen. They gathered up all the money they could (about €45k between them) and borrowed the same from the bank with the help of a well prepared business plan. Then they set about putting together a functioning brewery.

Our sales grew steadily, the brewery got bigger and around 2014 it became clear that if we were going to take the brewery to the next level, we needed a bigger space and the assistance of an experienced brewer (In the meantime Tom left the project). Not long after we found a new premise in Kill, approx ten times the size of our original space. Mark Nixon joined us after a couple of years working and training in Redchurch Brewery in London.

In 2019, after ten years of hard work together setting up and building the brewery, Paul and Stephen decided it was time for a change. Paul moved on and a new era began in Trouble Brewing.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear deepish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Hop spice bites from the first sip. Light but smooth pale malts, sweet enough. Crisp pine. Hop spice carries on from the start and gets spicier. Smooth and somewhat ripe citrus, a touch of peel. Light finish leaves a long hop spicy linger. A notably aggressive West Coast dipa. The spice actually elevates this out of what could have been a fairly ho hum affair.

Can at home, from Craft Central.ie, 25/02/2025.
Hazed orange amber topped with a lasting just off white head.
Nose is sweet malts, old skool vibes, bitter orange, grapefruit, mango pulp, perfume.
Taste comprises mixed tropicana, pineapple, grapefruit, caramel, orange peel, soft malts, pine resin.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close splashed with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness allied to a balanced rising boost.
Decent enough Old Skool DIPA ... still a place for them in todays game.

Almost black. Aroma is dark chocolate cocoa some pudding, light caramel. Taste is medium umami with quite sweet chocolatey body and light bitter counterpoint. Overall pretty balanced and not very heavy. Quite drinkable but with light aggressive carbonation.
