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.

Keg at Pmacs, Dublin, 24/02/22. Lightly hazed orange amber witha good sized white cap. Nose is orange zest, melon, grass, toasted malts. Taste comprises lemon tinged straw, light herb, tangerine, grass, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come leafy hop bitterness. Just OK IPA ... sippable but had a touch of a soapy edge about it.

Bottle: Literally black, small creamy off-white head, mild to moderate sweetish-bitter aroma of roasted malt, traces of nuts and unmalted barley and dried fruits; mild sweetish-bitter flavour, accompanied by a light acidity; pretty light bodied, but pretty soft, too; shorter caramelly and roasty finish with an increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. Decent Stout...
