Description
12 Acres Brewing Company is a new craft brewery located in Clonmore, Killeshin, Co. Laois. It has been set up by brothers Patrick, Ian, Barry & Rory McDonald on their family farm.
12 Acres Brewing company at Clonmore, Killeshin is the first commercial brewery to operate in County Laois since the closure of Perrys of Rathdowney in 1966. The idea for a farm-based microbrewery was the brainchild of Paddy McDonald, whose father, grandfather and great grandfather all farmed at Clonmore.
“The 12 Acres field on our farm is where we have been growing malting barley for the brewing industry for generations. Now we are craft brewing our own beer and we’ve named it after one of the fields where the barley is grown”.

Can 440ml (KCM Mikkola)
Dark murky orange colour, small off-white head. Riped tropical fruits in the nose. Light-bodied. Sweet fruity flavour, not much bitterness. I wonder if there is one or two bit more exotic hop. Decent.
