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”.

500mL bottle poured into a tulip glass. Nice copper color and medium frothy white head that lasted throughout, some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine and grassy hops, some bready and biscuity malt in there. Taste is biscuit and grass up front with some spruce and pine, a little too malt forward pale ale for my taste but does have a fairly solid bitterness to it.
