Description
Land & Labour is a side project from Galway Bay Brewery head brewer, Tom Delaney, focused in sour and wild beers. Their aim is to create mixed fermentation beers with Bretts and wild yeasts, without reaching a high acidity. They have created a separated environment for this side project, and imported aged foeders from Italy, France or Switzerland. It was started in 2018, and their first available references where presented in 2020.

Pours clear, pinkred. Scent is funky, lambic like indeed. Barrels shine forth nicely. Taste is sharp, dry, clean acidity, mostly lactic but fairly complex nevertheless. Fruity. very decent!

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear autumnal red color, no head. Aroma and flavor are a bit thin, lightly sourish, lingering dryness in your mouth. Meh. 8-5-5-5-5

Aus der Flasche im 2025-12 getrunken. Diese trübe, hellorange Ale zeigt gleich sein moderat saures Rhabarber-Aroma. Der Körper ist sehr ausgewogen. Ein schöner sauerer Ire!

Superficial sample from Billie’s craft beer fest 2025. Unclear pale golden, small white head. Apple cider aroma. Cider and malt flavor, some kind of unusually spices (sage and Provance spices?) Sweet and sour. Interesting.
