About
After years of talking about it as a family, the decision is taken in 2015/16 to make brewing the new family business. The family travel to various brewery manufactures and finally place an order for the system that is now in place in Kilcoole.Equipment starts arriving and the brewery is built and commissioned. Late 2017, test beers are put out at the Irish craft beer festival at the RDS. In 2018 Larkin’s formally launches into the market at the Alltech beer festival in March. Larkin’s is now distributed in pubs across Ireland as well as exporting to other markets in the EU.

440ml can, Lot: 19086, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. A covering beige head over a next-to-clear dark reddish-brown body. Scattered lacing. Promising aromas of dried fruits and almond. Caramel-dried fruity flavours, impacts of sweet dark plums and prunes. Sweet caramel fruity ending alongside warmth from the alcohol. Well bodied sipper, just a tad too sweet. (Tromsø 15.08.2020).

13 June 2020. At De Kelk, Bruges. Shared with the lovely Anke! Hazy ochre with a lasting, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of ripe mango, pineapple, apricot, peach, cake, honey. Taste has sweet ripe peach, apricot & pineapple, slightly bitter stonefruit & grapefruit peel, dank effect in the back, cake-like maltiness. Dryish, floral hoppy finish, rather sweet fruity & honey-like, low hop burn. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Bit too sweet, syrupy, nice for a change.
