Dew Drop Inn & Brewhouse

Brewpub in Kill, County Kildare, Ireland 🇮🇪

Established in 2018

Description
The Dew Drop Inn was taken over in 2007 by brother’s in-law Ronan Kinsella and Paul Lenehan. Whatever way to describe it, cuckoo brewing, gypsy brewing or contract brewing, we have been doing it for 3 years now, resulting in 3 core products we are very happy with. Its time now shortly to stand on our own two feet. Our aim will be to keep our core going seasonal batches and one off beers added throughout the year. A brew school for all the budding brewers will be on the cards too. In September 2019 The Dew Drop Brewhouse brewed it first beers on site at the pub. This exciting addition has created an added dimension to the Dew Drop offering, brewing premium quality local beer to pair alongside their fabulous food.

On draft at the pub. Hazy amber pour with a medium off white head. Big wheat beer aromas of clove and banana aren’t mixing well with the tropical fruit hops. Taste is equally unbalanced flavour-wise. Bitter finish

Draught Good dense & fine white head over clear metallic orange beer. Other grains and malts, and - yes, oranges. Dry grains; again flavour of oranges/orangepeel with quite some (dry) hops behind. Tad of human sweat. Medium bodied at best; low carbonation. Decent beer, but seems to be pulling in several directions at once without arrival.

Draught Good, off-white head over fully hazy yellow beer. Orangepeel, curaçao, spicy, wheat obvious. Citrussy flavour, spicy & yeasty. Wheat, but as in wholemeal bread, unpolished. Say spelt, maybe. Medium bodied at best, spritzy MF. Nice! (and I usually don’t like hopped wheats).
