YellowBelly Beer (Ireland)
Microbrewery
in Wexford,
Wexford,
Ireland 🇮🇪
Associated Venue: Simon Lambert & Sons
Established in 2015
YellowBelly poured their first pint in May 2015, but the idea was born long before that. The founders of the brewery Nicky and Simon Lambert attended a brewing course in Manchester in 2009, and from then on the dream of opening a brewery on the site of their family pub began. Their first aim was to turn their pub into a craft beer destination in the heart of Wexford Town. Focusing on Irish Craft Beer & Spirits they quickly built up an exciting range of quality Irish products and went about changing the tastes of locals and enticing tourists into their pub. With a market established they set about work on their own 200 litre nano brewery in the basement of the pub. This work began in 2013, converting old store rooms into a semi-automated brewery, built using reconditioned tanks and a bit of local sweat and knowledge.
The fruits of that labour were a 200 litre Brewhouse capable of producing 20 kegs a week split across 3 products. A pale ale, lager and a special. This weekly special quickly put YellowBelly on the map. Under the stewardship of Head Brewer Declan Nixon over 100 unique beers were produced in our first year, with Simons Lambert & Sons being the only outlet to get your hands on them. Some of these early beers include the likes of Castaway and Citra which have become staples of the brewery throughout its history.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is caramel malt, resinous hops, ripe fruits, sweet orange, marmalade, pine resin, touch of ripe grapefruit, more malt and resin thoughout. Flavour is medium sweet with a bitter and mildly boozy finish. Body is medium to full. Very resinous and caramel malty, could do with a little more fruity hops, big with a little noticeable alcohol. Okay to sip on, but I'd like more balance in my IIPA.

Can 0,33ltr: Slightly hazy amber colored brew with an sweet bitter taste, with hints of caramel. This design-less can have an daring design to try to sell this beer.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, grassy, herbal and mild earthy tones. Flavour is floral, fruity, some herbal, earthy and mild toffeeish tones. Not that Kellerbeery, but still nice.
