Description
Established in 2009, Inishmacsaint is a small-scale, farm-based craft brewery in County Fermanagh that produces mainly bottle-conditioned beers. The company was originally formed by farmer Gordon Fallis in 2009.

The success of the first brews led to a decision by Mr Fallis to expand the business and form a new partnership with local businessman Norman Donaldson, who runs the Old Pal's Bar in Derrygonnelly with his father Steve. It's also meant moving the micro-brewery to bigger premises behind the bar.

We take our name from an island that nestles in the beautiful waters of Lough Erne near the village of Derrygonnelly. Our range of craft beers reflect the history and character of our local area - carrying on a tradition established by the ancient monks who began brewing beer here on Inishmacsaint over 900 years ago.

Naturally, all our beers are made from the finest ingredients. And we also include our own locally grown hops and herbs when making our extra special batches each year - so you get a genuine flavour of the Fermanagh countryside. However, our most famous ingredient is the famed waters of Fermanagh’s lakes and streams. Because if it wasn’t for the fine rain that falls on our county, none of our beers would be possible.

Dark blond colour with quick fading soapy head. Aroma and flavour have a nice, peachy fruity note. Low bitterness.

31st October 2022; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, only four of us! I brought along the 500ml bottle of this: BB 9th August 2023. Huge white head on a slightly hazed golden body. Citrusy front, crisp and refreshing, the Mosaic and Simcoe hops showing their aromas and flavours nicely.

31st October 2022; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, only four of us! I brought the 500ml bottle of this along, BB 2nd October 2022, so just out of date. From KWM Wines. Mini-haze to the golden body, white crown. Piney front with a citrus back, that's the aroma and taste.
