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.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 16/06/22. Hazed golden to light amber with a decent light egg shell white crown. Nose is raw citric flesh, grass, melon, orange peel, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises bitter orange, straw, grains, tangy fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly astringent hop bitterness. Not terrible but rather a basic model coming over a touch on the raw side.
