Inishmacsaint (Fermanagh Beer Co.)
Brewpub in Derrygonnelly, Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
Established 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.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours lightly hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of spicy yeast, banana and pineapple. Faint dough. Taste is banana, tangy, spicy. All about the Belgian yeast. Fruity, if sticky, finish. Carbonation appropriate for the style lifts it though.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Hazy yellow color, average sized white to off-white head that lasts for a short while. Aroma is malts, lightly yeasty and slightly sweet banana-ish. The flavor has the banana and yeastyness too, it’s almost a mix of a Belgian ale and a German Hefe Weizen. A nice surprise, though I dislike the sweetish banana-ish part but it could work out if that sweetness subsides a little.
