About
Metalman Brewing was born in 2011 when two beer enthusiasts decided they’d had enough of the outlandishly limited selection of beer available in Ireland, and decided to do something about it.

They started by contract brewing at a small brewery in Tipperary while building a brewery in Waterford city with a 6.5HL brewhouse. Draught Metalman started popping up in all sorts of places, and various brewery upgrades followed. At the end of 2014, they installed the first canning line at an Irish microbrewery, and cans of Metalman Pale Ale hit the shelves in January 2015. A brewhouse upgrade to 24HL followed later that year, as did various seasonal and limited edition releases.

Making beer is bloody hard work, but dammit it’s a lot of fun!

on draft @ B&C. Dark ale pour, some light allowed through, medium off white head that stays throughout the beer, not a lot of lacing. Aroma is mild chocolate, lemons, toast. Flavor is odd with the tea added in, I’m not sure what I was expecting but as the beer warmed up, the tea made it cloying to the point where the end of the beer became a bit of a chore. Interesting idea, but overall I’m not sure if it works.

on draft at B&C. Cloudy bright gold in color, large white head that dissipated fairly quick and left nice lacing on the glass. Big floral hop notes in the aroma with some cereal, bready malts. Flavor is bitter and bright floral and fruity hops, some cheerio cereal flavor in the back end. Lovely full finish.
