About
We are a Cooperative Brewery in Belfast owned and run by our members. Opening our doors in 2014, we are the first brewery in NI to bring together modern US styles with the more traditional Belgian/French style beers.
They’ve been leading the way in their native Northern Ireland, specialising in excessively hoppy Pale Ales, decadent Stouts and barrel-aged Sours and Saisons. Utilising the legendary Simpson’s Malt, a broad variety of American hops and all yeasts great and small Boundary beer is always of the highest quality, full of exciting flavours and packaged in beautiful cans.

New Year's Eve 2025 Beers #1 of 3. Last ones of the year starting with a crisp tasting pine and tropical fruit balanced brew. Pouring a heavy hazy, almost cloudy dirtied yellow, it slips down the palate well, is flavoursome, with a light citrus based

Holmfirth 'Last Of The Summer Wine' Tour & Bar Crawl, Beer#11. Last beer in the town centre, which is the house pale ale of O'Brien's, having earlier visited the house of Wally and Nora Batty in the TV show. A regular ale of the brewer without the temptation to rebadge it for house ale purposes. Hazy tropical fruit and pine session session pale ale, in both aroma and taste. Good body for a sesh strength.
