The origins of Bell’s Brewery date back to 1778, when founder John Bell operated one of the first-known commercial breweries in Belfast and helped kickstart the beer revolution in the city. We’re passionate about reviving what was once the city’s thriving brewery quarter.

On tap at The Deer’s Head. Pours a hazy gold with a slight peach hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has light mango and citrus with a bit of light grain and papaya underlying. Flavor has slightly bitter citrus with grass and light sweet grains in the finish.
