Description
A small independent brewery based in Northern Ireland with a belief in simplicity and a knack for brewing pretty good beer.

Like many good ventures, Modest Beer was born in a parent’s garage in Holywood, County Down when Chris Morris, a tax accountant by day, brewed a small experimental batch of Kölsch for a friend’s restaurant. Within two years we moved to a much larger brewery in Randalstown. We never set out to brew the best beer in Northern Ireland, but maybe someday we will.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a billowing white head that gushed from the can on opening; citrus aroma; crisp citrus taste with some chewy malts; and a pithy grapefruit bitterness to close.

3/5/2022. Can shared by SHIG, cheers. Pours hazy golden orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is pithy, earthy, tropical, touch of pepper, yeast and passion fruit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, oily, average carbonation. And 1/11/2025. Can at the ITFC beer share. From Beer Central, Sheffield. Nicely done.
