86 Clonkeen Road, Randalstown, BT41 3JJ, Northern Ireland
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.

Bitter, piney and great to wait for the train to Dublin
