Description
Bríd’s Cross Brewing was first dreamt up in the winter of 2021-22. After a year of planning and preparation, our first commercial beer was released in September 2023.

We brew a range of traditional cask ales, as well as modern beer styles in keg and can. Our beers are inspired by, and named after, folk tales and mythology associated with the British Isles.

Christmas Eve Beers #8. Hazy dark reddish brown with a creamy head. Smoothish crisp porter, mostly regular in design, but pretty solid brewing in this respect. Mild roasted notes available in both aroma and taste.

Dark brown with a frothy off-white head and a mellow chocolate malt and dark fruit aroma. Fresh and fruity, some roasted malt, chocolate notes, a hint of coffee and a dry finish.

Can. Nose is earthy, dark malt, toast, hint of coffee and roast. Taste is toast, hint of smoke, umami, almost salty burnt toast, and an ash finish. Slightly thin body.

I really love the nose. Simple but incredibly evocative

My kind of beer. Good malty body, packed full of piney, citrus hops, with a great bitterness in the finish.
