Description
The Oslo was the start of Galway Bay Brewery and remains our flagship pub based in Salthill; our owners Jason O’Connell and Niall Walsh added a brewery on site in 2009, making The Oslo one of the country’s first brew pubs. Since then Galway Bay Brewery has expanded operations to 11 bars based in Galway and Dublin and have grown and re-positioned the Brewery just outside of Galway in Oranmore. We now produce four core beers along with a plethora of rotational beers that are released throughout the year.

With the installation of our new brew house we are turning our focus towards exporting and making our beers available in the UK and Europe

Come on Palace! 🔴🔵🦅⚽️ Let’s see if that disallowed goal rule applies to top 6 teams as well! ☹️ Getting some melon and grapefruit, lemon and some white grape, grassy and floral hops, semi sweet malty backing, bitter hoppy finish. Decent.
