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

Tap. Friends of Ham, Leeds. Fashionably hazy, deep gold. Film of white head. Nose has grainy malts. Orange rind and pith. Some strawberry hop. Notes of pine needle and minty toffee. Taste is pithy and citrus oil bitter. Clean mouthfeel. Fine, sharp carbonation. Dries out somewhat towards the end. Nice and clean.

fles, 0,5L, roze etiket, double ipa, schenkt gouden met witte kraag. aroma van veel frisse hop, citrus, mandarijn, den, sinaasappel, gras, lichte hars. Smaken van grapefruit, redelijk bitter, redelijk kruidig door de hop, grassig, mango, sinaasappel, kruidig, citrus, tropisch fruit. verder ok. maar ben niet zo’n hele fan van deze op, die vrij lang blijft aanhouden en na een tijdje wat onaangenaam begint te worden, door het wat grassige/kruiden/paarden karakter.

Keg @ Brew Dock, Dublin [030417]
Caramel brown, murky, fizzy beige head
Aroma of soft caramel, hint of toffee, little on nose
Taste of caramel, soft toffee, dab of fruity malt, touch of toasted malts, brown bitter sweet malts, not much going on, dull
Palate - Medium carb, too fizzy for the style, thin to medium body, soft sweet, very light bitter, tad of sharp acidity. Finish as main flavour slight brown bread
Overall - Too fizzy. This is a brown bitter, not a porter at all. €5.80/pt for a 4% brown bitter is a joke

Bottled@Post-PBF Lost-Box Hotel Room tasting. Ambery brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is toasted, mild toffee, some earth and raisins with some slight peated notes. Flavour is big time boozy raisin sweetness, alcohol, some toffee and mild toasted notes. Yet quite tasty.
