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

Draught at Against the Grain. Lemon orange with a flat head. Aroma is sour fruit. Tart fruit, sweet crushed with a lightly sour pithy base. Lively, almost a smoked feel to it.

Keg at CPK - London. Pours oily black-brown with a creamy brown head. Nice mix of bourbon and chocolate in the aroma, some burnt wood, caramel, vanilla, aged dark fruit. Medium sweet flavor with wonderfully layered cocoa character, baking cocoa, strong roast, raisins, raspberry, some burnt toffee, woody dryness. Full bodied, somewhat chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish with more bittersweet cocoa, burnt grass, charred earth and wood, dried dark fruits, raisins. Excellent beer. Definitely a bit drier and roastier than a lot of US impy stouts.

Clear deep copper color with a thick off white head. Good lacing. Lots of dried fruits, resinous, pine and grapefruit hoppy. Powerful beer. A bit to sweet versus bitterness. Also some alcohol coming up. Medium to full body and a soft carbonation.
