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

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a tight white head. Aroma. Hmmm. Floral notes, sweet herbs, citrus, a bit of white pepper. Sweet taste, more citrus, resinous, a bit of persimmon,with a bitter finish. Wow, this is interesting. Not the top tier of IPAs but it's certainly got personality. Recommended.

Very deep brown to black with a tall, firm tan head. Black currant jam up front followed by roasted malts, light earth, chocolate. Medium bodied. Finish is a bit sweet black currant and roasted malts. It has a pronounced black currant profile yet it isn’t overrun by it. A nice balance and a fun twist for a pint.
