About
"Lacada" is derived from Liach Fada. It means 'the longstone' and refers to a low, mean, rocky outcrop about 300 yards east of the world famous Giant's Causeway.

Lacada is a community owned Co-Operative brewery based on the world famous North Coast of Ireland. Lacada Brewery has its origins in a love of beer and brewing, a love of place, and a love of people. It began with a father and son brewing together and grew to become a group of co-operative minded, good beer loving aficionados.

5 years ago Lacada Brewery Co-operative started trading. It has been quite a journey thus far… We wouldn't be in the position we are in without all the support, faith, and hard work that our co-owners give to us. Now we are in a position to push Lacada into the future, and we want you to continue on that journey with us.

We believe that we need a locally brewed beer for this area, to augment and strengthen the visitor experience and to show off and bring out the best in our communities here. We have people joining from different ages, genders and beliefs - a wide and diverse community that comes together for great beer and socialising. That is where our Lacada Brewery Co-Operative is coming from and that is where we are going to and what we, with you involved, are going to do – Come Together!

GBBF Day 2. Cask. A light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, sweet enough. Floral hops. Some aged tasting elements to this one. Fairly dry finish. Meh!

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy yellow, like Fanta. Frothy white head. Nose - smells like Fanta too, very orangeade. Also, medicinal herb note, even leaning towards blackcurrant or lemon lozenge. Taste - interesting, herbaceous dominating citrus and blackcurrant fruit. Palate - close to medium bodied, rich and tangy texture. Dry, tangy and lightly bitter finish. Overall - not what I expected but very enjoyable.
