Description
Established in 2014, owner Seamus McMahon has set up a lovely brewery in one of the old sheds, located behind the milking parlour. This brewery is set up on a working Dairy Farm. The team have renovated the shed to exacting specifications. The brewery is set amongst the rolling drumlins of County Monaghan. Our aim is to create distinct beers that are brewed with care and affection. We have created a range of well balanced and flavoursome ales that reflect the changing face of the beer market in Ireland.

Deep red with a beige head. Rich, chewy malts layered over dark, ripe fruit, deep roasted malts, vanilla, earth, oak, bourbon. Full, slick body. Finishes long with a rough bitterness softened by the sweet malts. There are sips that feel like a barley wine, some like an imperial stout, and some an American Strong ale- each brings their own profile but this beer is able to bring them together in beautiful concert.
