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.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours pretty dark red/brown, with nice reflections and very fine smooth cream foam. Aroma is fruity and cherry, though kinda weak. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is both sweet (malty and cherry) and bitter (earthy and herbaceous). Final is average.

Very surprised to find this on the in-flight menu with Jet2. Bought a 330ml can and drank it on 5th October 2022, BBD being 6th April 2024. Sat on my studio balcony in Nidri and drinking a new Irish beer, brilliant. Pours black, good deeply tanned head. Chocolate and coffee esters and flavours with a decent oatmeal base.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from KWM Wines, Kilkenny, Co Down. Reddish brown and translucent with a small ring of beige head. Boozy caramel aroma with candied cherry and orange peel. Sweet, sweet and alcohol laden with fruity notes before a light sherry dryness. Light body for the ABV, soft carbonation. Pretty damn good stuff.
