Description
Established 1996 on the third generation family farm amidst the spectacular Mourne Mountain range in the north of Ireland, Whitewater Brewery still retains the passion and desire to brew beers with fantastic flavours.
We started with an 800 Litre brew size and currently we’re handcrafting 6500 Litre brews and bottling our 10 different beers on site. On 4th February 2016 we obtained Planning Permission to build a new brewery and after 20 years the next chapter begins. Our new brewery has the capacity to produce around 40,000 litres a month and has scope for further expansion.
We source spring water from the Mourne Mountains which is blended with American, Australian and New Zealand hops to create best-selling beers.
The company produces bottle-conditioned beers and ales and also supplies products in kegs to customers throughout Ireland. We’re expecting wild times ahead along with great beers….pick up a Whitewater and enjoy the journey.

Can 33 cl. Pours an opaque black with a dense, creamy and stable beige head, leaving a neat lacework as it slowly fades. Nose is fairly classical sweet roast with a subtle rustic barrel note. Rich, sweet, roasted malts, low carbonation. The wood impact is rustic and not entirely clean with some exotic, moldy off notes. Extremely boozy and sharp in the finish. A beer that starts off way better than it finishes. 020320

500ml bottle at Paus Craft Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy light amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, big zesty tropical citrus fruits, woody hop. The flavour of a moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, fresh, big juicy citrus, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. I’m surprised to find this so fresh and tasting well here in Malaysia.
