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.

On cask at Daft Eddie's. This is not a red ale,but rather a pale ale. The other ratings website has it as Pale Ale - American which roughly makes sense.
Appearance - hazy yellow to amber. Foamy white head.
Nose - orange and bready.
Taste - floral, orange and biscuits.
Palate - light bodied with a creamy middle and gentle bitterness.
Overall - decent pale ale!
