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 tap at Crown Liquor Saloon, Belfast. Clear amber with an off-white head. Mild fruity and fairly malty aroma with bitter herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with malty and moderate hoppy flavours. Medium bitter finish. Easy to drink and fairly enjoyable.

Many thanks to beerhunter111 for sharing! Fresh smooth floral beer. Lots of floral hops, pine, resin with lots of malty Ale character in the body. Round and refreshing, not too sweetish, sessionable with a crisp and piney aftertaste. Very nice.
