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.

Unclear amber color with off white head. Some lacing. Ugh this one had to much yeast left onboard. Destroyed it completely. Also some dried fruits and toffee. Will maybe ne ok when the yeast has left the building. Also a bit to soft carbonation. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Almost hopeless to end. Well I did not at all end this one.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Clear brown with a beige head. Aroma of malt, toast, nutty notes, a bit of caramel, a bit of fruitiness. Sweetish flavor with malt, toast, caramel, some nuts, a chocolate hint and a drier finish, slightly bitterish. Medium-bodied. OK. Not really a Porter.

Dorada clara, limpia. Da dedos de espuma suave. Aroma muy lupulado, floral. Sabor muy especial en una lager. Muy floral, con toque citrico y bastante amarga. Sorprendente. Notable. Quiero lager así.

On tap at Bittles Bar, pours a clear copper with a medium white head. Nose brings out lots of English hops and some light biscuity malt to balance. Flavour is refreshing, with a good balance of floral English hops, light bready toffee and tropical fruitiness. Refreshing and well-balanced. Very solid.
