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.

GBBF Cask. Clear amber beer. Soft and semi dry palate. Dry malt with a good level of generic fruits. Well balanced if a bit over dry in the finish.

GBBF Cask. Very dark brown beer, just about clear. Light fresh porter, not too bitter or dry. Lovely light mild chocolate and a little coffee. Finishes smooth and creamy. Very nice indeed.

A pint taken at the 2010 Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court London on 4th August, handpulled into a festival straight sided sleeve pint glass. It was a 3.8%ABV straw blond coloured bitter, have they changed the beer completely and just kept the name? Anyway, the beer was fairly bland and odourless to be honest. I only had it so I could add Northern Ireland to my country list as I try to drink around the world:To be fair, it was a light session beer that didn’t have enough about it against some of the more robust beers I was trying on either side of it.
