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.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hops and spices - among them ginger. The flavor is sweet with notes of cardboard on a lightly malty back ground, leading to a dry finish where the cardboard note lingers. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

50cl bottle from a Eurospar in Dalkey, Dublin. Reddish chestnut with a thin cream head; rich roast malt aroma with a hint of treacle; smooth with deep earthy, nutty flavours and a light syrupy carmael that’s not too sweet; leading to a dry soothing satisfying finish with bags of malt. An excellent porter.

50cl bottle from a Eurospar in Dalkey, Dublin. Dark amber with a dense cream head; rich malty aroma with orange fruit; full fruity malty body with a burnt caramel dryness, and a short herbal bitter finish. A touch of boiled sweets from the pasteurisation, but otherwise a decent bitter.
