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.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Dark ruby color, small mostly vanishing beige head. Aroma of coffee and some nuts. Smooth palate. Some burned malts, coffee and light sweetness in the finish. Pleasant porter. Not earthshaking, but drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 19/03/09. Deep amber in colour, with a decent off-white head. Malty aroma, with some fruit and grassy hops. Flavour was sweetish, with some caramel and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask, The Crown, Belfast. Cloudy somewhat gloomy appearance, think it was brown, but hard to tell under those gas lamps...Some nice fragrant hops in the aroma, with caramel malt and nuts too. Similar themes resonated in the flavour which was surprisingly complex. Dryish, gently bitter finish. Really quite good.
