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.

500ml bottle bought at the National Brewery Center, shared with Finn on a train to Grimsby. Stable off white head, spotty lacing, misty amber body. Inviting aromas of leafy hops and doughy malts. Rounded taste character of leafy hops, biscuit, and mid-sweet malts. Moments of resinous bitterness to the ending. Pretty good. (15.10.2022).

500 ml bottle, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 7%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of grain, dust and Cascade hops. The flavour is better, here the Cascade hops come up front, with the expected citric notes, on a sufficient malt base. Medium bitter finish. Pleasant to drink.
