Our craft beer takes a little bit longer to brew than others. Selecting the finest ingredients and handcrafting the traditional process demands patience. But 35 years? That’s how long we’ve been making our full flavoured beers, improving and perfecting them year after year. It makes us the oldest independent brewery in Ireland and those who drink our beer agree it’s been time well spent.

Bottled at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Very pale yellow, no head. Grainy and very light with vague floral hops. Extremely drinkable, bordering to watery with a hint of paper. low bitterness. A very subtle and restrained ale that gets away with it’s lightness thanks to soft malt and extreme drinkability.
