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.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 7 Aug 2008) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of dried fruit and coffee. Malty, nutty taste with spicy hints of dried fruit, apricots and a moderate, spicy bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Initial malt sweetness turns drier towards the end. I’m not really a fan of Irish red ales, but this one was quite nice and tasty.
