Description
Hilden Brewing Company was established by Ann and Seamus Scullion in 1981 in the courtyard of Hilden House the former home of the Barbour linen barons. Here the Scullions reintroduced into Ireland the tradition of a local brewery making beers of distinctive character and taste. Hilden is now the oldest independent brewery on the island of Ireland. The brewery is now managed by Seamus and Ann’s son Owen who is a qualified and full time brewer.

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@Rugby Beer Festival, 2007. Syrupy looking golden beer with a grassy and fruity dry aroma, and a green grass and lightly dry flavour. Overall an average watery pale beer.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy amber beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet with light fruity diacethyl notes, and flavors of diacethyl, caramel, and malt. The body is thin. Get rid of the diacethyl and it could be decent.

Cask at GBBF 06. Perhaps I just don’t get the Hilden beers, but I don’t like them much. This is slightly hazy amber with thick beige head. Yeasty aroma. Odd. Flat in mouth. I really am not keen on them. Yeasty aroma and then very little flavour in the mouth
