Description
Bullhouse was initially founded back in 2016 to bring to market styles of beer not commonly available in Northern Ireland. To that end, the first beers we brewed were an Imperial Stout and a Comber Potato Saison.
We work to the following four values which determine the beers we brew, our responsibility to our local community and to the local environment.
- Transparency
- Curiosity
- Community
- Creativity
With environmental sustainability at our core, we pride ourselves on using local suppliers where possible for our raw materials. All our base malts are grown on the island of Ireland. Unfortunately we don't have the climate to grow hops in Belfast, but we contract the freshest hops from around the world to ensure our hoppy beers are as flavourful as possible.
We naturally carbonate our beers using the CO2 produced during fermentation and have eliminated tank to tank transfers, further reducing our environmental impact.

440ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, dense, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Slightly zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, notes of orange, orange peel, some grapefruit, lemon, minimally funky, Kveik-like, yeasty fruity overtones. Taste is moderately bitter, zesty, citrusy fruity and slightly tropical fruity hoppy, notes of lemon, some grapefruit, orange, orange peel remain slightly un-integrated on top, tropical fruity undertones come around more mixed with a wheaty and oaty malty basis, some residual sweetness, and Kveik-like, minimally tart-ish, funky, fruity yeasty aspects; mildly bitter, zesty, minimally waxy finish.
Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
A bit inhomogeneous, fairly hoppy, some nice, "dirty", yeasty aspects, quite some character of its own - not bad.

Keg at Vinny & Ted, Beaconsfield old town, 13/09/2025.
Almost clear golden orange with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is lemon rind, damp cloth, lime zest, straw, hedgerow.
Taste comprises light funk, grass, lemon rind, herb, hay bale.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering rasp.
Tidy enough refresher.
