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.

Keg at GBBF 25. Dark brown. Foamy beige head. Aroma has molasses and malts sweetness before a mocha bitterness sweeps through. Combines coffee bitterness with tangy berries. Herbal bitterness also. Medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. After that, things a little askew. Decent stone fruits and ripe mango but estery petrol thing going on. A fairly dry finish. Not a terrible brew but in the white hot competition of DIPAs these days, way behind the curve.
