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.

Lattina. Un territorio olfattivo dominato da pane nero e caffè. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è nero come la pece. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buona armonia con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in maniera duratura. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, pane tostato e agrumi.

330ml can via Beer52, brewed with the help of a Pub ( The Errigle Inn) apparently. Anyway I drank it at home on 14th January 2025, pouring it into one of those new IPA tasting glasses. It looked hazy gold and bored, fast fading white crown on top. It's actually quite nice, fruity without that heavy citrus bite, fresh without being 'green'. Aroma is orange like though, so there are citrus fruit esters at play and they do seep into the flavour giving a grapefruit and orange taste later as the beer warms a little. It's fine and when Beer52 do this sort of 'thing' I'm happy, not so with their own brand beers!
