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. Thick and black with a moderate off white head. Chocolate and caramel aroma, flavour is similar with boozy notes, presumably from the barrel aging, which bring surprising complexity for a relatively low ABV. Thick, sticky mouth feel, all in all rather excellent

Hazy golden beer, good white head.Tart grapefruit in the aroma but something a little biscuity too. Flavour has tart, fresh grapefruit, that nice maltiness again to even it out, a bit of sharp lemon too. Simple but refreshing and very drinkable.

Lattina. Un territorio olfattivo dominato dal luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta opalescente. Il colore è giallo torbido. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La continuità gustativa è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce indizi di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, mandarino, mango e frutta tropicale.

On tap at Arcade Beers, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of passionfruit, lacto and gentle sweetness. Flavour is moderately tart, with juicy passionfruit over a lacto base, with minimal residual sweetness. For a kettle sour, it's not bad; the passionfruit comes through nicely, without being muffled or artificial or too sweet. Decent.

Keg draught at Chesham Arms, Hackney. Very light gold and hazy with a head shaped like North America. Sort of. Big aroma of pineapple, white grapefruit flesh and lemon. Bittersweet taste, sweet sugary fruit to the fore with a good malt presence. Lots more grapefruit and slight bitterness on the finish. Carbonation on the low side. It is light all round for the ABV but there's enough flavour that I don't feel cheated. OK, there is a strange off-note right at the beginning of the sip but it fades. So I'm surprised by the lowish rates.
