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.

Can from Hog Back Brewery shop, Tongham. Aroma has juicy stone fruit with pineapple. Hazy orange juice coloured. Thin bubbly foamy white head. Medium sour. Pineapple, citrus, stone fruit. Quite tangy. Underlying sweetness. A sprinkle of spice. Ligh-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth but soon develops good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a nice level of creamy sweetness. The hops (Cashmere, Strata and Sabro) open their show with a good hop spice bite. Crisp pine. Good tropical fruits here, all sorts going on. If you told me this had HBC586, I'd have believed you. Sabro coconut betrays its presence. Soft passion fruit on the back end along with a touch of guava and more hop spice. A delight!

6th Floor bottleshare with the usual suspects. Thanks to Bois. Almost clear dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark chocolate malts, a little dark malt cream. Modest ripe whiskey fruits. Smooth light finish. Nice enough but quite polite for a BA stout.

440ml can at Kongs, Cardiff. Hazy light to mid-gold with a bit fluffy white head. Tangerine, grassy aromas, some notes of pine. Sweet taste, more citrus and grassy elements leading to a gorgeous balance in the finish with just a suggestion if astringency. Hallelujah this is nice.
