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.

Bottle shared at Chris & Ruth’s pre GBBF Shindig 07/08/2016. Many thanks to Steve I’ve known. A dark brown / black coloured pour with a dark tan head. Aroma is earthy, coffee, little veg pepper, toasted coconut, creamy roast. Flavour is composed of decent earthy coffee, veg pepper, smooth chocolate malts. Palate is full bodied, creamy, moderate carbonation.

From wooden cask at Woodfest 2007 Castleford - Hazy yellow body, thin white head. Nice fruity nose, lots of stone fruit and tropical fruits. Wood interfered with the taste on this one, a bit musty, but the tropical punch still kicked a wee bit.

Bottle at MC Zurich. Pours black with a medium beige foam. Aroma is damp cellar, old wine plug, oxidized. Body is medium, damp, sweet, a little sour, lively carbonation. Yuk.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Opaque dark brown to black color, small light brown colored head that diminishes quickly. Smell and taste malts, lightly liquorice, milk chocolate, a bit sweet and perhaps a hint of vanilla. Decent body and carbonation.
