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.

I have no idea how to rate this, to be honest. For anybody reading this ahead of buying I must tell you: it REALLY TASTES OF PICKLE JUICE. There's more trad salty-sour gose flavours in there too but there is an unavoidable pickleness to it so if that's not your bag this won't be either. I'm landing on "I'm glad I tried it but I probably don't need to drink it again" I think.

Matig te harken. Het blijft toch een beetje wisselend bij Bullhouse. #noordIerland

Can at Free Beer. Bit hazy pale yellow. Massive dank weedy hops, marihuana, sugary, wheat, lime leaves, sulphur. Medium sweet, light bitter. Medium bodied. Not a west coast IPA but not bad.

Can @ home. I'm all in favour of experiment, but... Slechts wat schuim aan de rand, licht troebel, oranjegeel. Taksi. Dunne carbonatie, smaak blijft lang hangen, met name bij de onderkant en bovenkant van de wangen, zuur uiteraard, tannines, dunnetjes, zout en wrang. Niet mijn kopje. #noordIerland
