Description
Sam and Maudeline Black are a husband and wife team who started their brewing company Blacks Brewery in 2013. This venture/obsession first began many years ago when Maudeline gave Sam a beer making kit for Valentines Day. What started as a hobby quickly developed into an obsession and thus through Sam’s passion and enthusiasm Blacks Brewery became reality. Living the dream since 2013! In 2015 the Distillery was added. We are Ireland's first co-located micro brewery and Distillery.

44 cl can @ home, BBE 05.05.2022 Aroma has hayosh tones and tropical fruits. Flavour has grapefruit, tropical fruits and some cirrus. A bit straightforward and even watery. Decent anyway.
