About
Founded in 2016 by James Ward, Lough Gill Brewing Company aims to restore the lost tradition of brewing to Sligo town, a small town that once hosted 5 breweries. The idea stemmed from an ever-growing passion for brewing delicious beer and a unique opportunity of various skill sets and business synergy.

Juicy and tart fruity cereals. Yummy I like sour IPAs. Smells a bit funky but taste is juicy and hoppy.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Hazy yellow colour, not much head. Pineapple bomb in aroma. Not much else. Really. Flavour is tart pineapple with some slight lactose. Mild acidity. Tartish pineapple at first in the aftertaste, sweet pineapple in the real finish and aftertaste. Oh dear.
