Our roots are deeply embedded in the hilly fields and farms of northeast Donegal. This is the perfect environment for the way we make beer. We don’t filter or pasteurise, and we let our industrious little friends, the yeast, carbonate the beer naturally during fermentation.
With the opening of K2, our new state-of-the-art facility in nearby Letterkenny in March 2017, the clinking of bottles coming off our line no longer mingles with the bleating of sheep from the surrounding fields. The farmhouse ethos at the core of what we do however remains the same.

Bottle shared by John Nolan @Johnny’s Off License (thank you Johnny!). Pours amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma is delicate malty, cereals, light caramel, citrus, resin. Flavour is perfectly balanced, medium malty and sweet with a nice bitter end. Medium body, medium to light carbonation. So balanced, with a classic anglosaxon touch.
