Description
Mescan Brewery is named after Mescan the monk who was St. Patrick's friend and personal brewer. It is situated on the slopes of Croagh Patrick and is owned and operated by Bart Adons and Cillian Ó Móráin, two Westport vets who have been friends and colleagues for nearly 20 years. The pair spent four years perfecting their original recipes inspired by the beers of Belgium, Bart's homeland before starting to brew commercially in 2013. The water for Mescan beers comes from deep underneath Croagh Patrick via a spring beside the brewery. Malts, hops and yeast for the beer come from Belgium.

Bottle. A gift from Andrew and Aileen. Cheers. Deep chestnut brown. Nicely sticky dense of white foam. Burnt caramel. Notes of date and prune. Estery and yeasty. Taste is super bitter, with burnt sugar notes. Very leafy bitterness. Very tasty gear, but overall the burnt bitterness overrides.

Bottle. Gift from SMOD regulars A&A. Lively pour. Soft haze on a pale to medium gold. Slim white foam. Heavy on the Dupont yeast. Fruited tea loaf. Touch of lemon hop. Pretty sweet overall with a bit of a flabby mouthfeel. High-ish carbonation. Light bitter finish. Ok stuff.
