Description
Cork’s Franciscan Well Brewery and Brew Pub is one of Ireland’s longest established and best respected craft breweries. The “Well” has gained national fame for its popular beers along with international recognition for its numerous craft beer awards from across Europe along with their successful collaboration with Jameson Whiskey.

Founded by Shane Long in 1998, it is now Ireland’s No.1 Craft Brewery*. The brewery was founded on the North Mall in Cork City and is built on the site of an old Franciscan monastery and well dating back to the year 1219. In 2017, we opened a new Brewery Facility on the other side of the River Lee. This was to meet the growing demand of Franciscan Well products, while allowing the brewers to maintain the creative micro-brewery to create new ideas and products – continuing to allow the patrons of the Brew Pub to give them their initial feedback and input to the creative process.

Аромат отличный, разные хмели, преимущественно европейские, немного цитрусовых и хвои, много грейпфрута. Цвет классический, пенка средняя, но мыльная и держится хорошо. Вкус сбалансированный, очень хорошая выверенная карбонизация. Ощущается солод, немного грейпфрута. После глотка появляются разнообразные хвойные нотки. Прям порадовал меня этот пивас.

Keg at The Dome, Tufnell Park, London whilst at The Crawlers' gig. Pale hazy yellow with a white head. Vague lemon taste; thin, watery and insipid. A reminder of why we seek out proper craft rather than faux craft crap like this (not that there was much choice at this venue!).
