Franciscan Well Brewery
Commercial Brewery
in Cork,
Cork,
Ireland 🇮🇪
Owned by
Molson Coors
Established in 1998
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.

[On tap at the Golden Retriever, Bracknell.] A bright copper coloured pour with a tight white head; weak piney aroma; sweet malty taste with a light bitterness. Lacking any real bite.

Keg at The Gate, Northwood. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Malty, citrus, caramel aroma and taste. Probably the best beer available in this very old pub.
