Fair for the area and given the operation.
Description
A true standout, both for the fact it is an independent small-batch brewery in Ireland, more so that it is based near the middle of nowhere, more still that it has a pub that on its own would be worth visiting even if it only served macro-brew beer. A family operation and labour of love, the beers are true standouts, by far and a way above the norm available in the country, while the pub itself is the epitome of homeliness, with wood strip ceiling giving it a cosy Gasthof feel, with a large fireplace that when going emits an almost intoxicating incense. One of the true wonders of the beer world. Unfortunately it closes early evening, though it’s unfortunate it ever closes!
