The Biddy Early Brewery is Ireland's first pub brewery. We hope our site will impart a little of our passion for our beers. When we started to brew in 1995, we revived the tradition of craft brewing in Ireland and our small brewery continues to produce fine beers using only natural ingredients. Since we opened our brewery in 1995 we have had many visitors. While obviously content with a pint or two of our beers, we found that they also wanted to know more about the brewery itself. To provide this we have converted part of the pub into a visitor centre. Here visitors can watch an audio-visual presentation on the legend of Biddy Early and the brewing process and how the two are inter-linked. This is followed by a guided tour of the brewery and beer tasting. Finally, visitors have the opportunity to purchase souvenir merchandise.
