It's hop harvest week, where we pick the hops from our own garden beside the brewery. Not a great yield this year, but good quality and enough to brew our annual fresh hopped beer. The brewery smells wonderful, and the beer will be ready in about a month.
Great group of food science and culinary arts students in from Dunboyne College (@dunboynecollegefe) this morning to look around the brewery and find out how we brew our beers. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #IndependentBeer
Very important quality control this morning - checking our barrel aged brown ales. They're both nearly ready to bottle so should be out in early December. Two different barrel types, so you'll be able to compare and contrast. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #Indep
It's everyone's favourite day in the brewery: bottling day! Fresh batch of Endurance dark mild going into bottles this afternoon and out to stockists from tomorrow. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #IndependentBeer #SupportLocal #DrinkIrish #CraftBeer #IrishCraftBe
