Irish Craft Beer

 

Ireland is known for good beer. Especially for good dark beer, because the Emerald Isle is firmly associated with the beer style Stout. But Ireland has much more to offer! The beer landscape is being shaken up by a vibrant craft beer culture, which complements and expands the traditional range of typical Irish beer styles!

Typical Irish Beer Styles

Ireland is commonly known for the beer styles Red Ale and Stout. Stout in particular is inextricably linked with the Irish brewery Guinness. However, lighter Pale Als, Bitters, and light Porter and Stouts are also common.

Beer in Ireland. A brief history

Beer has been known in Ireland since the earliest days of Irish agriculture in the Bronze Age. Beer at that time was brewed with single herbs or a mixture of herbs (Gruit). This method of brewing was then introduced and continued in monasteries. At the same time, however, beer was also brewed on farms in the countryside and in smaller breweries in the cities.

Many beer styles were imported and adapted from neighboring England. In addition, beer was brewed without hops until the 18th century, as the plant was not native to the island. In some cases, beer was still brewed in the traditional way even after that time. Hops, if they were available in Europe, were imported via England or Belgium.

Everything changed in the 18th century. For in 1759, Arthur Guinness opened the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin. The iconic Guinness brewery was thus born. After initially brewing pale ales there, the brewery quickly switched to porter and stout. The beer styles for which Guinness is world famous today.

By the beginning of the 19th century, there were over 200 breweries in Ireland. But as in so many other European countries, various circumstances led to a crass decimation of this number. By 1960, there were only 8 breweries left in Ireland.

Pubs, Breweries, Bars. Craft Beer in Ireland Today

Fortunately, this trend has not continued. And with the start of the craft beer boom, and with many international influences on the Irish beer world, the number of Irish breweries is now on the rise again.

The pub culture, also influenced from the UK, provides a great breeding ground for new beers and young breweries. Beer is still an insanely popular drink in Ireland. Since the 2000s, a well-connected Irish craft beer scene has developed, producing some breweries that have been successful throughout Europe. Among others Whiplash, Galway Bay Brewing, Land & Labour, Third Barrel Brewing or O'Haras.
