Our Beer
A New Bold Standard
Each day at our brewery presents a multitude of choices, ranging from the simple to the demanding. At Killarney Brewing & Distilling Co, we admire those who choose the less conventional path. Just like the generations before us, they embrace a life of bravery, not because it is convenient, but because it is a test of their mettle.
Our beers are infused with this daring mindset. Brewed with the pure, Kerry water that flows from the majestic Mangerton Mountain, unwavering quality and taste are of the utmost importance to us. Our beers represent a bold choice for a new era.
Our commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in the meticulous work of our brewers at every stage of the brewing process. Our uniqueness is our in-house collaboration between our Head Brewer and Master Distiller. Working together they push the boundaries. Our award-winning beers are the perfect start to any great story.
