Bridewell Brewery
Brewed in Clifden with the pure soft water that the Atlantic weather brings to the Connemara hills, Bridewell Blond is a blond ale with a distinctive all-malt flavour from Pilsner and wheat malts and a balanced noble hop character, a beer influenced by Belgian blond ales. Drier and with less alcohol than its Belgian cousins. Pairs well with seafood and quite happy to be enjoyed on its own.
Brewed from Connemara water, extra pale Pilsner malt and Tettnang hops. Beer brewed in the Kölsch style, it is a study in subtle flavours. Light-bodied, dry and balanced with subdued malt and pared-back hop aroma. The agreeable nature of Kölsch means that it will get along well with many foods. A summer beer.
A crisp and refreshing, cold-fermented Pilsner style lager. Associated with local stories in selected Clifden pubs.
A dry, light-bodied Irish Red Ale with roasted barley character and a twist of Belgian Dubbel malted barley. Pairs well with roasted meat dishes.
Ale inspired by Dark Lager. Dark chocolate, coffee flavours, light body, citrus and currant hops. Limited edition first brewed in 2018.
Generator is named after Clifden’s hydroelectric station that brought electricity to Clifden in 1925. The station was built by Clifden entrepreneur EJ King assisted by engineers from the Marconi station. The hydroelectric plan brought lighting to the town until the 1950’s. Did you know that Clifden had electricity before Galway did? Bridewell Brewery is located overlooking the remains of the hydroelectric station on the Owenglen river.
Here is the local story behind the Light Keeper Bridewell Pilsner name. Back in the day when Guys was a grocers and general store, Guys supplied the provisions to the Lighthouse Keepers on Slyne Head. And the current proprietor’s late father was a Lighthouse Keeper on Clare Island.
Another local story… You’ll find Bridewell Pilsner on tap in Mullarkey’s Bar at Foyle’s Hotel in Clifden. Mullarkey’s is named after a previous name of the hotel.
