Blacks Brewery & Distillery

We live the dream since 2013! Born out of passion by husband and wife team Sam & Maudeline Black. What started as a hobby after Sam received a home brew kit as a Valentine's Day gift from Maudeline many years ago, quickly became an obsession and a burning desire to experiment and create. It is this enthusiasm and drive that made Blacks Brewery a reality.

Our mission is to escape the mundane of the mass market by producing beers with passion, personality and lots of hops! We have a seven strong core lineup, but are constantly creating new recipes and whimsical flavor combinations, releasing between 6 and 10 experimental beers per year.

In 2015, we expanded and added our state-of-the-art distillery, where we produce a range of boutique spirits including gin, rum and whiskey. This cross between brewery and distillery is unique in Ireland and gives us the opportunity to age our beers in spirit barrels and vice versa to enhance the depth of flavor. Our first bottle of Blacks Irish Gin hit the shelves in 2015, and in 2018 we made history with the production of Blacks Spiced Rum, Ireland's first rum made entirely in Ireland from start to finish.
