One of the things Dublin is known for is beer. Many go to the iconic Guinness storehouse, but those in the know might want to travel out of the center to taste some of Dublin’s many microbreweries.
Here are 5 ideas:
Hope Beer Dublin
Founded in 2015, this operation runs in a business park not far from the beautiful Howth. Not typically a tourist location, it’s worth going to the brewery for a tour, a chat, and a tasting session. If you can’t make it, be sure to look for their ales, lagers, and stouts in one of Dublin’s craft beer pubs. They do seasonal and limited editions as well.
Rascals Brewing Company
Located in the up and coming Inchicore, Rascals were founded in 2014 and specialize in adventurous beer flavors like Milkshake IPAs. Go for a tour and a pint in their headquarters, and get a pizza along whatever off-the-menu experiment they’re currently serving.
Brú Brewery
Found in the relatively central Fairview, Brú House is a pub, a restaurant, and a venue. The beer is actually produced in Trim, County Meath but the Fairview gastropub is an inseparable part of the operation. They pride themselves on working with 100% Irish wheat and barley.
