Additionally, they had soda, wine, and pizzas. The inside had some of the beer machinery on display. They had some indoor seating, a decent patio, and around (8) beers in tap to try. We got the Full Circle IPA, Devil's Helles Lager, and Casey Brothers Extra Stout. A worker also gave us a free taster of the Spailpin Saison! At a separate time, we had also tried the Golden Spear Blonde Ale. All the beers were good! The flight came with a paper that described the flavors, hops included, and information on the beer. The merchandise section was low on stock so they recommended going to the brewery/distillery for anything you wanted to buy.

In the one street town of Inagh lies a pub that from the outside looks singularly unimpressive…read more Inside it is scarcely any more impressive - until you order a drink that is. For this is the home of the Biddy Early Brewery, Ireland's first pub brewery, and in particular Black Biddy, the first new stout in Ireland in over 200 years. I kid you not, it is also the finest stout I have ever tasted, putting the modern day efforts of Guinness to shame. They also do a red ale, a lager and latterly a real ale too, so ideally you want to be making sure you are not the designated driver for this visit!

I'm so happy I was able to drag them over because the hype did not disappoint. Inside the brewery has a very 'hip' feel; it's a great vibe, you feel like you walk into a happening night club, which is different from the homey pub feel everywhere else in the area. They have lots of brew variety choices, with some guest brews on tap as well. Lots for all! I settled on the IPA and the Stout; they were both some of the best beers I've had in Ireland. The bartender was great about making sure my choices were perfect to my taste- he spent time asking questions about what I typically drink, and had me try a few samples. It was a great experience. I wish we could have brought crowlers home; we certainly took a Man Can to go :) (also such great prices for a high quality brew). While we didn't get the pizza, I do want to note it looked amazing, and was much better priced than the pizza we picked up nearby. I wish we partook.

We had a reservation for a tour and tasting, showed up and they made it happen right on time. The tour takes about 1.15 hours and features a lot of detail on the process of distilling vodka, gin and whiskey...and of course it includes tastings of all three as well! You even get a behind the scenes tour of the process from start to finish. It's all fascinating and cool to learn a lot of the nuances that make each spirit in process. Definitely gave us a new respect for enjoying a good liquor on the rocks! Our tour guide was phenomenal! She was knowledgeable and passionate, friendly and all around fun from start to finish. She definitely made the experience extra fun, while still making it educational! The tour is short in distance, as the space is small for a distillery. But what it lacks in distance, it makes up for in interaction. The location is absolute perfection as well. Whether you arrive early or hang around after, access to downtown Dingle and the bay is literally right outside the gates. Overall, Dingle Distillery has been one of our favorite experiences so far. Can't recommend it enough!

Maybe the best custom Irish souvenir of our trip! And a bargain at 60 Euros Cash. Gayle and I enjoyed watching him work and I appreciated his no-nonsense approach, first by warning me that if a person that had shown up earlier came back, I would move down the line. He didn't and it helped that I knew and told him exactly what I wanted. Having my previous belt handy helped at 2 stages in the process. The belt also has the shop's stamp, my initials, and an Irish knot stamp. Great work and experience! p.s. - I did separately enjoy a wee pint of Dick Macks IPA at another Pub.

I feel I was ripped off but have nobody but myself to blame. I knew this was a new distillery with…read moreno historical or architectural significance so why did I book a tour for €60? Yes it came with a "premium" tasting but that should be €20 max. The tour, lasting about an hour, was in part a commercial for their distillery/brewery. Why should I pay them to listen to an ad? Admittedly the tour included behind the scenes of the facility with its modern brewing and distilling operations, and explanations of how it all works. All of which I've seen before at other distillery tours. Which makes me wonder, what's the draw of these tours? Once is really enough, unless it's a place with historical significance like Middleton, which I didn't get to visit. I do question some of what I heard though. On seeing the tank where the CO2 is added to the beers, I asked whether this practice was universal; is CO2 always artificially added? The response was an unqualified yes, even when I asked what they did before industrial CO2 was available? Answer: "They drank flat beer." I don't think so. The tour included the usual explanations of the process of making beer and spirits, from the ingredients through fermentation, aging, and bottling. Accompanied by open jars of samples: grains, hops, gin additives. All of which had almost no discernible smell because they were too old, probably never refreshed since they started giving tours. Besides beer and whiskey they also make gin, vodka, and rum. "Make" is stretching it for the vodka though. They don't ferment and distill the grain there. They buy 95% ethanol from a major corporate supplier and redistill it. This and several other facts weren't volunteered. I asked many questions with followups to get answers out of the guide. He may have been getting annoyed with me for forcing him to divulge these secrets. Then it came to the tasting portion of the tour. This included beer drinkers (the other couple) and whiskey drinkers (me; it was a very small group that day). That was a good way to do it because I got to hear the beer descriptions even though I wasn't drinking them. As for the whiskey, I tried 6, 3 from their standard line and 3 from their "premium" line. None were particularly good, and none were aged past 5 years, though the distillery has been in operation since 2015. Here's where it all got even stranger. As the guide was explaining the whiskeys, he told me to start with the glass labeled 4, after he confirmed with an associate by phone. So I did, pretending to agree with his tasting notes. Then 5. Then 6. I commented on its smokiness. That got his attention. He was puzzled, investigated, and consulted with his associate again. Turns out it was wrong! The first three to try were 1, 2, and 3! So he refilled 4, 5, and 6, then poured more into 1 for good measure. So I had a lot of whiskey! I protested slightly, not seriously, and he laughed it off saying I'd be fine on my bike (he knew because he saw me riding up in my rental). Understand I'm not complaining or faulting him in any way for this, just adding the detail. I know how much to drink and I didn't even finish it all. As for the tour's ending, I didn't like how that went. As soon as he finished his explanations of the beers and whiskeys, he thanked us for coming. We were all still finishing up. By the time he basically repeated the same thanks again, it was clear it was time to go. Not the nicest way to end the experience.
