BEOIR CHORCA DHUIBHNE

Authentic Cultural
Experience

From the outset Beoir Chorca Dhuibhne – West Kerry Brewery has been driven by the desire to bring quality beers uniquely conceived and brewed on site in the heart of An Gealtacht, Chorca Dhuibhne. Our small brew system at 5 BBL – 800 litres, allows small batch production which we believe assists with the dependable characteristics of our beers. Using our own water from a well 150 feet below the brewhouse along with fresh yeast we produce beers synonymous with our geography and place on the planet.

Dingle Peninsula

Our Location

We might be a little biased, but we like to think we live in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, and we’re definitely the most south-westerly brewery in Europe! You’ll find us in An Riasc, a small town land, just 1.5km from Ballyferriter village, and 11km north-west of Dingle town, along the Slea Head Drive one of Ireland’s most scenic routes, and part of the world famous Wild Atlantic Way. An Riasc is probably best known for the monastic site, which is a 10-minute walk from us here in Brics.

Excavated by archaeologists in the 1970s, it contains the remains of a church, some round houses, a possible burial shrine and several cross-inscribed stones. It’s believed the site was occupied as early as the 6th century. Artefacts found in the excavation can be seen in Músaem Chorcha Dhuibhne, in Ballyferriter.

Our Beer Range

Beoir Chorca Dhuibhne/West Kerry Brewery is an ale beer house, which means we brew with a top fermenting ale yeast, a traditional approach to brewing beer. Our Cask Conditioned beers are naturally carbonated, by adding sugar syrup and more fresh yeast, and are dispensed by hand pump here in our pub.

All our beers are inspired and influenced by the landscape and people that surround us here. From our language to our traditions, our water to our plants and herbs, the essence of this place is in every drop of beer we brew.

our tours

Lovely pub all clad in wood, with welcoming fireplace we appreciated so much in a cold rainy day. Very nice staff and delicious craft beer! Also it should be said that this place is not just pet friendly, but rather pet loving! My dogs were both treated like princesses, offered a bowl of fresh water and even a soft dog bed for each to rest on. When we’re in Co. Kerry again, we’ll be back for sure!

Really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful area for a very peaceful break. Got to spend some time getting hands on in the brewery which was brilliant and the accommodation was really nice. The pub and beers are excellent. Well worth a visit.

Imagine a cozy, warm wooden rustic pub with great craft beer. Well, that’s the place for you. A great place to chill out after/before hiking in the area. The beer is great!!

Quirky little place, with cosy interior, cute garden, cool pieces of art & AMAZING beer. Tried 6 different real ales – ALL top notch, including a golden ale with corriander seeds, a very drinkable mild, and an incredible porter aged in whisky barrels. Wow. How i wish this was my local

Beautiful rooms, very tranquil back patio area. Adrienne lovely lady and very helpful. Made our stay extra special and would highly recommend a stay here. Everything within easy reach. Views to die for in the area. A gem in Eire.

A proper local pub that has its own microbrewery. Locals sitting at the bar will most often be speaking Irish and the stained glass panel in the pub is beautiful.

If you find your way out to the peninsula, this is a MUST TRY for beer lovers. Even the more hoppier options (of which I’m not normally a fan) are delicious. Can’t suggest more highly as an amazing hidden gem in West Kerry!
