BULLHOUSE BREW CO.
DC WINES
MODEST BEER
Bullhouse Brew Co. was set up in 2016 to bring styles of beer to the market that weren’t commonly available in Northern Ireland. The first beers they brewed were an Imperial Stout and a Comber Potato Saison. With environmental sustainability at their core, they pride themselves on using local suppliers where possible. They naturally carbonate their beers using the CO2 produced during fermentation and have eliminated tank to tank transfers, further reducing our environmental impact.
If craft beer is your thing, DC Wines on Boucher Road, Belfast has the ultimate selection all under one roof. The local, family-run wine, beer and spirit merchant specialises in the weird and wonderful world of craft beer and wine, so you will be spolit for choice with their vast selection. They include beers from local Northern Irish suppliers, as well as beers from across the globe, including Germany and USA. You will not run out of options to try, with new arrivals being added on a regular basis.
Modest Beer was brought to life in October 2018 when passionate home-brewer Chris brewed a pallets worth of back to back batches on his 60L system to support the launch of a friend’s business in Dorset. The goal is to bring exceptional brews to the local craft beer market, not to revolutionise the craft beer movement, but simply to add to it with a brand that is joyous, responsible and honest. Their small batch beers are crafted in the heart of Holywood, Co. Down.
