Like Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic, Ireland is one of the countries that has a rich beer history and a brewing tradition that goes back thousands of years. Stout comes from Ireland and is drunk in Irish pubs all over the world. The Irish were already brewing beer when they weren't even called Irish yet and the first attempts at brewing on Irish soil date back to the Bronze Age. The brewers at Rye River Brewing come from this beer-loving culture and have beer practically flowing in their veins.
Although the brewery was only founded in 2013, the brewers have already won a number of awards and prizes with their beers, including the "World's Most Decorated Brewery" award for three consecutive years, "Worlds Best Stout" for their Rye River Export Stout and "Worlds Best IPA Imperial/Double" for their Rye River Double IPA at the coveted World Beer Awards. Rye River Brewery currently has more than 150 awards on its shelf and the number is growing all the time. However, the team is not resting on its laurels, but sees the awards as a constant incentive to become even better. The brewers combine progressive ideas with innovative techniques, hand-picked ingredients and craftsmanship. As one of Ireland's largest independent craft breweries, Rye River Brewing Company has a certain responsibility: the brewery wants to lead by example and not only achieve but exceed its own standards and goals. This ambition is reflected in the beers: the brewery's range includes a wide selection of different beers. Creative craft beers are served alongside modern interpretations of classics, seasonal specialties and natural brews. The beers contain the finest ingredients: depending on the beer style and brewing method, the brewers carefully select suitable malts and hops, and even the water is adapted to the individual beers. Nothing is left to chance here in order to present the beer connoisseur with the best possible drink.
The great passion that goes into Rye River Brewing's beers can be felt in every nook and cranny and tasted in every sip. Curious beer fans can take a tour of the brewery to get an idea of the brewing process and watch the brewers at work. There is a lot to discover in the hallowed halls of the Irish brewery and the tour ends with a tasting of the fine beers.
