While in Killarney over the weekend we took a detour via Waterville on our way home and paid a visit to McGills brewery. Our tour guide and resident master brewer, John Duggan took us through their process, the stories behind how their beers came about and all that was involved in making their wonderful craft beers. Most importantly we got to taste 4 or 5 of their creations, the Skellig monk was a real beauty, the barrel aged An Coireàn, aged in sherry casks for 9 months was another favorite and at over 12% alc it packed a fair punch.
Thanks John for a really enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend it as a stop off if in the area. Looking forward to shortly relaxing with a few of the samples we came away with.
