Mescan Brewery

Mescan Brewery Situated in the shadow of Croagh Patrick in County Mayo, the brewery is named after St Patrick's personal brewer. Come visit - book our tours online.

We brew very traditionally, creating Belgian-style beers to sip and savour, especially with good food. Well it all began as a rebellion against our day jobs as veterinarians..we were feeling depressed about all the on-call in our job and the lack of time to pursue our other interests. We talked about what else we would like to do with our lives and pretty soon the conversation got around to BEER.

We love beer, especially Belgian beer. Bart is Belgian and over the years Cillian has come to love the Belgian styles of beer. We decided that within 5 years we would be running a successful microbrewery specialising in Belgian style beers. The Beginning...

We can hardly believe it - this came completely out of the blue!
Mescan is in the finals for Best Brewery Visitor Experience at the Irish Bar & Cocktail Awards — and we didn’t even enter ourselves. So, huge thank you to whoever nominated us - we’re chuffed that you liked our tour enough to do that. We’re incredibly grateful and absolutely delighted to be shortlisted in this brand-new category. We’re a small, tight-knit team and this means a great deal to us.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — whether you’ve enjoyed a pint or bottle of Mescan, stocked Mescan in your bar, restaurant, off licence or café, or literally ‘worn the t-shirt’. We truly appreciate each and every one of you.

The final takes place on 16th June at what promises to be a glitzy event, so keep everything crossed for us! We’ll do our very best to bring that trophy home to Mayo 🏆 🍻
