Craft & World Beer

Craft beers are made by craft breweries using traditional ingredients, often in smaller batches than those made by larger breweries. Craft breweries are often independently owned and dedicate themselves to finding new flavours and different brewing techniques to uncover unique tastes. Craft beers are usually made with traditional, high quality ingredients such as malted barley, and often contain innovative ingredients to create the flavours their customers love.

Because they are made with real malts, craft beers tend to have a better texture and more carbonation than commercial beers and are often identifiable by their flavour. The craft breweries we work with tend to brew their beers in small batches, giving them the freedom to experiment with different techniques and flavours, expressing their creativity in their beers. Smaller producers such as these can explore the impact of new ingredients and we see a great commitment to producing new and exciting flavours that craft beer enthusiasts will love.

Craft beer is often carbonated, where real ale is not, and this can change the flavour of your beer and the way it feels in the mouth. It will often have a lighter feel, allowing you to fully appreciate the flavour and the texture of your beer. The best way to find your new favourites is to talk with our experienced staff and tell us what you like so that we can recommend a good choice for you. We have been exploring the very best of craft beer online for many years so we are well placed to help you find something you’ll love.

We work with several local breweries to bring you the best craft beers online, including the local Galway Bay Brewery, Kinnegar and Lough Gill Brewery. Many of their flavours are inspired by Irish heritage and they use traditional brewing techniques that really bring out the best in their top quality ingredients. We also stock international craft beers from craft breweries all over the world, including fruity options, IPAs and rich stouts.

If you want something special for an event or a gift, you’ll love our selection packs that include several innovative craft beers. We offer a Craft Beer Mixed Box, which contains a selection of twelve Irish and international craft beers, including new releases and specials so that you’ll always get something different to try. Our Father’s Day Gift Boxes combine craft beers with delicious treats from local artisan producers and this is the perfect way to show someone special how much he means to you.

You can also explore our range of craft beer geographically, with our Belgian Beer Selection and our German Beer Selection, which bring together the very best imported offerings from craft breweries. Our Mixed Boxes are a great way to fill your fridge, bringing you twelve or twenty-four cans of Irish or International Craft Beer, making the most of your budget and giving your tastebuds a treat.
