Flavour By Design
When it comes to enjoying beer, we like full on flavour.
That’s why we hand-craft our beers in small batches using carefully selected hops to make a punchy, tasty brew.
We have just opened our new brewery which will give us better consistency across batches. They don’t call it craft for nothing! Our new brewery has a greater capacity too, which means more delicious beers for everyone! Vive la revolution!
Try our beers at any of our eight bars in Galway and Dublin. You’ll never go back to mass market beer again.
Full Sail
IPA
The simple malt bill gives an ABV of 5.8% which carries the flavour and allows the hops to shine through .Added are multiple additions in the kettle before it reaches you as fresh as it can be! It is great with spicy foods, such as tacos and salty foods such as fried fish.
Stormy Port
Irish Porter
This Rich and complex beer boasts its roasted coffee notes and hides certain sweetness and chocolate flavours in the background. The Stormy Port is most at home with rich stews, roast meat dishes and can find its place alongside dessert dishes.
Bay Ale
Irish Red Ale
This copper-coloured, malt-forwards offering is the go-to beer for pretty much anything you can think of. Try with salads, roast meats, cold meats, simple cheeses and salmon dishes
Buried at Sea
Milk Chocolate Stout
Taste of chocolate and smooth mouthfeel, due to the additions of dark chocolate and milk sugars (Lactose) respectively. While dark and rich this beer finds balance in its lightness and drinkability. Great for matching with sweeter dishes and intense desserts.
Of Foam and Fury
Double IPA
Beoir beer of the year 2014 winner, Of Foam and Fury!
This double IPA is hazy orange, dense bubbly white head, good lacing. Aroma - big tropical fruits, sweet fruity malts, grapefruit pith, lots of pithy resinous fruits, super aroma.
Althea
Our new session ale
Althea is a modern American Pale Ale. Unlike many pale ales, Althea is low on bitterness, yet massively hoppy on the aroma. Althea is a beer that can be enjoyed by the pint or by the glass!
News and Events
New DIPA this week as Double Super Fuzz goes into cans for the first time. 9% ABV with a base of Maris Otter malt, Oats & Wheat. All cool whirlpool & dry hop with Idaho7 from @crosbyhops plus a little Citra & Mosaic. A BIG tropical pulp combo, all Pineapple and Passion fruit. Beautiful!

Table Beer : Mittlefrüh is hitting taps from today. This pintable 3.5% beer is hopped with Hallertau Mittlefrüh at various stages of the boil. Another addition of Mittlefrüh by way of a tiny dry hop delivers a waft of orange pith & fresh hay, finishing with a beautiful herbal bitterness. Cheers!

Galway Bay Brewery is at Hooked.
If you fancy the best fish and chips on the wild Atlantic way then get yourself down to Hooked in Galway's West end. Tastes even better when washed down with a cold bottle of Galway Bay Brewery Buried at sea. #wecraftbeer
