However, if a popping open a nicely chilled bottle isn’t an option right now; Black Donkey Brewing was born at 19:20 on Saturday July 5th 2014, when the first pitch of yeast was added into the first brew of the now classic Sheep Stealer. The lead up to that moment was years in the making.
Richard Siberry and Michaela Dillon returned to their native Ireland in 2012, having spent the best part of 3 decades working abroad. Richard was thirsty; he was also dismayed to find that every pub and bar in the country was still pouring the same three industrial beers they had been when he left in 1986. Spurred on by both his thirst for good beer, and their thirst for adventure, Richard and Michaela set about laying the groundwork for Black Donkey Brewing.
From the start we decided to brew the beers that we wanted to drink, and not to be dictated to by the market. It hasn’t always been an easy road, but by focusing on brewing our personal favorites, every recipe and every batch has to satisfy us first, before it ever leaves the brewery. We embrace the fantastic barley, which grows in abundance in our North Atlantic climate, to produce uniquely Irish beers, to suit Irish foods and palates, because, after all, we don’t grow grapes ‘round here.
