9 White Deer Brewery is nestled in the heart of West Cork, Ireland making the highest quality Irish beers with Irish ingredients. The name 9 White Deer has a strong link to Baile Bhuirne, as it is where one of Ireland’s most famous saints;
St. Gobnait visited and made it her place of resurrection. According to the 6th century fable, St Gobnait was told by an angel that where she will come upon 9 White Deer is where she will also find a mystical well and to then set up an Abbey and a church. The site that is associated with St Gobnaits revelation is just one kilometer away from the 9 White Deer Brewery in Baile Bhúirne Co. Chorcai.
Our company is located in a Gaeltacht – an area with special linguistic status, because of the amount of people who still speak Irish on a daily basis. Our company is known locally as Fia Bán, the Irish for White Deer, and we also produce a beer called Stag Bán (white stag) in memory of St. Gobnait’s vision
