Success
Founded in the summer of 2014 by husband and wife team Richard Siberry and Michaela Dillon, in Ballinough, Co. Roscommon, Black Donkey Brewing is Ireland’s original, multi-award winning farmhouse style brewery. Embracing tradition and Ireland’s long and storied brewing heritage, Black Donkey’s beers are still brewed the same way beer’s been brewed for generations. The beer is never filtered, and no chemicals, findings, or other additives are ever used. The brewery specialises in brewing traditional, yeast, and malt-focused beers. Black Donkey created the Irish Farmhouse Ale style with the launch in 2014 of their flagship “Sheep Stealer”. The entire brewing and packaging process “from grain to glass” takes place in the 560M2 brewery, in the village of Ballinlough, all Black Donkey beers are bottled or kegged on site. Every brew is pure, natural, vegetarian and vegan friendly, and is packed with natural flavour and character. Bottle and keg conditioning means the beers are live, with long shelf lives, and can continue to evolve and develop over time, much like fine wines.
