Maude Delap, born in 1866 in Valentia Island, County Kerry, is a true Irish pioneer in marine biology. Known for her groundbreaking work in the early 1900s, she was the first person to successfully breed jellyfish in captivity, revolutionising the study of marine life.

Despite lacking formal training, Delap’s dedication and passion for marine research led her to contribute valuable insights to the scientific community. She meticulously studied the diverse marine species around Ireland’s coast, becoming a respected figure in biology circles. Her research remains influential to this day.

At McGill’s Brewery, we honor her legacy with our Maude Delap Irish Red Ale, a brew that reflects her tenacity and deep connection to Ireland’s natural beauty. Just as Maude explored the unknown depths of the sea, we aim to craft beers that explore bold flavors and tradition.

Cheers to Maude Delap – an Irish legend who paved the way for future generations of scientists!
