Barrel Aged Tour

“A very enjoyable trip to McGilĺs brewery outside Waterville. Joe went into great detail explaining the brewing process for each of the beers produced and also the stories behind the names of the beers. Generous samples of beers were offered along with recommendations of places to visit in the area. Great to see a local brewery producing good quality beers.”

“What a great place to visit. Joe and his family have put their hearts and souls into this endeavour. His enthusiasm and energy are plain to see from the minute you meet him at the door of the brewery. An added bonus is the quality of the beers. All gorgeous but my favourite is the Maude Delap red ale. I’d recommend a visit here to anyone who’s in the area. If you’re a beer drinker you won’t be disappointed.”

“Joe and Mags had a warm welcome for us, fielded a lot of questions and answered with craic.  We were a pre booked stag and they handled us with gusto. Beers were good, it’s a small location, ask questions and you’ll have craic.”

“Our visit to McGill’s micro brewery was brilliant. My daughter really wanted a brewery experience where we were greeted by John taken through the brewing process, provided with a variety of varies tasters and were made to feel so welcome and the banter was brilliant!”

“Great staff and great beer! Everything was hands on. Even got a couple barrel aged beers for later which i am eager to try! Would recommend!”

“Great Micro Brewery, great Beer Tasting, very skilled Staff with a very entertaining way to explain the way of Beer Brewing, fantastic Beer.”

“McGill’s Waterville IPA best beer in Ireland if you like big Hoppy IPA’s. Small brewery in Waterville fun to visit. Joe, the Owner very welcoming.”

🤩

“Excellent Oktoberfest party! The beers are mighty too! Well done Joe, Mags and all the team! Good selection · Knowledgeable staff · Friendly bartenders”

“The brewer Joe loves the art of brewing and it shows. Ales and beers with stories attached and relevant to the spectacular ring of Kerry. This brewery is very likely the smallest commercial craft brewery in Ireland. I have tasted spirits, wine, beer, ales and all kind of alcoholic beverages all over the world and trust me you won’t be disappointed if you visit Joe’s brewery.”

“Joe gave us a great insight into how beer and stout is made in a really fun way. Would definitely recommend a stop here on the Ring of Kerry!”

🙂

“The story of the creation of this company was really entertaining and interesting, and the beers tried there have a real different taste than other beers I’ve tried so far in Ireland.”

“Great local stories and beers.
Small brewery with a big heart, well worth the visit, located right on the ring of Kerry.”

🤩 🤩 🤩

“Great way to spend a couple of hours. Joe is very knowledgeable about brewing but also a mine of information about the local area. Very entertaining company.”

“This is a great tour of a lovely brewery. Joe was an excellent host and clearly has high hopes for his brewery. And the beer tastes great. You won’t leave without a case of It!”

“Great experience for groups, stag and hen parties. Joe is a great host and brewing is his passion. He is full of stories and anecdotes that make a visit a memorable experience. You can’t help admire Joe for following his dream and giving up a career in investment banking to open a brewery in beautiful Waterville. You will want to bring back a few bottles of their great beer so you can relive the experience. Don’t miss it!”

“We had a very interesting time together with Joe, the owner and heart of McGill‘s. We tasted the latest Skellig Monk Blonde and the Dark Sky Reserve Stout. You really taste that both are made with heart and a lot of true craftsmanship. Joe, all the best for the future and keep on the good work and continue with your enthusiasm and explorer mindset! Hope to come back or taste your products in the near future!”

“Joe, you were an awesome host to my friend and I! I seriously could have stayed and talked to you for another hour! First, this place is a micro brewery, but between Joes intro video, his beer, and himself, it makes stopping worth it if you’re in Kerry or doing the Ring of Kerry. I’ve done a few Brewery tours, but because how small it is, it felt personal and more in touch then the bigger tours like Guinness…”
