If you're looking for proper craft beer in County Kildare, you're in the right place. Kildare has quietly become one of Ireland's most exciting craft beer destinations — and Kildare Brewing Co. is at the heart of it.
Kildare Brewing Co. — The Local Brewery
Based at Lock 13 Brewpub in Sallins, we've been brewing craft beer on the Grand Canal since 2015. Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurised, and brewed on-site — you can literally watch them being made through the glass while you eat your lunch.
Our range covers every mood: Chapel Lane Lager for the session, Soldier's Island Pale Ale for the hop lovers, Electric Juice IPA for when you want something bold, Railway Heist Red Ale for the malt fans, and Low Voltage Session Pale for when you want flavour without the ABV.
