Where to Try Craft Beer in County Kildare

County Kildare has a beer worth making a trip for. Kildare Brewing Company began brewing in 2017 at Lock 13 Brewpub, beside the Grand Canal in Sallins.

Start at the brewery

Lock 13 is the best place to taste our beer at its source. Ask the team what is pouring today, enjoy food at the brewpub, and see the canal setting that inspired the brewery. Plan a visit to Lock 13.

Find your style

Chapel Lane Lager is crisp and easy drinking. Soldier's Island Pale Ale has bright hop character with a balanced finish. Electric Juice IPA is the bolder, hazier option. The 12-can Discovery Box gives you four cans of each style, so you can decide for yourself.

Go behind the scenes

Our brewery tours show you the working brewhouse and finish with three or five beer tastings. Check availability for your preferred date before buying admission.
