Burren Brewery at the Roadside Tavern

One of the only three craft breweries in Ireland that were mentioned in the Lonely Planet Global Beer Guide - the Burren Brewery at the Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna, County Clare, Ireland.
Established in 2011 by master brewer Peter Curtin, the craft beers have gathered a wide followership among (beer) tourists and locals alike. The Burren Gold (lager), Burren Red (ale) and Burren Black (stout) are full of character that commercially produced beers usually lack.
A few years back, Peter decided to experiment and create a beer that was brewed in this certain way in Ireland ages ago, before the method went out of fashion. He gathered wild yeast in a special place in the Burren over five days. This yeast then was used to brew beer without hops! A local herbalist foraged for suitable herbs, and the "Euphoria" gruit or grut beer was born.
