Plan your visit

See a small brewery at work

Fermanagh Beer Company is a brewpub operation in the heart of rural Fermanagh, brewing handcrafted ales inspired by the local area. A tour takes you behind the scenes of the brewing process and finishes with a tasting of what's available on the day. Expect stouts, porters and bottle-conditioned ales under the Inishmacsaint and Farmageddon brands. Because the team is small and brewing comes first, visits are arranged directly rather than booked online.

The story

About Fermanagh Beer Company

The brewery started out as Inishmacsaint Brewing Company, named after the historic island and peninsula on Lower Lough Erne, and began brewing in 2009. It built a name for bottle-conditioned ales made with pure local spring water in the rural countryside near Derrygonnelly.

The business was rebranded as Fermanagh Beer Company in 2018, and now produces beer under both the Inishmacsaint and Farmageddon labels. Its draught reaches its own Old Pal's Bar in Derrygonnelly and outlets across the county, with the brewery itself remaining a small, hands-on operation.
