Producer Background
Bullhouse Brew Co was founded in 2016 by William Mayne, a homebrewer turned professional who originally brewed in a repurposed cowshed on his family’s land—hence the name. What started as a passion project quickly evolved into one of Ireland’s most progressive and exciting breweries. Today, Bullhouse operates from a state-of-the-art facility in East Belfast, complete with its own vibrant taproom known as Bullhouse East.
The brewery’s ethos is centred on creating full-flavoured, approachable beers that stay true to style while also embracing experimentation. Bullhouse is particularly well-known for its juicy New England IPAs, clean West Coast-style beers, and modern lagers that cater to the new wave of craft beer drinkers. The team are outspoken advocates for independent brewing and champion local collaboration whenever possible. As part of Ireland’s fast-growing craft scene, Bullhouse has helped raise the profile of Northern Irish beer and continues to shape the conversation around what craft beer Ireland can be.
