Producer Background
Founded in 2016, Third Barrel Brewing was born from a collaboration between two Irish gypsy brewers, Stone Barrel and Third Circle, who joined forces to create a dedicated brewing facility in Dublin. The result is a fiercely independent brewery known for experimentation, creativity, and an unwavering dedication to quality.
From the beginning, Third Barrel has championed small-batch brewing with a focus on hop-forward beers, especially American-style IPAs, Pale Ales and Double IPAs. They’re not afraid to take risks—whether it’s a punchy West Coast IPA, a decadent imperial stout, or an ever-changing range of hazy seasonal releases. Their labels are often loud and irreverent, a reflection of the beer inside and the team behind it.
The brewery has grown into a core player in the Irish craft beer community, not only producing their own beers but collaborating widely across the country and beyond. Every beer from Third Barrel is unfiltered, unpasteurised, and packed with flavour—true to the spirit of craft. Whether you're exploring Irish Craft Beer for the first time or you’re a long-time hophead, Third Barrel is essential drinking.
