Hercules Brewing Company, a name synonymous with Belfast's rich brewing heritage, proudly presents the Yardsman Rivets IPA. This brewery, which traces its origins to Hercules Street in Belfast between 1845-1855, was among the earliest in the city during a time when Belfast boasted 13 breweries. The city's prominence as a brewing hub was unparalleled, with its indigenous industries like Linen Making, Rope Making, Ship Building, Distilling, and Brewing leading the way. However, the rise of the industrial revolution shifted the brewing epicentre to Dublin. Today, Hercules Brewing Company revives those golden days, using traditional brewing methods combined with modern techniques.
