The brewery isn't open to the public, but drop Aidan an e-mail through the web site and he'll do his best to give you a look round and answer questions. A real Irish brewer making real Irish beer is often not the most accessible of commodities, and capturing one in his natural habitat is a really valuable experience. The fact that the brewhouse still wears the trappings of the short-lived Emerald Brewery serves as a stark reminder of what a precarious business Irish craft brewing can be.

It's real craft beer stuff at Hooker: simple kit, a couple of fermentation tanks and a storeroom full of malt and hops. Oh, and there's an all important beer tap, though I don't know if that's a permanent fixture.

As is the way of these things, you can't buy the beer anywhere local, and unless you have your own pub you won't be able to take any away with you. Best get back to Galway and pull up a barstool at Sheridan's.
