Product Information

Guinness has an incredibly loyal following but a lot of other Irish beers do too, with the likes of Porterhouse, Kilkenny, Murphys and Beamish all having their fans. The last few decades have seen a rise in craft beers, microbreweries and brewpubs too, with these smaller independent establishments ensuring the Irish beer scene continues to excite, and today there are some 23 craft breweries in operation. The table below contains all postcodes on a two day service. Please note all deliveries to Northern Ireland are also on a 3-5 days service. Even today, this brewery produces quality beers that are distributed all over Ireland. Although Caffrey’s has never achieved the record sales of its Guinness competitor, it has managed to endure and establish itself as a quality stout. Caffrey’s special features Caffrey’s Stout Offshore Island deliveries will take longer than two days including Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scottish Highlands and Islands and Scilly Isles. Caffrey's has a luxurious silky texture that uncovers hints of banoffee pie, rich malt loaf and juicy red apples.

Although Caffrey’s is a lesser-known Irish stout than its Guinness, Murphy’s or Beamish counterparts, Caffrey’s is a very pleasant-tasting beer. It’s a little rarer in pubs, but it’s very popular with the Irish! A sneak preview of this stout… History of Caffrey’s A Family Brasserie Think Irish beer and chances are Guinness springs to mind. And with good reason—this beloved stout has been a favourite since it was first developed over two centuries ago, but of course, there’s more to Irish beer than that… Caffrey’s ale was released in 1994 as a cold lager with smooth, malty flavor, and the promise of cold lager to be served cold until the bitter end… The Perfect Irish Ale: Caffreys In 2011, Caffrey's sold around 35,000 barrels in the UK, down from 200,000 in 2002. From 2000, the popularity of Caffrey's rapidly declined, despite a relaunch in the UK in 2010. [2] After this date, it is apparent that there was a strategic decision by Coors to concentrate on other brands, although no official announcement was made.

It feels like the days of the nitro ales are numbered. This is mainly due to much better competition, the rise of craft breweries, and a decline in ale drinking.On Nicolas Caffrey’s death, the Dublin brewery was closed: as it had not been a success, his son, Thomas Caffrey, decided to sell the premises and set up another brewery in County Antrim, which he named the “Thomas Caffrey Brewing Co. The Caffrey's Ulster Brewery, established in Belfast in 1897 and taken over by Bass in 1974, closed in 2004, so ending big company brewing in Northern Ireland. [7] See also [ edit ]

Beer brewing in Ireland has been around for a long time, and by the 18th century it was a strong (and growing) industry. Ale used to be favoured as hops weren’t native to the island but this all changed when the plant started to be imported, with a lot of brewers moving to stout and, finally, lager. Brewing was encouraged as an alternative to distilling as it was thought beer was better for you, and over the next couple of centuries brewing prospered. At its launch Caffrey's was brewed to 5.2% ABV. In 2001 it was reduced to 4.2% and to 3.8% in 2010 in an attempt to halt declining sales.

The story of Caffrey’s beer begins when Nicolas Caffrey, a wealthy silk and linen merchant, decided to set up his own brewery in central Dublin, around 1850. He wants to compete with the famous Guinness beer, which is sold en masse in every pub in the city and the rest of the country. years later, his son, Thomas Caffrey, decided to assist his father in the production of the brewery.
