Blacks Brewing & Distilling
Review
On the outskirts of Kinsale, Blacks Brewing & Distilling stands out as one of the area’s most memorable visitor experiences. This family-run success story, led by husband-and-wife team Maud and Sam Black, has grown into far more than a production site; it’s a genuine attraction with personality at every turn. The tour is engaging, informative, and delivered with real humour, making complex brewing and distilling processes easy to understand and thoroughly enjoyable. You leave not only entertained, but noticeably better informed about what’s in your glass. What I admire most is the sheer range and quality on offer. From gin and rum to beer and whiskey, every product feels carefully crafted and full of character. Blacks is no one-trick pony; it is a bold, creative operation that reflects the spirit of modern Irish drinks culture while remaining warmly welcoming. A brilliant stop in Kinsale for curious beer and spirit lovers alike.
