At Gourmet Grocer, we love products with a strong sense of place. The kind of food and drink that could not come from just anywhere, because its story is rooted in the landscape, character and people behind it.
Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. is exactly that.
Based just outside Derrygonnelly in County Fermanagh, Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. is a small craft brewery with a big local identity. Located on a farm and inspired by the history, countryside and character of the area, the brewery creates beers that feel closely connected to the Fermanagh landscape.
For us at Gourmet Grocer, Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. is a brilliant example of local drinks craft: small-scale, characterful and proudly Fermanagh.
A Brewery with a Fermanagh Story
Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. takes its name from Inishmacsaint, an island on Lower Lough Erne with deep local history. That connection to place is central to the brewery’s identity.
Founded by Gordon Fallis, the brewery began as a small farm-based project with a focus on brewing beers that reflected the local area. It is not a generic craft beer brand with a polished story added afterwards. This is a brewery that genuinely belongs to where it is made.
From Derrygonnelly to Lower Lough Erne, from farmland to local pubs and shelves, Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. carries a little piece of Fermanagh in every bottle.
Small-Batch Craft Beer with Character
Part of the charm of Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. is its small-scale approach.
The brewery is known for producing bottle-conditioned beers, with ranges linked to both the Inishmacsaint and Farmageddon names. Their beers have included styles such as blonde ales, IPAs and other characterful brews, made for people who enjoy trying something local and a little different.
Bottle-conditioned beer has a more traditional feel, with natural conditioning taking place in the bottle. It gives the beer character, depth and a sense of craft that suits the Inishmacsaint story perfectly.
This is beer made with curiosity and personality. It is not trying to be mass-produced or overly polished. It is local, individual and full of its own Fermanagh identity.
Inspired by Landscape, History and Local Ingredients
Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. is known for doing things a little differently.
The brewery’s story includes playful and unusual ideas rooted in the local area, from experimenting with local ingredients to drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape. There is something wonderfully Fermanagh about that approach: creative, rural, independent and not afraid to have a bit of character.
The beers are connected to the land around them, whether through the farm setting, the nearby lough, the history of Inishmacsaint island or the wider personality of West Fermanagh.
That sense of place matters. When you pick up a bottle from a local brewery, you are not just choosing a drink. You are choosing something made nearby, by people who understand the area and are adding to its food and drink story.
Why We Love Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. at Gourmet Grocer
Inishmacsaint Brewing Co. is exactly the kind of local producer we are proud to celebrate at Gourmet Grocer. It is Fermanagh-made, independent and full of personality.
Their beers fit beautifully into the Gourmet Grocer experience because they pair so well with the food we love to stock. Enjoy a bottle with artisan crisps, local cheese, charcuterie, chutneys, crackers, pickles or a relaxed weekend grazing board.
They also make a great addition to hampers and gifts for anyone who enjoys discovering local produce. A Fermanagh craft beer brings a personal, place-led touch to a hamper, especially when paired with savoury snacks, cheese, sauces and other Irish-made products.
For visitors to Enniskillen, it is also a lovely way to take a taste of Fermanagh home. For locals, it is a reminder that brilliant food and drink producers are working right here on our doorstep.
Perfect for Grazing, Gifting and Weekend Drinks
Good craft beer is made for the moments when food and drink are enjoyed slowly.
Serve Inishmacsaint beer with a cheeseboard, cured meats, crackers and chutney for an easy evening spread. Pair lighter beers with crisps, sandwiches, salads, chicken dishes or barbecue food. Enjoy richer or more hop-led beers with burgers, charcuterie, spicy snacks, toasted sandwiches or savoury bakes.
For gifting, add a bottle or two to a Gourmet Grocer hamper with local snacks, condiments, cheeses and sweet treats. It is a thoughtful way to build a gift that feels genuinely local and full of flavour.
For weekends, it is ideal for relaxed nights in, summer evenings, barbecues, dinner with friends or simply trying something brewed close to home.
