Brewery Stories
& More

Here we share the stories behind every batch, the inspirations that drive our brewing, and the everyday moments that make Mescan special. You’ll find everything from the technical details of our slow brewing process to the characters and adventures that shape life at Ireland’s most authentic Belgian-style brewery.

Whether we’re introducing a new seasonal beer, sharing insights from our brewing courses, celebrating our local stockists, or simply musing on the changing seasons in Mayo, these stories offer a glimpse into the passion, patience, and people that make each bottle of Mescan possible. Think of it as pulling up a stool at the brewery and hearing the tales that only get shared when the work is done and the beer is flowing.
