Farmageddon MY NAME IS NOT QUAID! American Red Ale 4.6% ABV
Farmageddon is based just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland. The members of the team are a group of devoted craft beer-loving individuals who developed their idea of creating the styles of beer that they liked to drink. Brew beer that is not chemically engineered so is unfiltered and suitable for vegans.
It was in the latter stages of 2013 when the group decided to expand on their passion for home brewing and put their creativity to the test. The experimenting of different flavours and combinations commenced and the results were pretty good. A few batches of 'moonshine market research' and a LOT of sampling later and Farmageddon was born – a co-operatively owned craft brewery.
The name ‘Farmageddon’ came from late-night chats about what would be needed to survive the Zombie apocalypse? The answer seemed simple, brewing your own beer and raising animals for food were at the top of that list.
For the Co-op members, home brewing is part of the mutual interest in growing fruit and vegetables, foraging, rearing pigs, sheep and chickens and a general love of self-sufficiency.
Part of the initial market research activity included making enough beer for Eoin and Rose’s wedding which took place in the shed that was to become the brewery, after the company that was going to make it a timeshare exited. It went down like a storm and not a drop was left, this cemented the plan to push forward and develop the beers.
