Craft Beers
Don't like beer? Good.
We accept your challenge to serve you with a great beer which you will love!'
We brew fresh, unfiltered, small-batch beer in Derry~Londonderry—designed with the city and its people at heart. Led by Head Brewer James Huey (formerly Guinness), every pint is crafted “grain to glass” right here in Ebrington Square.
"A Family at Heart"
James & Louise Huey opened the Walled City Brewery in May 2015.
We are a family company - James's sisters Jill was the original executive chef & Yvonne is the architect & interior designer! Plus Sylvia (retired staff nurse) cleans all the tea towels, and Stan (retired teacher) puts up our awards!
James is a qualified diploma brewer having spent 12 years brewing with Guinness!
Enjoy your visit to the Walled City Brewery, it is our families pride & joy, and we hope it will be yours too!
