‘Maggies Leap’, the latest craft beer to emerge from the Whitewater Brewing Co. Limited stable.

Craft beers from the Kilkeel-based brewery are being showcased by the Hastings Hotels Group as part of its drive to promote locally produced food and drink.

“Northern Ireland is famous for its excellent food and drink, and products from the Whitewater Brewery are already proving popular in the export markets.

“2016 is Northern Ireland’s Year of Food and I have no doubt that the excellent reputation already established by Whitewater’s award winning products will be further enhanced by this latest addition to its range.”

‘Maggies Leap’ was launched at the Slieve Donard Resort & Spa. Speaking at the launch, Howard Hastings said: “Hastings hotels are proud to be working with Bernard Sloan and his Whitewater Brewery as part of our philosophy of showcasing the best of local food and drink from Northern Ireland.”

    It was a delight and a surprise to come across Maggies Leap IPA while on board the P & O Cruise Ship Brittania during a recent Caribbean Cruise. Full of flavour and totally refreshing, a superbly crafted beer. I will be in N. Ireland this weekend and will be on the look out for another one of your fantastic brews. I am originally from Gilford in Co. Down but left over 40 years ago to live in England.

  • Can’t wait to try this IPA when I’m next over in Newcastle County Down and what a great name for a beer I have just included the story of Maggie; daughter of Deegan a renowned poacher from ballyvaston killough County Down in my latest children’s book titled the boy and the boomerang from County Down, she is famous for out smarting a gang of soldiers who were chasing her because of her poaching escapades by jumping over a giant chasm with her basket of eggs, the chasm she jumped known now as Maggies leap is on the coast just south of Newcastle County Down

  • I would love to give you my full story of maggie the legend from County Down that I have just added to my latest published children’s book it’s a fabulous account of what really happened to Maggie and her family

  • Stevie campbell says:

    Hi,

    I live in fife but am originally from co. down. I was recently back home for a wedding and managed to taste your absolutely amazing ipa and to be honest I’m hoping you’re going to tell me that you ship to Scotland, …. and now you’re going to reply and tell me where I can pick up a batch of this beautiful nectar lol.

    Regards

    I am heartbroken…. Whitehead Golf Club has stopped selling Maggie’s Leap and I absolutely love it… can I order some for collection? My brother lives quite close to you near Kilkeel… I would be in heaven if you could let me know when either he or I could call to collect some.

  • Chris says:

      No, unfortunately we cannot sell to the public with our licensing laws. However, the off-license ‘KWM Wines’ offer an online service throughout the UK.
