LIMERICK’S Market Quarter have launched their new, specially brewed craft beer. The tipple is the result of a unique collaboration between the publicans of the Market Quarter and Treaty City Brewery.
The beer is 100 per cent Limerick and 100 per cent unique, according to the brewers.
“Developing a beer from scratch is a long process that includes extensive research and numerous tasting sessions. The result is the creation of ‘The Market Quarter Beer’, a light beer with a good hop aroma. The Market Quarter beer is slightly floral and fruity with a medium malt flavour. It is an incredibly drinkable session beer low in bitterness and light in colour” explains Stephen Cuneen of Treaty City Brewery.
The project began with the Market Quarter publicans discussing the potential for a common beer, which would be exclusive to their pubs only. They met and discussed what could be done with Stephen Cuneen of Treaty City Brewery and a partnership was formed. “This is the first time this sort of approach has been undertaken anywhere in Ireland. It caters for traditional drinkers and craft beer enthusiasts alike,” a spokesman for the publicans said.

James Lennon, Chairperson of the Market Quarter described the launch of the Market Quarter Beer; “We’re delighted, it’s something that has brought us all together as a group. People are looking for a different drink experience, we can see that in the expansion of the craft beer and gin market. Customers want something more authentic. We want our customers to experience a new brew that’s interestingly delightful and most importantly 100 per cent Limerick made.”
