EXCELLENT TRIPADVISOR RATING

An informative and fun day out

We did a private tour with tasting. My experience with the team at Blacks was excellent from start to finish.
Damien was extremely helpful and hospitable from the point when I phoned to enquire through to the end of our visit.

Global Testimonial 1

Amazing people and Drinks

Our tour guide (Nick) had a wealth of knowledge about Kinsale and the distillery/brewery.
After the tour we had a drink at the bar and was served by Luke who was very friendly and chatty.
I recommend anyone who is in cork area or visiting Kinsale to come here, either for a tour or just a drink!

Global Testimonial 2

Fun experience-great beer (and rum !)

We were given tour by Mike. We were with other groups from different parts of the world and also locals too. The brewery talk was very interesting and informative. Mike really knew his stuff. The best bit was the tasting afterwards when a lot of us stayed tasting the beer for sometime!
