I live in Celbridge so this is my local brewery. I'm currently sipping on a Rye River Upstream Pale Ale after a hard day's work and really enjoyed getting this behind the scenes look at what goes on in the brewery. I've been dying to do a tour but unfortunately since Covid they haven't restarted the tours they were doing. You can really see the passion and attention to quality they have and I'm proud to have such a great brewery in my home town.
Taste your beer from grain to glass. An immeasurably valuable tip. New homebrewers dont realize this. As homebrewers we are curious individuals. Follow your curiosity.
I didn't expect to watch the whole thing, yet here I am. I've never heard of this brewery here in the US, but I own a small brewery and seeing this scale and growth is incredible. I'm producing about 12-20 hectoliters per week - a drop in the bucket compared to Rye River. And to think they're growing up from homebrew pitches is absolutely wild.
Yeah they are a great example of how to really accelerate growth and still lovely people to do business with, they care about the quality of the beer so much. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
Only thing I would have liked was more of and end to end view of a brew, that would have been amazing! Great video all the same , brewer clearly knows his stuff super impressive
What's the reason a lot of craft breweries brew multiple a times a day on their kits to fill their tanks? Would having a brew house 3 or 6 times as large be so much more expensive?
As you've mentioned its the sheer cost of a much larger system, its not possible for many to buy the big brewhouse and all the other required kit at that scale so they use their revenue to grow into it where possible
@@Geterbrewed thanks! Makes sense I guess but it seems having two 3-person teams do extra shifts every day of the week would become pretty expensive too.
@@thephore investment and realistic scaling is a massive part of this you have to understand if you put that kind of investment in is the scale of growth to equal to the investment which in this case it clearly is but to try and get that kind of investment with the people you wish to work with is not easy
@@Geterbrewed i believe a bigger system fully automated should be more cost effectiv and the reason is with every charge they loose round about 70 to 100 liter´s of wort. So if they brew 3x in 24 hours with their system and 7 day´s a week is 1470 liter´s of wort, would be a half brewing charge in one week x 52 is 764 hektoliter a year lost wort. Or compared to their system it would be 30 brewing charges.
@@MrClivelupo they have a beautiful new brewhouse that has been installed and as far as i know it starts with testing runs later this month, we will have to return and do a second feature
Let’s just hope that the big conglomerate brewery’s keep their noses out from this operation, so sad to see beaver town brewery in London has been taken over by Heineken
In relation to the recent world beer awards they are currently the most decorated craft brewery , its a nice talking point but we say the liquid does the talking, one of many great local breweries i may add also

Thanks for the great message, they are doing alot of expansion atm hence why the tours haven't been running, exciting times ahead for the team at RRBC
LOVING THESE VIDEOS KEEP THEM COMIN GUYS
Thanks so much glad your enjoying them
@@Geterbrewed so jealous you got to meet McGruber
The sheer age tasting of product is one huge difference to some. Keep it up. If i was there i'd keep you in the fridge.
Wow, that’s was a treat. Fascinating. In awe to be fair. Brilliant video as always. Smashed the content there like
Nice one thanks so much
Great video and lots of interesting ideas that I've gleaned to try out in my future brews.
Nice one, thanks for commenting
I run a nano brewery from my home and this video just makes me want to push forward, well done guys

They are still legally classified as a microbrewery
They and Carlow Brewing are really Regional brewers
Great video, really interesting.
I wonder if there will ever be a DO meter accessible to homebrewers?
We haven't came across one yet that you could describe as affordable for homebrewers
Only thing I would have liked was more of and end to end view of a brew, that would have been amazing! Great video all the same , brewer clearly knows his stuff super impressive
Yeah we are planning to do that later in the year all being well, thanks for watching!
Watching thie after my first homebrew ever, thinking yea i could do rhat 😅
Living the dream, brewing beer and living the brewery life !!
@@Geterbrewed honestly it feels like that, life was never better!

what do they do with the waste RO water? some operation that
Good question i'll ask them next day i'm down visiting
Get that 3.8% beer here please. I wish the market would adjust on this side of the pond. I homebrew and make things less than 5. mostly 4% abv
We have a complete glass bottle manufacturing process, can we discuss cooperation with you?
Glass is best, by far. Especially a stubbie like you're holding.

Didnt realise Mark Ruffalo was a brewer.
malty-tasking
Love the video but the most decorated craft brewery in the world 🤔 Im sure a few others would disagree.

At the rate they are going they will become a regional brewer/medium sized brewery
