Bullhouse was founded by Willy Mayne in March 2016. The brewery began as a hobby business, brewing on old dairy tanks that had been converted into a 500L brewhouse in a former bull pen on Willy's family farm just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The initial ethos of the brewery was to bring to market styles of beer not available in NI. This has evolved and we are now on a mission to liberalise the beer landscape in Northern Ireland by providing original, no-frills venues for the local community and campaigning to change Northern Ireland's outdated licensing legislation.

We pride ourselves on our environmentally friendly approach to brewing and packaging, and our involvement in the local community.

Bullhouse has outgrown the original brewhouse, and in September 2020 we moved production to a 6000sq ft facility in South Belfast, between the Lisburn Road and Boucher Road.
