Bríd’s Cross Brewing

BRÍD’S CROSS (pronounced Breed’s Cross) is named for the cross of the Irish goddess Bríd, which was traditionally plaited from rushes for the festival of St Bridget’s Day / Imbolc on 2nd February. St Bridget is a patron saint of brewers; she is said to have turned water into beer for a colony of lepers and to have provided enough beer for 18 churches from a single barrel. Bríd is also a goddess of poetry and storytelling.

Bríd’s Cross Brewing was first dreamt up in the winter of 2021-22. After a year of planning and preparation, our first commercial beer was released in September 2023.

We brew a range of traditional cask ales, as well as modern beer styles in keg and can. Our beers are inspired by, and named after, folk tales and mythology associated with the British Isles.

We hope you enjoy drinking our beers and discovering more about the tales which inspired them.
