Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Kim is amazing and we love her brewery!
Proper oldschool brewery, exactly what we were looking for. Great beers and ciders, friendly service and classic decor. She also does takeaways so you can grab a few bottles to take home and try with your friends and partners.
Definitely worth a look in at if you're passing through Westport or staying here for longer!

P.s. If there is an ale better than her Barley Wine, then neither of us have tried it yet!

My 2 Brothers and I went to the West Coast Brewery last Saturday. The Lady there was so helpful and well informed about their beers. We each tried the sampling tray. They certainly have some great beers there.
I certainly would recommend a visit to the West Coast Brewery.

Called in to top up on some beers. Very friendly service with great advice on the drinks on offer. Tasted a couple and left with a six pack. A very pleasant 10 minute stop. Quality beer and cider.

IPA be still my beating heart. Oh dear this is a good IPA or if you are cider inclined the hopped chilli is just for you. Well it was for me as I still can't decide which one I like the best. Staff is very friendly and extremely helpful.

Didnt know the place even existed until we walked past it on the street, went in for a look and the lady was only to happy to give us samples of basically everything there was to try, worked in her favour as we ended up buying various bottles to take away, have now even been asking for their beer/cider in pubs /restaurants as it is not a bad drop at all!

Had an amazing time learning about not only the delicious beer on tap but also the local culture and history. Came here on recommendation from the Bazil’s hostel and didn’t regret it! New management has taken over since Sept. 2019 and is upgrading the space. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the variety and taste of beer is fantastic!

Popped in to buy some beer whilst on holiday and got talking to the head brewer Marc. Very friendly and happy to let you try before you buy. Very generous with his samples too. Now quaffing the Miner Black back at the batch.

We stumbled upon this place.
Tasted a few beers and purchased some 6 packs.

The beer is very very good. Unfortunately the brewery has no license. So it's impossible to buy beer and drink here.

Try this when you're in Westport

We were unfortunately late to this tour due to unforeseen circumstances. Nether the less, they still catered the tour around our time limit. Still got all the information and consumed the same amount of beer. The guys are really chilled and have a huge passion for beer clearly. Must do in Westport
