9 White Deer Brewery is nestled in the heart of West Cork, Ireland making the highest quality Irish beers with Irish ingredients. The name 9 White Deer has a strong link to Baile Bhuirne, as it is where one of Ireland’s most famous saints; St. Gobnait visited and made it her place of resurrection. According to the 6th century fable, St Gobnait was told by an angel that where she will come upon 9 White Deer is where she will also find a mystical well and to then set up an Abbey and a church.
Our company is located in a Gaeltacht – an area with special linguistic status, because of the amount of people who still speak Irish on a daily basis. Our company is known locally as Fia Bán, the Irish for White Deer, and we also produce a beer called Stag Bán (white stag) in memory of St. Gobnait’s vision Siúlaigh Éire go léir trí chéile ach gaibh go réidh trí Bhaile Bhúirne agus bíodh deoch beorach agat in ár dteanna.
