About Fore Distillery

Oliver is a native Meath man who discovered his love for distilling whilst living abroad in the U.S. Oliver envisioned bringing the distilling processes he learned about in Kentucky and other American States back to his home turf and fusing those with the wild Irish countryside.

Fabulous wee distillery, Oliver is very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you have. The staff were amazing and the afternoon tea was spectacular. Thoroughly recommend an afternoon with these guys. The area is spectacular as well.

Seems to not know what it is, obviously the distillery is there, but the cafe seems to be an after though/easy cash in as only one other place in a high tourist area The higher end of the scale of prices, nice cakes and coffee, but for the price you'd hope so. Also not good seeing tesco bread and Aldi toilet roll not a good look Super friendly girls doing their best with the setup, but hearing one of them cursing and giving out as I went the car is not professional (keep it behind closed doors

For the first time I visited the Barrel & Bean Cafe today, to say I was impressed would be an understatement. Everything from our warm greeting at the door to the wonderful paintings of local history on the walls of the seating area to views of the surrounding countryside and Loch Bán gave it a familiar homely feel. The attention to detail was brilliant with books on local history to flowers neatly arranged on each table. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast. Overall I was delighted with every aspect
