We'll also learn of some old styles of corporal punishment practised in Limerick down through the centuries – from the Vikings 'eye for an eye' approach, to the days of Georgian Limerick when criminals were nailed to a wooden post by their ears.

Located in the heart of Limerick’s Medieval Quarter, the brewery offers an authentic experience that pays homage to the art of craft brewing that has been much loved throughout the centuries.
