Founded by three brothers in 2014, the award-winning brewery announced the launch on Instagram after hosting its first public day last Saturday.
Visitors on opening day were able to try fresh pints and see the brewing setup for the first time.
And this fantastic taproom will now open every weekend, with hours running from midday into the evening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The brewery revealed the tours will offer an overview of how their beers are produced, covering everything from ingredient selection to canning.
They said: “Thanks to everyone who came and joined us for our opening day on Saturday.
It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces, and to welcome so many more new ones too! We’re open this weekend.”
Each tour includes access to the brewing area, where staff explain how they’ve developed their award-winning recipe and quality control.
Tickets cost €12.50 per person and it even comes with a pint tasting.
What’s more, the taproom is designed so people can stay on after the tour if they want to have more drinks or buy their cans to take home.
Tour slots are only available on Saturday afternoons, and advance booking through the brewery’s website is required.
Capacity for each tour group is small to allow time for questions and the brewery said they plan to assess feedback from early visitors to refine how the tours are delivered going forward.
They added: “We have a limited number of slots available for tours on Saturday afternoon, which are available to book on our website.
“Looking forward to seeing you all at the taproom in Belmont Demesne!”

Meanwhile, Irish foodies are set for a frenzy as a major UK bakery chain has opened their new flagship shop in Belfast – and it’s close to a tourist hotspot.
NEW FLAGSHIP SHOP OPENS
The iconic Greggs store is now available at a new location in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, marking their sixth opening in Northern Ireland in six months.
The UK chain opened its first premises on the island of Ireland in 2015 and has continued to expand as the popularity of the chain has rapidly grown.
It recently opened its fifth food outlet at The Junction Retail & Leisure Park in Antrim last month, creating 14 new jobs.
On May 31, the sixth location was launched at The ARC development, which was described as a “key milestone” by Greggs as part of their expansion in Northern Ireland.
The new store has produced 16 new jobs, part of around 100 new roles it’s creating here through new openings.
It will offer Greggs’ full menu of freshly prepared food-on-the-go items, including the famous sausage roll, steak bake and a variety of vegan options.
It will also include the classic breakfast rolls, deli-made lunches, yummy pastries, and hot and cold drinks.
