Carlow Brewing Company

The Carlow Brewing Company, also known as O'Hara's Brewing Company,[1][2] is an Irish craft brewery located in Muine Bheag, County Carlow.[2] It is one of the largest craft breweries in Ireland.[3][4]

History

After seeing the wider range of beers available in bars in the United States and Continental Europe, Seamus O'Hara established the Carlow Brewing Company in 1996[5] along with his brother Eamon.[3] Due to the dominance of macro beers in Ireland at the time, the brewery was initially very export orientated.[5] In the last few years Irish interest in the brewery, and craft beer in general, has increased.[6] In 2017, Carlow Brewery Company acquired Craigies Cider and Hijos de Rivera, a Galician brewery, purchased a 32% stake in Carlow Brewing.[7]
