History

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]
