History

Ireland has traditionally had a long history of brewing. At the beginning of the nineteenth century there were over two hundred breweries in the country, producing a wide range of Irish beer. This number dropped significantly by the twentieth century due to the dominance of a few large and famous breweries. By 2007 there were only about 12 breweries in the country, with most producing mass-produced beer, backed by formidable marketing budgets.

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 along with his brother Eamonn. Due to the dominance of macro beers in Ireland at the time, the brewery was initially very export orientated. Interest in the brewery, and craft beer in general, has increased.
