The Carlow Brewing Company, also known as O'Hara's Brewing Company,[1][2] is an Irish craft brewery located in Bagenalstown, County Carlow.
[3][4] 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.
