Brothers Seamus and Eamon O’Hara established the Carlow Brewing Company (also known as O’Hara’s Brewing Company) in 1996 and have been at the forefront of the Irish Craft Beer scene ever since. With a keen knowledge of the brewing history in Ireland and an awareness as to the lack of locally produced quality beer, the pair started out from the “Goods Store” in Carlow town with a mission to change the landscape of Irish brewing, taking back control from the mainstream producers who were dominating the marketplace. Today, after multiple awards and expansions, and a pub to boot, O'Hara's proudly produce an array of different brews, from traditional Irish beers to barrel-aged bottlings, they have stayed true to their ethos of honing quality craft beers.
