BREWERY OPENING IN NEWTOWN

- By MYLES BUCHANAN

WICKLOW Wolf recently held a launch for their highly anticipate­d new brewery in Newtownmou­ntkennedy.

The launch coincides with a number of key milestones, including the brand’s fifth birthday, a complete rebrand and the move from bottle to can packaging.

Upon arrival, guests enjoyed a welcome beer of Elevation and sampled some of the food on offer from Bray’s Platform Pizza before taking a tour around the new brewery and all of its features.

Damn Fine Print was on hand offering attendees the chance to screenprin­t a bespoke Wicklow Wolf tote bag to keep as a memento. Friends of the brand were then invited to join the pack and become part of the new brewery’s history by signing their name on a large scale mural to mark their attendance at the event. Meanwhile, a local bluegrass band provided the soundtrack for the evening and created a lively and jovial atmosphere.

Co-Founders of Wicklow Wolf Quincey Fennelly and Simon Lynch were delighted with the attendance.

‘This brewery has been years in the making and we’re so proud of what the Wicklow Wolf team has achieved. Sustainabi­lity has always been at the forefront of what we do at Wicklow Wolf and with our new brewery we’re one step closer in achieving our goal of operating a carbon neutral facility,’ said Simon.

The new 17,000 sq ft brewery is located on a ten-acre site. The new premises will increase Wicklow Wolf ’s annual productivi­ty eight-fold supporting their plans to expand domestical­ly and into European markets and further afield.
