Glasnevin
Changing Times Brewery is a Dublin-based brew venture founded by the families behind some of the city’s most renowned pubs, together with brewer Shane Long. Established in Glasnevin along the Royal Canal, the brewery was born from customer feedback—pub-goers voiced a desire for something new and locally brewed, which sparked conversations and eventually led to the brewery’s creation. Their initial beers include the light yet malty Daydreamer Lager and the juicy, citrusy After Hours Pale Ale. A stout launch is expected soon. As of mid-2025, the brewery is expanding beyond Dublin—its beers are now stocked in venues across the country, and production continues to scale.
