Galway Beer Festivals 2026

BRÚ Brewery

Oranmore

BRÚ Brewery was established in 2013 in County Meath, Ireland. It was driven by a passion to brew high quality, accessible beers for everyday drinkers. We’re proudly Irish, independent and committed to using only the best ingredients in brewing. We offer two core ranges driven by the same brewing spirit: BRÚ core and Urban Jungle. Today, BRÚ Brewery brews beer for all tastes, whether you’re a seasoned craft beer drinker, or just looking for a familiar quality pint. We’re committed to using the highest quality ingredients in everything we brew to deliver flavoursome and moreish beers. All our beers are vegan. Our BRÚ Core showcases traditional and classic Irish styles with a contemporary twist, while our Urban Jungle celebrates our adventurous side with bold, modern beers. Please note that we’re a working brewery from Monday to Friday and we’re unfortunately not open to the public.

Founded in 2009, we are an independently owned and operated brewery based in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland. From classic styles to big barrel aged beers, we brew the full spectrum of beer with a passion for quality and innovation.

Galway Hooker Brewery

Oranmore

Galway Hooker Brewery, founded in 2006 by cousins Aidan Murphy and Ronan Brennan and based in Oranmore, County Galway, is widely recognized for launching Ireland’s first Irish Pale Ale and coining the term itself. Their flagship Galway Hooker Irish Pale Ale is lightly floral with caramel notes and 4.3% ABV, brewed in small batches, and remains the heart of their core range. Over time, they've expanded into a broader bottled lineup—including stout, amber lager, and Sixty Knots IPA—as well as seasonals, all crafted with natural ingredients and a commitment to freshness. The brewery has earned numerous awards and helped pave the path for Ireland’s modern craft beer movement.
