The Dublin brewing scene

Local breweries across Dublin

Dublin's beer story runs from Guinness, poured at St James's Gate since 1759, to a wave of independents that have reshaped the city. Whiplash, Rascals, Trouble Brewing and Hope lead a modern scene of taprooms and brewpubs turning out everything from crisp lager to hazy IPA.

Many of these breweries run their own taproom or pub, and the city makes an easy crawl from one to the next. The same names anchor Dublin's festivals, so a favourite brewery is a short step to a day out.

Changing Times Brewery

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.

Outer Place Brewing

Maynooth

Outer Place is a new Irish Craft brewery in Kildare focused on hoppy styles of beer. The story of Outer Place begins at the home of Mark Clarke and Vivien Lough. Mark has home-brewed for years as a hobby and has always dreamed of opening a brewery to satisfy his desire for hoppy beer. We will be creating beer with friends and collaborators in breweries around Ireland and beyond. Our vision is to someday create a destination brewery that is fiercely independent, ethically inclined and sustainable. Our goal is to create modern, progressive, delicious beers inspired by friends, family, art, music, nature and whatever else takes our fancy along the way.
