St James's Gate Brewery in Dublin
This is a list of breweries in Ireland . Brewing has a long history in
Ireland ; the country's largest city,
Dublin , is home to one of the largest breweries in the world,
St James's Gate Brewery , founded by
Arthur Guinness more than 250 years ago.
With Irish people being the world's sixth biggest drinkers of beer,
[1] there has been plenty of opportunity for new breweries to gain a share of the market, and a wide range of
craft beers began appearing in the early years of the current century, produced at
microbreweries and in
brewpubs across the country.
Operational breweries

Republic of Ireland , with around 35 in operation in
Northern Ireland .
