Carlow Brewing Company to create 12 jobs

Carlow Brewing Company, also known as O’Hara’s Brewery, has today announced that it plans to create 12 new jobs at its headquarters.

The recruitment drive will bring its total employee count to over 50.

The company's expansion has been driven principally by domestic and export sales of the O’Hara’s Irish Craft Beer brand, (which includes stouts, wheat beers, ales and lagers) and more recently by the Falling Apple craft cider brand.

The 12 permanent positions will be filled within three months and coupled with continued plant expansion increasing its brewing and packaging capacity further, this will result in an investment of €1m+ by the brewery.

Carlow Brewing Company is supported in job expansion by Enterprise Ireland.

Commenting on the announcement, Seamus O’Hara, CEO, Carlow Brewing Company said: "We are delighted to be in a position whereby we can create new jobs.

"We are always on the lookout for fresh talent, and this is the perfect opportunity for us to further strengthen our team across the board, and bring new life, vibrancy and ideas to our organisation.

"Today’s announcement is testament to the fact that if you support local breweries you will also in turn create local jobs. We are currently looking to add more space to our operations and in time this will facilitate further expansion and lead to additional jobs.

"Small, local breweries have been a success story in Ireland during recent years, and with craft beer accounting for only 1.5% of the overall beer market, we are confident there is plenty of room for growth.

"With the creation of these new jobs, we are supporting our existing customers, but also actively seeking new ones, and as a business we feel we are just at the beginning of what is an upward trajectory."

All of the new jobs will be located in Carlow, however with the export related roles there will be a requirement for travel.
