About Us
Exquisite Irish Craft Beer, Locally Sourced

Our Story
How it all began
The journey began in 2016, with a vision to reignite the traditional art of brewing along the historic banks of the Grand Canal. Barry Flanagan, the visionary behind our brewpub (and yes, the dashing gentleman on the left), dreamt of creating Kildare's first-ever brewpub right here at Lock 13, offering authentic Irish Craft Beer. It was more than just about brewing beer; it was about crafting a legacy.
From 2017 to Today
Since our doors swung open in June 2017, Kildare Brewing Company has been at the forefront of the craft beer scene, earning accolades for our distinctive small-batch brews. Our head brewer, with an unwavering commitment to quality, specialises in crafting exceptional ales and lagers that capture the essence of our passion for Irish Craft Beer.
