A pioneer of the modern craft beer movement, famous for its innovation and quality, Galway Hooker has developed a reputation as one of Ireland’s leading breweries.

Established in 2006, Galway Hooker produced the original Irish Pale Ale - now the most popular style of craft beer in the country. We also produce a diverse range of core and seasonal beers both on draught and in bottle. We consider beer to be like any other food: the fresher and less processed the better. Our beers are therefore devoid of any preservatives and are brewed using only malt, hops yeast and water.

Galway Hooker is Ireland’s third oldest independent brewery and the oldest existing brewery in Connacht. In 2014 the business expanded into a new state of the art facility in Oranmore, making it one of Ireland’s largest and best equipped craft breweries.
