Dungarvan Brewing Company has entered new hands after 13 years of operating as a family-run business - for an undisclosed sum.
Brewing since 2010, Dungarvan Brewing Company, was founded by head brewer Cormac O’Dwyer, his wife Jen Uí Dhuibhir, his sister Claire Dalton and her husband Tom Dalton.
The news was announced by Claire Dalton in a statement on social media.
“After an incredible journey that has spanned over a decade I am thrilled to announce that Dungarvan Brewing Company is passing into new hands.
“Tom Dauber, an incredibly talented and passionate individual, will be taking the helm as the new owner and steward of our beloved brewery. We are incredibly fortunate to have found a buyer who is keen to continue the legacy of the brewery, and Tom has exciting plans to take the business into its next phase, bringing with it growth and development of the brand and beers.
“The journey of Dungarvan Brewing Company has been one filled with challenges and triumphs. We’ve witnessed a remarkable transformation in the Irish craft beer scene, from just a handful of breweries to a vibrant, diverse and dynamic community that has gained recognition on the global stage. It’s been an absolute privilege to be a part of this evolution, and I am immensely proud of the role Dungarvan Brewing Company has played in shaping the industry and our local community.
“My own plan is to continue to be a part of the business, working alongside Tom and his team, and contributing to the legacy we’ve built together.”
