Craft brewers Bru Brewery have signed a new €200,000 contract with SuperValu.

The partnership comes as the brewery, based in Trim, Co Meath , launch their exclusive gluten free craft lager.

SuperValu will now have exclusive rights for the Irish microbrewery’s innovative craft beer.

The company was set-up two years ago, and what started as a microbrewery employing just two members of staff, their team has now grown to eight.

Commenting on the partnership between SuperValu and Bru Brewery, Minister for Agriculture, Marine and Food Simon Coveney said: “Bru Brewery’s continued success reflects the huge potential of Ireland’s craft beer sector.

“Beyond the jobs created directly by Irish microbreweries, there are also additional knock-on benefits for the local economy and farm families who supply local ingredients to companies like Bru Brewery.”

Managing Director of SuperValu Martin Kelleher added: “We’re delighted to support this emerging sector and help Irish microbreweries grow.”
