Wicklow Wolf Brewing was established in 2013, with the founders planting 10-acres of hops for their venture.

They used their own funds as well as backing from Enterprise Ireland to get the business off the ground.

They also persuaded a brewer to move from Colorado to Ireland to help drive the operational side of the business. The company supplies well over 200 off-licences and pubs.
