4. The Irish Brewing Industry from 1846.
Source – The Dynamics of the International Brewing Industry Since 1800.
A survey carried out in 1846 identified 115 Breweries in Ireland across 20 locations. **
Largest number by far were located in -
Dublin with 12 Breweries 49.4% of total national out put
Lisburn had 10 5.4%
Cork had 7 12.0%
Dundalk 6 3.2%
Population density and higher wages presented the brewers in Dublin and
Cork with a greater demand.
The Dublin brewers had an advantage in terms of distribution because of the
extensive Canal System.
While the construction of the Irish Rail Network improved rural market
access for the larger urban breweries. **
By the end of the 19th century there were still 5 breweries recorded as
existing in Co. Louth.
And a contributing aspect to the success of the Louth breweries was that
they were located in a major barley growing region.

Death of Prominent Dundalk Man.
For the relief of the poor of Dundalk he was always to be found in the front rank and amongst the
most liberal subscribers.

Magistrate. He was a member of the Harbour Board during the same period, and for some years
occupied the position of chairman. He was also a director of the Steam Packet Company, a magistrate
of the county, and an ex-officio Guardian of the Poor Law Board.
As a magistrate, whether in the borough or petty sessions in court, he was a lenient judge as far as
justice would permit him to be.
His commercial transactions were characterised by the strictest honesty and integrity. He was as
popular with the farmers from whom he purchased barley as with the vintners to whom he sold his
ales.
At the Petty Sessions on yesterday the magistrates postponed the hearing of all except the custody
cases, and the ships in the harbour of Newry as well as of Dundalk had their flags at half-mast as a

A quote from The Democrat.
1896.
The new consortium emerged and built a new brewery in the town which
was located close to the Great Northern Line.
Its first head brewer, a Mr. Borham, was renowned for his famed amber ale.
The company produced three kinds of ale –
A light dessert ale
An amber ale.
And a strong ale.

Dundalk Democrat in 1896 –
“Knock a man down,
while half a dozen or so would fell an ox.”
