[[Ireland]] has traditionally had a long history of [[brewing]]. At the beginning of the nineteenth century there were over two hundred breweries in the country, producing a wide range of [[beer in Ireland|Irish beer]]. This number dropped significantly by the twentieth century due to the dominance of a few large and famous breweries. By 2007 there were only about 12 breweries in the country, with most producing mass-produced beer, backed by formidable marketing budgets.<ref>http://books.google.ie/books?id=IO91Rvz7cTEC&pg=PT671&dq=%22Ireland+has+traditionally+had+a+long+history+of+brewing%22+isbn:1605010405</ref>
