[[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]]. However, this number dropped significantly by the early twentieth century due to the dominance of a few large and famous breweries. However, there has been a flowering of 'craft breweries' across Ireland since the late 1990s. Today (October 2020), there are over 100 breweries on the island of Ireland. The vast majority of these breweries are small, independent breweries. |
