What was announced
Diageo officially opened Littleconnell Brewery in Newbridge, County Kildare, following an investment the company places at almost €300 million. The site produces ales and lagers including Rockshore, Harp, Smithwick’s, and Kilkenny.
What the detail means
Diageo says the brewery operates on renewable electricity and has created more than fifty permanent roles. A further investment of about €400 million is planned for a second brewery focused on Guinness and Guinness 0.0, subject to the company’s delivery programme and relevant approvals.
Industry context
A new brewery changes production capacity, logistics, utilities, employment, and the allocation of brands across a manufacturing network. Environmental claims should be assessed using operating data over time, including energy source, water, waste, packaging, and the boundary used for reporting.
