Producer Background
Founded in 2013, The White Hag Brewing Company was one of the early pioneers of Ireland’s modern craft beer movement. Named after a mythical creature from Irish folklore, the brewery embraces both ancient traditions and forward-thinking innovation. From the outset, the team set out to challenge perceptions of what Irish beer could be, drawing on global influences while remaining deeply rooted in Sligo’s landscape and cultural history.
Their beers span a diverse spectrum — from sessionable pale ales and West Coast-style IPAs, to oatmeal stouts, heather ales, and experimental sours aged in oak. The brewery is also known for its vibrant branding and community-focused events, including the annual Hagstravaganza festival, which showcases breweries from around the world. As a major player in the Irish Craft Beer scene, The White Hag continues to raise the bar for independent brewing in Ireland. Their beers have earned international recognition, yet remain proudly brewed and canned in Sligo — a true symbol of what modern Irish beer can achieve.
