St Mel’s Brewing Company is an independent Irish-owned brewery founded by Liam Hanlon and Eoin Tynan in 2014. If Liam’s name rings a bell, it might be because he was previously the head brewer at Carlow Brewing Company. Eoin Tynan is new to the industry, though – he has a background in international investment with a masters in business management, but crucially, he has a love of craft beer too.
The brewery is named after St Patrick’s nephew, Mel, who helped spread knowledge and learning throughout the Irish Midlands in the 5th century - Longford Town's iconic cathedral is named after him.
Now St Mel’s Brewing Company is hoping to spread the word about craft beer and make you a convert if you aren’t already. Their core range of beers includes a pale ale, helles lager and brown ale as well as some seasonal specials.
