Brewery hoping to tap local investors by issuing shares

The Dingle Brewing Company needed to expand but didn’t want to go the traditional route of seeking finance from the banks.

The company, which brews ‘Tom Crean’s Fresh Irish Lager,’ had reached production capacity in its brewery but demand had continued to grow.

The brewery’s director, Jerry O’Sullivan, decided to try and fund the expansion by issuing shares in the year-old brewery.
