Family employed at brewery since day it opened — 163 years ago

A brewery in Cork is throwing open its doors tomorrow as part of heritage week and is proud to trumpet an unbroken record of employment within one family stretching back to the day it opened — 163 years ago.

There has been a Hosford on the payroll of Murphy’s Brewery since 1856, which is now the Heineken Ireland brewery, and over that period they have been responsible for brewing millions of pints.
