Guinness-maker Diageo is set to build a brand new €200 million brewery in Kildare which will create over 1000 jobs during construction.
If planning permission is secured, Diageo will start production at the Newbridge site in 2024, employing around 1,000 construction workers. The brewery will take two years to construct.
The purpose-built, carbon-neutral facility will brew a range of ales and lagers, including Hop House 13, Rockshore, and Smithwick’s. This plan will help free up space at St James’s Gate, making it easier to produce more stout.
