WICKLOW WOLF
Independent By Nature
At Wicklow Wolf, our mission is to brew exceptional beers without compromise and with true passion. Independently brewed for independent minds. We are locally rooted and at one with nature, brewing beers in a sustainable way.
In 2022 we took our commitment to sustainability one step further, we have commissioned the installation of over 120Kw of solar panels, covering the entirety of our 17,000 sq ft brewery roof. Find out more on our sustainability by following the links below.

ELEVATE YOUR DAY
Some days just happen. Others you go out and make the most of them.
‘Elevate Your Day’ is all about those days where the little moments add up. It is an excuse to round up the crew and seize the day – indulge in nice coffee, feel the wind in your hair, a day full of laughs, chats and making memories. From that first coffee to that final pint of Elevation, it’s about getting out, being present, and living the best day you can.
We’ve built a set of Wicklow Wolf guides to help you Elevate Your Day – local favourites to capture those small moments, and places that pair perfectly with a well-earned pint of Elevation Pale Ale to toast a great day.

OUR BEERS
GOOD FOR THE PLANET. GREAT IN THE GLASS.
Batch Brew brings a fresh purpose to surplus @brennansbread Batch White Loaf, with 15% of the malt bill made up from bread that would otherwise go to waste.
Brewed using electricity generated by our 120kW rooftop solar array, Batch Brew is a light, fruit-forward Pale Ale with bright citrus notes, a crisp finish and a subtle bready backbone.
Batch Brew; Beer Brewed Better. Available nationwide from all good beer retailers.

Last night, Wicklow Wolf Running Club met up in Bray for our final recce run ahead of this year’s @ecotrailwicklow. As our original home, Bray holds a very special place in our hearts, so this was the perfect location to wrap up our EcoTrail Wicklow recce series.
Our runners headed out onto the trails, taking in the views from Bray Head before making their way towards Greystones and back again. And, of course, no Wicklow Wolf run is complete without a well-earned Wicklow Wolf 0.5 afterwards.
Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the recce series so special. Bring on EcoTrail Wicklow next weekend!

HOP HARVEST 2026
In the true spirit of our Locavore hop harvest, we are beholden to nothing but Mother Nature. With this in mind, the hops are ready to be harvested, hand picked and added fresh into this year`s Locavore Hop Harvest beer.
We will be hand picking hops on Thursday 24th September in the Taproom from 10am – 2pm with all the hops being added straight into the brew at 2pm sharp.
If anyone is around to lend a hand picking the hops, there will be coffees and of course some beers for all our helpers again. Please send us a private message if you will be able to make it. We will also make sure to keep a can or 2 aside of the final beer for all those who played a hand in hop picking when it finally releases.
Our hop harvest day is always a great community day and we can`t wait for this years harvest. See you all next week.

September is a special month for us at Wicklow Wolf. Not only are we celebrating 12 years in business, but it`s also been 7 years since we moved from Bray to our new home in Newtownmountkennedy.
Since then, a lot has happened. Our team has continued to grow, we’ve opened our Taproom, installed 120kW of solar panels on the roof, commissioned our 40-tonne grain silo for our base malt, and proudly became B Corp Certified.
Each milestone has helped shape who we are today, but our focus has remained the same from day one: Brewing Beer Better.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far. Here`s to the next chapter 🍻

This month we’re celebrating our 12th Birthday and it’s got us feeling a little nostalgic as we look back on our formative years in our original home in Bray.
A lot has changed since 2014. We’ve grown, evolved and maybe picked up a few more grey hairs along the way, but one thing has never changed: our passion and love for our home, Wicklow.
From the very beginning, Wicklow has been at the heart of everything we do and 12 years on, it still is. Here’s to where we started, how far we’ve come, and everything still to come.
