Limerick City Breweries provides a history of Limerick breweries
The following is a list of breweries which operated in Limerick city
from 1739 onwards:
Sadly by 1880 all of these breweries had disappeared. Perhaps the main
reason for the decline of Limerick's breweries was the opening of the
canal from Dublin to Limerick. This allowed larger breweries such
as Guinness to supply Limerick with ale and porter at a price which the
local breweries were unable to compete with. In 1895, a proposal to
build a new brewery on the dock road was abandoned due to economic
reasons. REFERENCES 1.Limerick
