Irish customers could face beer price hikes as the industry struggles to cope with a range of external pressures such as inflation

which has increased business costs.

The closure of venues both domestically and in key international markets resulted in another challenging year for Irish brewers in 2021, but there were some signs of early recovery in the second half of the year. Lager, which was more popular during Covid as it was consumed at home, saw sales fall last year by just over 8.3 per cent, with ale sales up by 1 per cent.

Irish beer drinkers currently pay the second-highest rate of excise on beer in the EU, with industry leads calling for this to be slashed.
