Keogh's Farm

Keogh’s Farm: Irish Craft, Family Heritage and

Premium Quality

A Story of Authenticity, Innovation and European Recognition
Keogh’s Farm stands as one of Ireland’s most distinctive and respected food producers, built on a
foundation of family values, agricultural heritage, and a relentless commitment to quality.
Located in North County Dublin, the Keogh family has been farming the land for generations. What
began as a traditional farming operation evolved into a fully integrated “from crop to crisp” business,
where every stage of production — from growing potatoes to cooking and packaging — is
controlled on-site. This approach ensures complete traceability, consistency, and exceptional
product quality.
At the heart of Keogh’s success is a close-knit and dedicated team. The company operates not just
as a business, but as a family-driven enterprise where craftsmanship, care, and attention to detail
define every product. This unity and shared purpose are reflected in the final result: crisps that are
honest, authentic, and unmistakably Irish.
Keogh’s products are widely recognised across Europe as premium-quality snacks. Their
commitment to natural ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and clean labelling has positioned
the brand strongly within the growing demand for high-quality, transparent food products.
A key advantage of Keogh’s crisps is their suitability for modern consumers. All products are
gluten-free, making them accessible to a broad audience. In addition, several flavours are naturally
lactose-free, further enhancing their appeal in today’s health-conscious market.
Over the years, Keogh’s has received numerous awards and industry recognitions, both in Ireland
and internationally. These accolades reflect not only the quality of the products themselves but also
the strength of the brand and its reputation within the European food sector.
One of the defining features of the Keogh’s range is its Crinkle Cut line. These crisps are thicker,
more structured, and designed to deliver a superior texture and flavour experience. The crinkle cut
enhances the crispness and allows for better seasoning distribution, making it particularly well
suited for pairing with craft beer and premium beverages.
Today, Keogh’s Farm represents the modern face of Irish food production: independent, innovative,
and deeply rooted in tradition. It is a brand that combines agricultural heritage with contemporary
standards, offering products that are not only enjoyable but also trustworthy and consistent.
For partners and consumers alike, Keogh’s is more than just a crisp — it is a reflection of Ireland’s
land, people, and passion for quality food.

Kinnegar Brewing

Kinnegar Brewing: Craft, Character, and the Spirit of Donegal
Kinnegar Brewing has established itself as one of Ireland’s most respected and distinctive craft
breweries. Founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Rick LeVert and Libby Carton, the brewery
takes its name from Kinnegar Beach, located near Rathmullan in County Donegal — a place that
reflects both the wild beauty and authenticity that define the brand.
From the very beginning, Kinnegar Brewing set out with a clear philosophy: to create balanced,
flavour-driven beers that remain true to traditional brewing techniques while embracing modern
craft innovation. Unlike many breweries that focus heavily on extremes, Kinnegar is known for its
restraint, precision, and drinkability.
The brewery’s early success was driven by standout beers such as Rustbucket Rye Ale, Scraggy
Bay IPA, and Devil’s Backbone Amber Ale. These core products quickly gained recognition across
Ireland for their consistency and character. Over time, Kinnegar expanded its range to include
seasonal releases and limited editions, further strengthening its reputation among craft beer
enthusiasts.
A key milestone in the company’s development was the opening of its purpose-built brewery in
Letterkenny. This move allowed Kinnegar to significantly scale production while maintaining strict
quality control. Today, the brewery operates one of the most modern independent brewing facilities
in Ireland.
In terms of market position, Kinnegar Brewing holds a strong place within the Irish craft beer sector.
It is widely distributed across the country, present in both on-trade (bars, restaurants) and off-trade
(retail) channels. While Ireland’s craft beer market remains competitive, Kinnegar stands out for its
consistency, branding, and loyal customer base.
On a European level, Kinnegar continues to grow its export footprint. Its beers are increasingly
available in selected markets, particularly where there is demand for authentic Irish craft products.
The brewery’s focus on quality rather than volume positions it well within the premium segment of
the European craft beer market.
Kinnegar Brewing has also received numerous awards and industry recognitions over the years.
These include accolades from Irish and international beer competitions, highlighting both product
quality and brand excellence. While awards are not the primary focus of the company, they
reinforce its reputation as a serious and respected producer.
What truly sets Kinnegar apart is its identity. The brand combines strong visual design, a sense of
place, and a commitment to authenticity. Each beer tells a story, not only through its flavour but also
through its name, artwork, and connection to Donegal.
Today, Kinnegar Brewing represents the modern face of Irish craft beer: independent,
quality-driven, and rooted in local tradition while confidently looking outward to international
markets. For consumers and partners alike, it offers not just beer, but a complete and compelling
craft experience.

The Spirit of Ireland

The Spirit of Ireland
Craft. Heritage. Character.

Ireland does not create drinks.
It creates meaning.
Across its windswept coasts and quiet villages, something deeper has always been distilled — not
just spirits, but identity.
Beer was never just beer.
It was conversation. Community. Belonging.
Long before the world discovered craft, Ireland lived it. From the dark, velvet depth of stout to the
new wave of independent breweries redefining tradition, Irish beer carries both history and rebellion
in equal measure.
Whiskey tells a different story.
One of rise, fall, and return.
Once the most admired spirit in the world, it faded — only to rise again with quiet confidence.
Today, Irish whiskey is not chasing the past. It is redefining the future, balancing precision with soul.
Gin, meanwhile, speaks of modern Ireland.
Fresh. Experimental. Rooted in nature.
Distillers work with wild botanicals, coastal elements, and seasonal character — capturing
landscape in liquid form.
And then there is poitín.
Unpolished. Elemental. True.
The original spirit of Ireland, once hidden, now reborn — carrying with it the raw essence of a
culture that never needed permission to exist.
What unites these drinks is not category.
It is philosophy.
A respect for craft.
A refusal to rush.
A belief that what matters cannot be mass-produced.
This is Ireland — not as a place, but as a feeling.

To experience it is not simply to taste.
It is to understand.

Irish Beverages

The Spirit of Ireland: A Journey Through Its Drinks
Ireland is not simply a country of drinks — it is a country where every glass carries a story. From
windswept coasts to quiet village pubs, Irish beverages reflect centuries of tradition, resilience, and
craft.
Beer lies at the heart of Irish social life. For generations, the pub has been more than a place to
drink — it is a place to gather, to speak, and to belong. The iconic stout, rich and dark with notes of
roasted barley, became a symbol of Ireland worldwide. Yet beyond the familiar lies a growing craft
movement: independent breweries redefining Irish beer with bold flavors, local ingredients, and
modern techniques.
Irish whiskey tells a story of rise, fall, and remarkable revival. Once the most popular whiskey in the
world, it nearly disappeared in the 20th century. Today, it stands reborn. Triple-distilled for
smoothness and character, Irish whiskey blends tradition with innovation, offering both timeless
classics and new expressions from emerging distilleries.
In recent years, Ireland has embraced a new wave of spirit-making through gin. Small-batch
distilleries across the island are crafting distinctive gins using native botanicals — from wild herbs to
coastal plants. These gins capture the landscape itself, turning nature into flavor.
And then there is poitín — the original spirit of Ireland. Once illegal and produced in secret, it is now
legally distilled again, representing authenticity in its purest form. Strong, raw, and deeply rooted in
history, poitín connects modern Ireland to its past.
Together, these drinks form a living tradition. They are not just products, but expressions of a
culture that values craftsmanship, storytelling, and connection.

To taste Ireland is to understand it — one glass at a time.
