Gráinne Walsh is founder and managing director of Metalman Brewing, a microbrewery based in Waterford city. Gráinne left behind a career in IT to jump headlong into the beverage industry in 2011, contract brewing the first Metalman products at a microbrewery in Tipperary while building the brewery in Waterford city. The brewery has undertaken several expansion projects since its inception, including a brewhouse upgrade and the installation of the first canning line at a microbrewery in Ireland. Metalman has continued to expand its product line, and is expanding into international markets this year: join us for this special event as Gráinne shares how her love for quality beer – and especially local flavours and their provenance – has led her on an ambitious path to success.
