The Irish beer industry is facing increasing cost pressures. After years of epidemics, logistics disruptions, and geopolitical tensions, water prices have risen significantly. Starting from October 1, 2025, water prices will increase by nearly 10%, and water is a core element in beer production.

For many small breweries, this is simply unbearable. The recent closure of factories such as Kilani Brewery and Black Donkey Brewery has resulted in dozens of job losses.

According to the Irish Independent Craft Brewers Association, the burden on small businesses is becoming increasingly heavy, not only due to rising water prices, but also due to additional legislation such as mandatory deposit systems.

A spokesperson for Carlo Brewery emphasized that 90% of the ingredients in soda eoe beer are water, and a cost increase of 50% to 100% is now the norm. The soaring costs of glass, cardboard, and energy are squeezing profit margins. This makes people wonder: is this the price paid globally for the constantly accumulating crises, wars, and regulations?
