Jack Cody’s Brewery

In 2014, Geoff Fitzpatrick was finally able to realise his dream when he opened his brewery in his hometown of Drogheda, County Louth. It’s the first brewery in the town for over 50 years, ever since William Cairnes closed in 1960.



Geoff launched with two beers, Smiggy Amber Ale and Puck Pilsner. Since then he has expanded the range to include an IPA, a cream stout and perhaps most interesting of all, a grapefruit tea pale ale. The brewery also offers seasonals such as a summer saison, a Samhain brown ale or an extra stout for Saint Patrick’s Day. Geoff is not afraid of big, bold flavours in his beers, making this brewery one to watch.
